Top 5 PUBG Streamers Ever On the Internet.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” set the standard for battle royale
games upon its release in late 2017 and instantly became a success.
Known to most as PUBG, the game became the most-played video game in the
industry’s history, with nearly 2 billion players during its lifetime
and over $10 billion in revenue.
Along the way, there have been a lot of notable streamers playing PUBG, especially
when popularity peaked back in 2018.
Here are the five streamers that owe a lot of their success to
PUBG becoming a global phenomenon.
5.
Tecnosh.
Joseph ‘Technosh’ Touma started his streaming career by playing a wide
range of games that included “League of Legends”, “World of Warcraft” and
“Counter-Strike: Global Offensive”.
Whoever, since 2019, much of Tecnosh’s has been spent playing PUBG.
The Brazilian gamer ended up going professional in PUBG and joined the
Three and a Gado Men team in 2018.
He would finish as high as second place in international tournament play, doing so in
2018 at the Copa IGN Season 2 Group Stage.
Whenever Tecnosh is online, you can expect tens of thousands of people
to pop in and watch his streams.
4.
ChocoTaco.
Jake “ChocoTaco” Throop played PUBG as a hobby on the side while
working a full-time career early on.
Then, he began streaming his gameplay and his channel began
to take off almost immediately.
Between July 2017 and July 2018, ChocoTaco saw his average viewercount rise from
less than 40 to about 4,000 per stream.
This allowed ChocoTaco to focus on gaming full-time, and he reached peak popularity
in 2019 thanks to his PUBG streams.
Unlike Technosh, though, ChocoTaco does tend to mix up his games a little bit and plays
other shooters that include “Apex Legends”, “Valorant” and “Call of Duty Warzone”.
3.
Ninja.
Almost everyone knows Tyler Blevins as Ninja, the man who helped to put Fortnite
on the map and became the most popular streamer in the world as a result.
The Detroit native got his start in professional gaming by playing “Halo 3”,
which he followed up by playing “H1Z1”.
Then PUBG began increasing in popularity, Ninja made the jump over to the game
and became one of the best in the world.
Ninja even won the Gamescom Invitational 2017 and was on top of the PUBG world.
In sort of an experiment of a new game, Ninja tried out “Fortnite” and helped
increase his popularity to the next level.
Ninja would abandon almost all other games at that point, including
PUBG, but does come back from time to time to check out the community.
2.
Shroud.
Michael “Shroud” Grzesiak is known for being one of the best first-person shooter
players in all of video game history.
This includes games like “Counter-Strike” where he has won multiple
tournaments on the world stage.
After helping Cloud9 win the ESL Pro League, Shroud decided to step
away from professional gaming on a full-time basis so he could concentrate
on building a streaming community.
It ended up being the right move for Shroud as he instantly had a huge
follower base, with many of his streams being based around PUBG.
Shroud streamed the game for well over 2,500 hours before saying
that he was done spending a bulk of his streaming time on the game.
I am still a firm believer that this game could be the number
one game,” Shroud said of PUBG.
1.
Dr.
Disrespect You can’t tell the story of video game streams without talking
about Herschel Beahm IV, a.k.a.
Dr. Disrespect.
He launched his Twitch channel in 2011 portraying an exaggerated
version of himself, and at the time was streaming only a few times
here and there on “Call fo Duty”.
After working for Sledgehammer Games and Justin.tv (the precursor to
Twitch), Beahm decided to leave and focus on streaming full-time.
Thanks to his gameplay in battle royale genre, Dr.
Disrespect became one of the most followed on the Twitch platform prior to his ban.
He would join YouTube following the Twitch ban, and a bulk of his viewership numbers
have come from his days of playing PUBG.
Hopefully one day he to playing the game.
