With 20 years of experience, xRohat is already one of the larger German streamers on Twitch. He has almost 900,000 followers and averages around 5,000 viewers. He does not want MontanaBlack to be blamed for his success.
What kind of streamer is he? xRohat is a 20-year-old streamer who has been active on Twitch since December 2019. In 2020, he primarily showcased role-playing in GTA 5, where he portrayed the gangster “Big Sosa”.
When MontanaBlack, one of the biggest German streamers, joined in the summer of 2021, xRohat was able to immensely benefit from the renewed hype around the RPG: Between August and September 2021, his average viewers increased from 447 to 7,385 (via Sullygnome).
A boost from larger creators can be very valuable for lesser-known streamers, but for some, it can be difficult to break away from the big streamers. This is currently the case for the German streamer Chefstrobel, who is tired of being seen as the eternal sidekick of Trymacs.
Exactly this emotional video was the reason xRohat took to discuss his own experiences in a stream on August 19.
Streamer wants his own achievements to be recognized
What does xRohat say? The Twitch streamer is annoyed that he is only known to many people through MontanaBlack. Although he received a significant boost from the larger streamer, this applies to the entire roleplay scene at that time.
However, he has managed to retain viewers through his own performance. For example, he held a marathon stream in October 2021, reaching up to 50,000 concurrent viewers and gaining tens of thousands of new followers (via Sullygnome).
A montage of the stream is currently making the rounds on TikTok, and we have embedded it for you here:
What is the relationship with MontanaBlack like? xRohat explains that he has known MontanaBlack since before the GTA times. Back then, he played the party game Pummel Party with the larger streamer, but was consciously not live to avoid the impression of riding on MontanaBlack’s coattails.
Nevertheless, the 20-year-old has previously stated how grateful he is to MontanaBlack, but also to the YouTuber unsympathischTV, who included him in his videos when no one knew him yet. For xRohat, it mainly seems to be about not being reduced to MontanaBlack.
Thus, the 20-year-old has also proven to have a good sense for trends. At the beginning of the year, he was right at the forefront when half of Twitch-Germany was gripped by Minecraft fever and was able to place himself ahead of “Uncle Monte” in terms of watch time (via Sullygnome).
MontanaBlack, in turn, is well aware of his enormous reach and the influence that comes with it. The 35-year-old likes to talk about whom or what he has brought to prominence.
However, this comes at a price, as in return, the Twitch streamer demands respect. If he is not sufficiently shown respect, MontanaBlack can become quite unpleasant. This was evident during the release of his secret project, the energy drink Gönrgy:
