Our List

Our list of the streamers with the most subscribers is based on the available facts.

Therefore, the number of followers and the quality of their content were the only things taken into account when it comes to their ranking.

But, bear in mind that some of the streamers have more fans on other platforms, such as Facebook Gaming or Youtube.

Moreover, if you are interested you can check various gaming teams such as Team Solomid, Luminosity Gaming, or Team Mythic that can offer even more interesting faces.

We have decided to include a few people worth of honorable mentions, so check them out, as well.

Honorable mentions:

A guy with an incredible story. Shall we say a RocknRolla of the streaming?

Well, many would not agree with that because Tyler Steinkamp has earned the nickname “The Most Toxic Player in North America” in 2018.

Namely, Tyler was so disruptive and offensive towards other players that he was even banned in 2017, but he changed and returned shortly after.

Now, he plays for a South Korean esports team called T1 and has around 4.5 million subscriptions on Twitch.

Moreover, he has shared his experience with addiction to League of Legends and motivated other addicted users and fans to do so, in order to raise awareness about the dark side of favorite games and gaming.

Not a bad comeback?

This gamer from Suffolk (England) has been successful in a few areas already.

Namely, except that he has a well-known streaming channel, he has released a few songs which ended on the UK Singles Chart and the UK Indie Chart, formed his band named Lovejoy, and started a podcast called Hey and stuff.

However, he is most known for his Minecraft streams, and he even competed in various Minecraft tournaments.

Well, what can we say about a guy who sold 35 million hip-hop albums worldwide?

Firstly that he does not want to be one of the hottest on the platform, nor he wants to attract a bunch of followers on Twitch.

He is satisfied with a few hundred thousand followers, and an average of tens of thousands of viewers per video.

Therefore, most days his live streams are more like the backstage of Snopp’s real life.

Secondly, Snopp simply does not give a damn!

It often happens that his streams are mistakenly muted, that he swears, or that he does not give a damn about the community standards.

So, finally, we can say that just occasional “vibing” with this man can improve your mood, and maybe give you some crazy idea about your entertaining show, who knows?
