The Twitch streamer summit1g was excited about the great community during a round of Escape from Tarkov. Shortly, he is proven wrong and is taken down by exactly the kind of player he claims is rarely present.
What happened to summit1g? As summit1g is finishing a round of Escape from Tarkov, he excitedly talks about the community:
I have been playing this game for quite a while, and honestly, it’s incredible how few people “exit camp”. One might think there is a huge community of exit campers, but it rarely happens, and when it does, you really lose your mind.
Hardly has he said this, and while at the end of the map, he gets shot in the back and can’t even tell exactly from where. The camper keeps firing at him.
Summit1g ultimately has no other choice but to simply try to run to the exit. He makes a move but is killed on the way. His reaction is as predicted: he stands up and almost hits his chair.
Summit1g, EFT and Exit Campers
Why is this so annoying? In Escape from Tarkov, you lose all the loot you collected during the round if you don’t make it to the exit. Summit1g was looting for 40 minutes.
Exit campers wait at the exits to ambush unsuspecting and careless collectors, take their loot, and then escape with it. It’s not a particularly fair way to play, but it’s efficient.
That’s why summit1g is particularly affected: Summit1g is one of the streamers who have made Escape from Tarkov popular. It is his fourth most streamed game in the last 365 days with over 219 hours of stream time (via sullygnome, as of January 7 at 6:20 PM).
Additionally, summit1g ranks fifth among the streamers watched during the past year playing EFT. Since Ninja and shroud moved to Mixer, summit1g has a chance to become the new number one on Twitch. EFT could help him with that, as he has also had great success with Sea of Thieves.
Escape from Tarkov is currently experiencing a surge in popularity. Many streamers are switching from Fortnite to EFT. The shooter is very popular – also on Twitch:
