Twitch is one of the most viewed platforms in the world. If you rewind to the year 2019, only a few people in the gaming community were aware of this platform.  

However, post-pandemic Twitch has seen unsurmountable popularity, with the platform acquiring an average of 2.63 million viewers. 

This popularity has helped the gaming scene reach mainstream media and attract a new generation of gamers. Moreover, this popularity can be credited to the influence and engagement amassed by the top streamers of Twitch. 

These influencers have created their dedicated fanbase and drove Twitch views to the next level. Therefore, this article investigates the five great Twitch influencers of 2024 that you can work with. 

What is Twitch?

Let’s understand what Twitch is before delving into the top Twitch influencers. Twitch is a live streaming service for gamers. Non-gamers can not grasp the allure of watching other people play video games, but with 2.6 million viewers each day, Twitch is extremely popular. 

The major focus of Twitch is video games. Users may watch other people play games, engage with other viewers, and live broadcast their own gaming to the entire globe. Many different games are streamed, with prominent titles, including Teamfight Tactics, League of Legends, Fortnite, and Grand Theft Auto V, being among the most viewed. 

Streamers may also earn money through Twitch memberships and collaborations.

1. NINJA 

Ninja, aka Tyler Blevins, is a unique character with several sponsorship deals riding on his shoulders nowadays. His journey into the world of streaming began a decade ago, yet it was the release of Fortnite that made his channel gain unsurmountable momentum, attracting more than 100,000 viewers a day.  

Ninja’s early days on the platform were characterized by his dry humor, slick skills, and – occasionally – energetic outbursts, well documented across multiple platforms. 

However, March 2018 turned out to be the defining moment in Ninja’s career when his stream achieved over 600,000 concurrent viewers. The stream saw popular faces, such as Drake and Travis Scott, tuning in to play some games with the blue-haired streamer in front of a diverse audience.  

This collaboration of two different industries – music and gaming – generated a loyal fan base who were introduced to streaming for the very first time.

2. SHROUD

Shroud inherited his love of gaming and technology from his father, who would play video games with him from a very young age and built every computer that they owned. This was why his father was happy to supply his son with the latest consoles and gaming equipment when he was growing up. It was also his dad who initially introduced him to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS).  

Although he can no longer play with him, his father is very supportive and watches every tournament match that he participates in. Shroud used to watch Summit1g’s streams when he was in high school and was inspired to attempt uploading his own content. 

He began streaming on YouTube soon after he upgraded his internet package in 2012 when he was seventeen. However, he hadn’t considered that it could develop into a career at the time. As his skills increased, so did his standing in tournaments.  

He was soon approached by Complexity, now known as Cloud9, to join their team. Shroud did so and remained on the team until 2017, when he decided to resign and focus on streaming full-time. He occasionally streams with DrDisrepect and Ninja.

3. KAICENAT

Kaicenat came crashing into the Twitch scene and took a detour from the conventional gaming platform. Cenat is so popular, with 6.5 million Twitch followers (the most-subscribed user on the network) and 4 million YouTube subscribers, that his promotional activities may cause widespread havoc. 

Throughout his often turbulent career, Cenat has progressively invited high-profile rappers, such as Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage, to hang out and conduct interviews. He’s also produced his own tracks while expanding his material globally: a recent trip overseas resulted in the video “I Rented Us Girlfriends In Japan.”  

Starting at the end of January 2023, he earned his most significant Twitch milestone, successfully livestreaming around the clock for a 30-day “subathon” to boost memberships. He even slept on camera, only pausing to use the restroom, and smashed the previous record for active subscribers, with more than 300,000 paid viewers.

4. POKIMANE

Imane’  Pokemane’ Ennis is one of the most popular Twitch streamers. With over 23 million followers across her social networks, including 5.4 million on Twitch, she is the streaming platform’s top female streamer. He started playing League of Legends and Fortnite and has now moved on to other games.  

In addition to his live streaming and content development, he has created an endowment to fund student tuition and scholarships in the UCI eSports program.

5. SUMMIT1G

Summit1g is one of the platform’s top earners, with millions of followers during his career. His popularity can be credited to his entertaining and instructive content. He began making game videos, focusing on first-person shooters like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty.  

As his channel gained popularity, he began hosting variety shows with guests from all walks of life. His insightful analysis and engaging demeanor make him one of Twitch’s most popular characters.  

Recently, Summit1g has launched a clothing line and partnered with big companies such as GFeul. 

Conclusion 

Twitch has become the hub for online gamers irrespective of the game’s genre, and this popularity can be majorly credited to its talented team of streamers. These streamers continue to produce engaging, attractive, and audience-based content that resonates with the viewers. 

Though there are many streamers present on the Twitch platform, these five streamers have created their own niche and loyal fan base due to their unique content and crowd interaction, which makes them a sought-after collaboration option for many people.
