He beat out Overwatch League, Riot Games, and Eleague in total and had 9 million more to spare.
Legit insane.
That influence number is probably the most illuminating thing on there.
The last 2 weeks summit has played Sea of Thieves has probably been more valuable for that game than any traditional television ads.

I honestly feel it's come to a point where all marketing should be positioned to pay big streamers to just play your game.
We're already there which is why it's super important Twitch and other online platforms adhere to FTC rules and make it visible who and who isn't getting paid to play a certain game at a certain time.
Summit's playing of SoT has been super organic but it's hard to tell which streams are essentially paid ads as it is now.
It's pretty daunting imagining all of those hours watched to primarily one person be it Ninja, Shroud, etc.
That's an absolutely massive audience. And unlike having a cable news show you dont even have to censor yourself that much.
All that popularity for being good at a games and fairly personable. Mad respect.

Never seen Lirik stream at peak US times, not surprised. Also doesn't use webcam.

Ninja playing Fortnite is popular. Ninja, when playing anything else drops to like 5K. People like Summit, Shroud, Soda, Lirik, Doc etc, play whatever they want and have 15K to 40K.
This is not true at all, he drops to 5-10k when playing FFXI, but when he played Call of Duty he still pulled 50-100k. When he played that battle royale that Cliffy made he pulled 50-100k. He just doesn't play much beyond that.
Shroud's been my go-to "on in the background" stream for a while now, well mostly VODs considering my work hours
Surprised to see him above OWL though, pretty cool

I'd guess he's in the 11-20 bracket, but his viewership has been somewhat reduced by the Fortnite craze (which he doesn't play). It was apparent he was pretty bummed about it the beginning of last year but he seems to have come to terms with it at this point.
Also has weird hours and takes an entire day off each week.
Sodapoppin's irl stuff has been so damn entertaining. Wish Tyler1 would stop playing League.
Yep, I always appreciate when streamers make it clear (which they should be doing anyway, obviously). DansGaming usually has a pretty sizable watermark of "#ad or "#PaidStream" or something on his screen when something is a paid stream, as do a few others I watch. Most of them also add it in the title of the stream and of course constantly mention it when talking.
