One of the games with the most players all around the globe is Fortnite. It boasts one of the most competitive settings, both in terms of casual play and eSports, and it is completely free to play on any gaming device that has ever been created by humanity. Since its release in 2017, there have been very few other games that have been able to break through into the awareness of gamers all across the world in the same way that Fortnite has.
When all of this is considered, the fact that a fair number of Twitch broadcasters have launched their careers on Fortnite is not surprising at all. Since the very beginning, Twitch and Fortnite have been inextricably linked to one another. Despite the fact that many streamers have transitioned to other platforms like as YouTube, Twitch continues to be the platform of choice for some of the most well-known broadcasters online. The following players are currently dominating Fortnite on Twitch.
- Bugha
In 2019, at age 16, Bugha won the Fortnite World Cup. After he won the $3 million, he stopped playing professionally and started focusing on expanding his Twitch audience instead. Bugha’s broadcasts attract a huge audience because players value hearing from someone who has reached the pinnacle of professional Fortnite play in order to improve their own game. Commentary like his can only come from a player with his level of expertise in the game.
- NickEh30
In order to distinguish his Twitch brand, Nicholas Amyoony went in a somewhat different direction. Although he is one of the best Fortnite players in the world, NickEh30 also hosts informative, family-friendly streaming. Toxic environments exist on Twitch, therefore it’s great that there’s a channel parents and guardians can feel safe bringing their kids to. NickEh30 has shown that there is an audience for family-friendly programming on Twitch, which is now being considered. While there is no shortage of streamers aimed at a younger demographic, NickEh30 stands out for catering to a demographic that is underserved on Twitch and making their content enjoyable for viewers of all ages.
- Ninja
Tyler Blevins, best known by his gaming alias Ninja, originally gained notoriety in the competitive Halo 3 arena. Since he started streaming, his viewership has skyrocketed since he is one of the first streams to specialize on Fortnite. The Fortnite teams that Ninja played in alongside Drake, Travis Scott, and JuJu Smith-Schuster in 2018 attracted a record number of viewers to Ninja’s Twitch channel.
After making waves on Twitch in late 2019, Ninja jumped ship to Microsoft’s rival streaming platform Mixer for a short while before returning to Twitch after Mixer was shut down in 2020. Returning to the service that made him famous, Ninja’s Twitch channel quickly attracted the most subscribers. Considering how intrinsically linked Ninja’s success has been to Fortnite’s meteoric growth, one would reasonably speculate that the latter may not have been as popular as it is today had it not been for Ninja. Ninja has becoming more popular with Fortnite. In this partnership, both parties get something.
- SypherPK
Originally known as Ali Hassan, SypherPK built a modest fanbase while competing in Overwatch and For Honor before rebranding. He became famous for sharing his knowledge of Fortnite strategies and so empowering players of all skill levels. One of the most watched series on Twitch is his “How to Win” series. Despite not being as well-known as Ninja, SypherPK has remained one of the most popular Fortnite broadcasters on Twitch because to his exceptional skills and expertise.
