The week of events and major happenings has erupted in gaming. Special events in WoW, LoL, and Counter-Strike 2 are causing a crazy reshuffle in the top 5 on Twitch. The big personality streamers who usually appear there are all gone. Only the Germans Papaplatte and eliasN97 remain in the top 10.
Who dominates Twitch? The most successful streamers on Twitch are all famous personalities, usually known for a specific game or style of streaming:
The most successful streamer is the American Kai Cenat, who is causing a stir with event streams. He plays through games in one go. Last week, however, he was busy with a wild basketball action.
Number 2 is Ibai, a Spaniard rooted in eSports who organizes large events. Essentially, his ideas serve as a template for German streamers like Trymacs, who suddenly feel inspired to host a boxing event.
In places 3 to 5 are Gaules, a CS:GO constant streamer, fps_shaka, a Japanese gamer, and newcomer Jynxzi, who only plays Rainbow Six Siege.
Trymacs is currently number 13 in Germany. He is currently focusing more on League of Legends:
Events in WoW, Counter-Strike, and LoL dominate Twitch
Which channels are dominating this week? This week is all about three events:
The world-first race in WoW has concluded. Therefore, Echo-Esports is in first place on Twitch.
Maximum, leader of the guild Team Liquid, holds the 4th place, and Team Liquid’s channel itself drops in at 5th place on the charts.
All 3 channels streamed the race to see who would be the first to defeat the raid boss in World of Warcraft. In the end, Team Liquid won, despite previously being caught cheating .
The “World First race” has now been thoroughly commercialized and sponsored. Otherwise, the guilds likely wouldn’t stream the race, as it is generally considered a competitive disadvantage to let other guilds watch how you perform and what tactics you try.
This week, the channel “BLASTpremier” is in 2nd place on Twitch. From September 25 to 29, the BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024, a tournament in Copenhagen, Denmark, for $425,000 took place. The tournament and $200,000 were won by G2 Esports on September 29.
In 3rd place, with double the viewers than usual, is Caedrel, a LoL analyst. He is casting the starting LoL World Championships live, which began over the weekend in Berlin and have already claimed their first victim.
Where do the most successful Germans stand? Against the trend, Papaplatte is holding 8th place and eliasn97 is holding 10th place in the top spots. Papaplatte has even been able to gain significantly, while eliasn97 lost compared to last week.
What’s next? In CS:GO and WoW, the events are already over, and they will drop again—so there will be movement in the top 5 again.
The LoL Worlds have only just begun, and it can be expected that Caedrel will continue to gain ground, and the Riot Games channel will also rise from 6th place.
In German Twitch, especially Tolkin is likely to benefit from the LoL boom. He can stream the LoL Worlds live and has increased his viewer minutes by 398% in the last 7 days: LoL: German streamer has more viewers at Worlds on Twitch than the official stream of his former company
