Call of Duty: Warzone has been an unexpectedly huge hit for Activision, even as mainline Call of Duty games change developers and come with a different feel, support for Warzone continues. Entering into the crowded battle royale genre comes with risks, but the power of the Call of Duty brand has shot the game up to the top tier of BR games and Warzone is regularly one of the most watched games on Twitch on any given day. As such, there is no shortage of streamers for Twitch viewers to watch, but with only so many hours in the day, making a decision on who to follow and where to tune in a difficult one.
Streamers in Warzone can have a huge influence over how the player base at large plays the game.

When Nickmercs says that the MK9 Bruen is back, it leads to a number of players running with that for the next few days. This list features a few streamers Warzone fans may be less familiar with, the ones who don't always generate news stories.
