The streamer Shlorox has been live on Twitch for more than two weeks now. This has been rewarded with a new record.
What kind of streamer is he? Shlorox is mainly known as a role-player in GTA 5. The action-adventure makes up a large part of his total stream time. When he is not in GTA, Shlorox chats with his viewers in “Just Chatting” or plays games like Arma 3, Counter-Strike or occasionally some MMORPGs.
Shlorox has been regularly streaming on Twitch for years and was even in the top 10 of the most-watched German streamers of the year from 2018 to 2020 (via SullyGnome). Now the streamer has set a new record, surpassing even the German number 1, EliasN97.
Internationally, the former Overwatch pro xQc has long been the undisputed number 1 on Twitch:
400 Hours of Continuous Streaming and No End in Sight
What kind of record is this? On the evening of Friday, March 1, 2024, Shlorox broke the record for the most simultaneous paid subscriptions on German Twitch. The record was previously held by the currently biggest German streamer EliasN97 with 85,475 subs. The Berliner took the record from Trymacs in 2023.
Shlorox currently has more than 90,000 simultaneous subs and is therefore ranked second internationally, behind Jynxzi, the big winner on Twitch (as of March 2, 2024, via TwitchTracker).
You can see the decisive moment here (warning, it gets loud):
How did he achieve that? Shlorox is currently hosting a so-called Subathon – a marathon stream in which each completed paid subscription extends the duration of the stream. This concept has already earned another streamer two world records at once.
Shlorox has been live since February 15, which means he’s been streaming for almost 400 hours already (as of March 2, 2024). He is supported by friendly streamers – when one goes to sleep, another takes over to entertain the viewers. This way, entertainment is provided even in the middle of the night.
However, this also results in a surprisingly low average viewer count: After all, significantly fewer people watch at night, which consequently lowers the average.
Yet, even with his peak of nearly 9,000 simultaneous viewers, Shlorox cannot compete with colleagues like Papaplatte, EliasN97, or Gronkh, who often have tens of thousands of viewers. It is all the more impressive that the streamer’s community has now granted him the sub record.
By the way, Shlorox started with a little over 6,000 subs – in just 16 days he was able to gain 84,000 subs.
During his Subathon, Shlorox mainly showcases various games like Counter-Strike 2. However, he also used his current hype for a good cause: During his Twitch colleague Metashi12’s charity event on March 1, the streamer actively collected donations. So far, more than 100,000 euros have been raised for German cancer aid.
