Elias “EliasN97” Nerlich is the number 1 of the German Twitch. To keep it that way, he regularly comes up with special events. After competing in a win challenge against his friends, he now faces tricky challenges alone.
What was on the agenda? In his latest win challenge, EliasN97 faced again tricky challenges in games like Fall Guys, Elden Ring, and Valorant from June 20 to June 21, 2023. Additionally, he struggled with his own technology.
EliasN97 took the lead from MontanaBlack at the top of the German Twitch.
52,000 watch him fail for 14 hours in Fall Guys
How did the streamer perform? Contrary to what the name might suggest, the viewers of a win challenge are not just about winning, but also about seeing their streamer fail repeatedly.
That would at least explain why EliasN97 attracted up to 52,000 viewers when he tried to conquer the tricky map of his colleague Repaz in Fall Guys for 14 hours.
About the same number of viewers tuned in again when the streamer attempted a speedrun in the current Twitch hit Only Up! In this case, the streamer found some challenges like FIFA or Valorant significantly easier but attracted fewer viewers.
His persistence paid off: EliasN97 ended his marathon stream after nearly 35 hours with over 3 million views, including almost 600,000 unique viewers. Meanwhile, the streamer also racked up 4,645 new followers and 5,844 new subs.
Overall, it was a big success for the streamer, who took a break after his achievement to start again today, June 22.
Thus, EliasN97 is back in first place in the German Twitch, after a significantly smaller streamer left him looking bad at the beginning of June . Internationally, he is currently in 5th place with 1.2 million watched hours (via sullygnome).
Such and similar marathon streams are popular on Twitch, and indeed sleep is often a topic. Some viewers are disturbed, for example, that streamers sleep during a subathon while the stream timer continues to run.
Some streamers therefore challenge themselves to stay awake as long as possible. This includes the German streamer Imani, who streamed for nearly 172 hours straight.
