news culture Amine, Squeezie, Kameto, ZeratoR: Who Made the Most Simultaneous Views on Twitch in 2022?
This year, and probably more than ever, the French twitch shone around the world. Whether it’s for charity events, sports tournaments, or video game competitions, some streamers have managed to garner a few million viewers without batting an eyelid too much. Today, let’s return to the top 5 biggest streams of 2022 in terms of peak viewership.
5. EUM Finals – KCORP VS LDLC – BO5
Karmine Corp wins its third European Masters title at the 2022 European Masters Spring Split. The finale peaked at 204,072 viewers for 5.1 hours of streaming on the OTP channel on May 7, 2022. As the 2021 LFL Spring Champion, but also a two-time European Masters Spring Champion and 2021 Summer Finals champion, Karmine Corp is clearly unleashing passion in France. Unfortunately, in October we learned that the eSports structure will not go to the League of Legends European Championship this season. “No regrets just apologies for those who are disappointed, we are the first to be disappointed but it wasn’t the right time for ussaid Kotei from his Twitter account, the other co-founder of Karmine Corp.
4th Z Event 2022
The Z Event is THE annual charity gathering followed for three days by thousands of regulars, each time welcomed by the President of the Republic. As usual, dozens of French streamers gathered in one room and launched fundraisers from their channel while chaining activities. For this 2022 edition, we recorded a peak of 289,706 viewers for 11 hours of streaming on September 11th on the ZeratoR channel. For the first time, due to the controversy surrounding the first organization selected, Good Planet, donations were made to 5 different associations: Sea Shepherd France, League for the Protection of Birds, WWF France, Time for the Planet and The SeaCleaners. In preview, a musical program opened the event and brought streamer Little Big Whale, accompanied by a handful of very popular artists: musician and videographer PV Nova, French electro duo French Fuse, beatbox group Berywam, duo Big Flo and Oli and finally soprano. Alain Chabat, a distinguished guest, even came to host Question for a streamer in the burger quiz version. A presence that allowed Etoiles to reach a peak of 207,898 viewers.
3. Pixel War
The Pixel War peaked at 419,458 viewers on the very last day of the event for 14 hours of streaming on April 4, 2022. Initiated on Reddit from a blank page, this event invited attendees to drop a pixel and create canvases together. A social project that quickly turned into a peaceful confrontation between communities and countries. Squeezie, Hugo Decrypte, SEB, Inoxtag or even Zerator shared and participated a lot, although Kameto was undoubtedly the most invested. Faced with the Spaniards who have not given up anything, the French-speaking community has reproduced several personalities from France, including Thomas Pesquet and our international Zizou. Finally, France and Germany land far ahead of the other countries with 185,000 and 161,000 placed tiles respectively. Kameto, co-founder and CEO of Karmine Corp, is also at the helm of a star esports team in France, particularly excelling in League of Legends and winning the 2021 European Champion. In 2022, GQ magazine even awards the content creators of the title “Man of the Year”.
2. GP Explorer
Squeezie’s GP Explorer peaked at 1,041,828 viewers for 10.3 hours of streaming on October 8, 2022. Reminder of the content of the event: the content creator Squeezie opened a great Formula 4 race worthy of the greatest and to which 22 content creators appreciated by the French public were invited. And finally, after weeks of training, it was Sylvain Levy of the Vilbrequin chain who won it. The audience was worthy of a Formula 1 Grand Prix and even doubled the size of the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Japan broadcast on Canal+. The numbers are staggering globally, with 47% of visitors joining the Squeezie stream for the first time in a year as the Formula 4 race piqued public curiosity. It will have taken 2 more years of preparation to come up with this daunting competition that is part of a simple ZEvent 2020 fundraising goal. And then 3 million dollars were required for its organization after the French motorsport federation gave the green light to the feasibility of the project.

1. Match Eleven All Stars
Far ahead of the rest, the Eleven All Star match organized by Amine on November 19, 2022 recorded an excellent peak of 1,155,060 viewers for 4.6 hours of streaming. A handful of star streamers gathered on the lawn of the Jean Bouin Stadium for a mad night of football between France and Europe. To our delight, it was the French-speaking youtubers and streamers who won the game 2-0. That’s enough to motivate the Spaniards to do even better in the second leg, which has to take place in Europe this time. at an indefinite time. Obviously, when the tech wasn’t there, it was the eagerness of the teams and the enthusiasm of an entire streaming community that were in order. The event was appreciated even by professional players. Antoine Griezmann in particular spoke out in favor of saying goodbye to Téléfoot “Congratulations to the French streamers, it was great”. On the Ligue 1 side, the clubs at Rennes Stadium and TFC also congratulated the players on social media. Even the official FIFA game account welcomed the event. When will Amine and his team arrive in FIFA Ultimate Team?
