A Twitch channel has specialized in showcasing games of the worst players from League of Legends. In doing so, it has become as successful as hardly any other channel in the category.
This channel is about: On the Twitch channel “SaltyTeemo” LoL matches are shown 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All matches only feature players from the “Iron IV” division of LoL.
Iron IV is the worst rank, that players can have in LoL since the overhaul. Accordingly, viewers can continuously watch the worst players in LoL on the channel – both ranked and unranked.
How successful is the channel: According to sullygnome, SaltyTeemo has the fourth highest follower growth in the last seven days in the “League of Legends” category (as of June 8, 2:50 PM).
Over 2400 fans watched simultaneously, and on average, there are 876 viewers present. While SaltyTeemo can’t yet compete globally, it is the only one among the top 50 most-watched LoL streams without a partnership with Twitch.
What makes the channel so special?
This stream offers these features: One of the special features of the stream is that viewers can bet on the participating teams. For this, they receive the virtual currency “Mushrooms”.
Viewers earn mushrooms through other functions in the chat – such as a command with a one-hour cooldown or a registration. However, to use the chat, viewers must follow it.
They can then place their mushrooms on the team they expect to win during the first three minutes of the match using a chat function on the Twitch channel. On the website My SaltyTeemo, they can see how well their bets have been so far.
That’s why people watch: Looking into the chat of the channel, there are several reasons why viewers are so fascinated by SaltyTeemo:
- They enjoy watching entertaining matches at a low level and have fun over mistakes.
- They admire the enthusiasm that many of the players show and cheer them on.
- They collect mushrooms and place bets.
- They watch amazing plays, which occasionally occur even in Iron IV.
However, it is strictly prohibited to make fun of the players directly or to insult them. Even joking about assigning a gamer tag to play pranks can lead to penalties.
According to the channel, this is necessary for its continued operation. The rules were established due to previous incidents of toxic behavior and would be even enforced by higher-ranking companies.
For those who prefer to play LoL themselves rather than watch, they can look forward to a new champion:
