The Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel announces his very own marathon stream. The streamer wants to be live for 60 days straight and break records.
This was announced: In one of his recent streams, xQc specifically talked about a marathon stream. It is supposed to last a full 60 days and be broadcasted over several computers. There is no specific date yet, as the streamer wants to prepare for it first.
With this stream, xQc would certainly break some records and attract a lot of attention. He is doubling the streaming time compared to Ludwig, the streamer who has caused a lot of buzz around his long stream in recent weeks.
60 Days Marathon Stream Could Cause Records
Here xQc talks about it: We embed the Twitch clip here, in which xQc talks about the so-called Subathon. He says: “I will get two or 3 whole computers so that I can hold the Subathon throughout the whole house. Yes, it is supposed to last 60 days.” You can find the clip here:
This is how Ludwig’s Subathon went: The streamer Ludwig set a completely new trend and challenged his viewers. They become subscribers, and in return, the streamer stays live longer. The project became so big that Ludwig banned particularly large sub-gifters and ultimately even set a subscriber record. Ludwig had 283,000 subscribers after this time.
The stream caused a stir worldwide, and thousands of new viewers followed Ludwig’s stream. In the end, the streamer earned over 1.3 million dollars through the numerous subs. However, he does not want to repeat such a project.
This is how it could go for xQc: Compared to Ludwig, xQc is a significantly larger streamer. He is currently in first place on Twitch when it comes to the most viewed channels. This inherently brings significantly more fans to the screens. With such an event, xQc could become even bigger and break records. Ludwig’s subscriber record could well be broken with a similar success.
However, it must also be mentioned that this event is no longer quite new, and the surprise that there was with Ludwig is gone. In the end, it remains to be seen whether xQc will actually last the full 60 days or if he has to end it earlier. It also remains open whether the stream will find as much favor as it did with Ludwig.
What’s else happening in the Twitch world? Recently, there was stress between Twitch and a streamer. He sued in court over a ban and won, but Twitch remains tough. You can learn the whole story behind it here:
