IEM Rio Major 2022 has caused a shakeup in the world of Twitch streaming, with Gaules dethroning xQc from the most-watched spot. Gaules is a professional Brazilian Twitch streamer who is known for his live broadcasts of the first-person shooter game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. While qXc is currently one of the most followed Twitch streamers and a former professional Overwatch player. He regularly streams a variety of games, including Overwatch, GTA 5, and Minecraft.
The Twitch community is always alive and well because of the continuous competition between streamers to get more watch time, followers, and donations than others. The top spot is anyone's for the taking at any given moment, which keeps streamers on their toes and always trying to improve their content. This competitive spirit is what drives the Twitch community and keeps it going strong.
In the latest turn of events, Brazilian Twitch streamer Gaules has surpassed all of his major competitors - including xQc, Kai Cenat, and Casimito - in terms of watch time as well as peak viewers. According to Twitch's November Stats, Gaules had nearly 21 million hours of watch time and 534,000 peak viewers. This is a remarkable achievement, and it cements Gaules' position as one of the top streamers in the world.
The IEM Rio Major 2022 was a huge factor in Gaules topping the Twitch charts for November 2022. The popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament was live-streamed by Gaules from Challenger's Stage all the way to the Grand Finale, and his large fan base tunes in whenever there's a major tournament going on. Consequently, his viewership sees a significant boost during these periods. For those who don't know, this is not the first time Gaules has achieved the top spot on Twitch's most-watched charts. He first accomplished this back in May 2022 with a total watch time of approximately 28.83 million hours thanks to the PGL Antwerp Major tournament.
Gaules' success is all the more impressive when one considers the competition he is up against. Currently, xQc has 11.4 million Twitch followers, which is more than twice the number of followers that Guales has. In a competitive landscape such as this, Gaules' success is a testament to his skill as a streamer and his ability to connect with his audience. Gaules might lose his most-watched Twitch stream spot to another streamer in the coming months, but there's no doubt that he's one of the best CS: GO streamers around.
