The Twitch streamer Timmy “iiTzTimmy” An has an incredible gaming session behind him. He played 54 hours straight on stream without a break and worked his way up from the “Bronze” rank to the highest rank “Apex Predator”.
Who doesn’t know this – after the announcement “Let’s go all out this weekend”, you find yourself on Friday night with a belly full of chips and beer on the nearest couch, hoping not to be the first one to fall asleep. The Twitch streamer “iiTzTimmy” can only laugh about it.
In an intense stream that ran for about 54 hours almost without a pause, the streamer fought his way up the ranking of Battle Royale Apex Legends from the lowest rank “Bronze” to the master level “Predator”. Only the top 750 players on a platform are allowed to bear this title, and “iiTzTimmy” definitely deserves it.
Stream at the Limit – “iiTzTimmy” Pushes Through for 54 Hours
What was going on? iiTzTimmy has been streaming on his current Twitch channel for just over 4 years and broke through to 1 million followers through this stream. Earlier this year, he made a name for himself with strong performances, achieving the Master rank of Apex in 33 hours or setting the former world record for the most damage in a round of Apex (via YouTube).
Timmy was also part of the Valorant team of shroud, where the shooter veteran himself played.
But currently, Timmy is all about Apex Legends – and how. It took 54 hours for the 21-year-old to completely go through the ranks. In the first hours, he showcased his skills and pulled off some impressive gameplay maneuvers with his legend “Pathfinder”, like this one:
But time was working against iiTzTimmy. With each rank reached, stronger opponents enter the match. Additionally, every further hour drains concentration and mental state. Tired comes dumb, that applies to pro players like iiTzTimmy as well. Just before the end of his stream, it looks like this:
Joy with energy didn’t really come at the end either. It seemed more like a relief. Yet, iiTzTimmy manages, after more than 54 hours on stream, to reach the Predator rank and land in 613th place among the best players on his platform:
How did he manage that? Talent and willpower. Initially, the opponents are still easy and his mind is alert. But despite many hours of streaming, during which he apparently didn’t take a longer break, Timmy pulls through the challenge, shows off his skills in Apex Legends, and an incredible staying power. Check out iiTzTimmy’s channel (via Twitch) if you want to see his skills for yourself.
In a tweet, he thanked everyone for the support:
Why does he do this? A classic case of: “Because he can”. But professionally, the stream has pushed him forward as well. Overall, Timmy managed to generate more than 100,000 new followers over the 54 hours and broke the 1 million mark (via twitchtracker.com). A significant leap and certainly a worthwhile endeavor for the streamer.
In terms of pushing through and delivering performance, Timmy has set the bar high. But the shooter expert is still not up to par with the subathon streams of some colleagues. Streamer Ludwig once streamed for 31 days straight, as each sub increased the stream length by a certain amount of time. Also a torture for the streamer, but at least Ludwig went to sleep.
