The Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has made history on his channel since February 2021. His recent Elden Ring run became the gaming event of the year as he defeated the game after more than 165 hours and over 1700 deaths.
Which streamer is it? This is the streamer Kai Cenat. Since February 2021, he has been streaming on his Twitch channel and has already broken two records in his still quite short career.
Currently, the streamer has over 10.5 million followers on his channel with an average view count of over 96,000 viewers (via SullyGnome).
Most recently, the streamer gained attention for his Elden Ring stream, in which he completed the game and it became the gaming event of the year.
230,000 viewers wanted to see him win.
Why was his Elden Ring run special? For Kai Cenat, it was the first Soulslike game that the American streamer completed.
He took over 165 hours and suffered over 1700 deaths during his complete run and finished with a victory shout: I have defeated Elden Ring
.
His stream peaked at 230,000 viewers, who mainly mocked him. He struggled for 6 hours on the optional miniboss Tree Sentinel, which players encounter at the beginning of the game.
During his stream, Kai Cenat liked to sit on his iron throne and was visited by his friends in full armor to receive helpful advice from them. When his friends in knight armor didn’t surprise him, there were also moments when the NBA Finals trophy was presented to him.
Reactions from the community: On every social media platform, there are countless videos with clips from Kai Cenat’s stream. It is particularly clear that the viewers seem to have truly enjoyed their time in the stream, as many new quirky clips emerged.
A user named Okami13_ wrote on X that he was particularly impressed by the streamer’s reaction when he defeated Malenia. The user says this is why FromSoftware is his favorite developer.
The user SoulKingLives even compares Kai Cenat on X to Yuji Itadori from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen at the end of the Shibuya arc when he took over 10 hours to defeat a boss.
However, Kai Cenat does not always come off in a positive context. In August of last year, one of his fan meetings got out of control, resulting in several injuries and arrests. You can read here how it happened: Twitch: Injuries and arrests after out-of-control fan meeting
