The Spanish Twitch streamer Rickyexp is currently causing a lot of excitement in the Twitch community. He is being celebrated for how creatively and humorously he ended his stream. You have to see this.
Who is it about? The streamer Rickyexp had his first stream on Twitch just a few hours ago. The person is known as a moderator and editor for the Spanish streamer Ibai. Ibai regularly streams to hundreds of thousands of viewers (via Sullygnome.com), and as a result, his moderators and editors have also become somewhat known, with Rickyexp, for example, gaining tens of thousands of followers on Twitter.
Many were looking forward to Rickyexp’s first stream. And he demonstrated the skills he has already proven in video editing during his broadcast.
This clip from the end of the stream is going viral
This is how it went at the end: At the end of his stream, Rickyexp thanks his viewers, grabs the camera, and takes it in his hand. He then presses a button on his Stream Deck with a Minecraft symbol.
Suddenly, obsidian blocks fall from the sky against a free wall in his streaming room and build a nether portal. In Minecraft, these portals are used to travel between the overworld and the Nether. The portal builds up very loudly during the broadcast (warning to all headphone users) and is finally activated with a purple glow.
Rickyexp enters the portal, and the loading screen that you would also see in Minecraft appears. Suddenly, you see from a first-person perspective how the streamer walks through a Minecraft world and positions the toolbar in a way that the viewers can see it well. Then he takes a sword in hand, looks to the side, and is taken out by a creeper that explodes right next to him. A typical and frustrating cause of death in Minecraft.
Then, in large letters, “Endstream” lights up in the stream.
This is how the video is received: Within 16 hours, over 114,000 people have already watched the clip on Twitch. On Twitter , Ricky also shared the clip, where it has already been viewed half a million times. Viewers are celebrating the clip and Rickyexp for his creativity. He is described as “crazy” and has shown the “most original” way to end his stream.
On reddit viewers write:
- “Damn, the guy is on another level”
- “The coolest thing I’ve seen on LSF in the last few months” [LSF stands for Livestreamfails, the subreddit with 1.4 million members where the clip was shared]
- “This is how streaming should be. I think the possibilities of the medium are being wasted because it is seen as a live YouTube video player”
- “The clip is really cool, but I don’t think Twitch is the best platform for this. Most people wouldn’t want to watch for hours. This kind of content is much better suited for YT or TikTok. Just look at Zach King on TikTok, that guy is huge there.”
- “A rare case where someone is genuinely concerned about the quality of their streaming content”
Others are saying that they now have high expectations for his future streams, and even though they do not speak Spanish, they are looking forward to what Rickyexp will come up with for his streams.
Recently, the Twitch Awards were held, recognizing the best streamers in various categories. However, not all winners were present live at the event. The “best MMORPG streamer” receives his award from his cluttered room and everyone loves it.
