I don't see why they're bigger than streamers who are actually good at the game like mtashed, Wish You Luck, tripleWRECK, Giggle Monstar, Gamesager, Realkraftyy or WaRbulletpoof. Can someone explain this to me? Why would you watch a streamer even though they're not that strong of a player?
[b]UPDATE[/b]: We even beat Goth 5-2. This proves my point.
-
Lmfao....he said Triplewreck is good... T-T dead af..
-
Because Broman drops the Grasp of Malok...... Oh wait, that's Bromnigul......
-
I have to admit, goth is just so much more entertaining than most other streamers. Even more so than probro because he's just fake and too enthusiastic lol
-
Bro man is funny in my mind haha that s why I watch him from time to time

As someone who works in entertainment (broadcasting) maybe I can help shed some light on this. When you work in entertainment (let's be honest, that's what Twitch is) it is very very important you actually want to be there. When I turn on my microphone I want to be there, I'm genuinely excited to talk to my audience and I make a conscious effort to smile when I speak. When you're genuinely enjoying what you're doing, you're going to be happy. When you're happy, people will tend to gravitate to you. Regardless of how you feel about their personalities or their gameplay, I can tell you that both Broman and Gothalion are really good at this.
-
Same reason why Bieber is bro, because there are some silly ass simple minds out there who require such a low level of quality for entertainment. No standards. I don't even know who the fvck you talking about btw.
-
Streaming isn't all about skill, they're entertainers at the end of the day. I guess having tenure and streamer friends helps too
-
I've never understood why people actually use their hard earned cash to pay people to play video games, not saying it's wrong, just that I don't understand it
-
The community they have. They are nice, they talk to chat and they aren't greedy -blam!-boys who ignore you when you're not a sub. It's not always about the game and skill of the player on twitch.
-
First to beat kf? But that's all I got
-
Their not, you nerds just love em
-
Casual peasants

Goth has talent. Broman is a weasel.

Edited by Erijian: 3/10/2016 9:33:42 AMBecause they didn't start with Destiny? They were speedrunners of games like Borderlands, so they started with a modest viewer count only to be pushed further up once Destiny came by, and now have gotten another boost with all of the Division hype. Besides all of that, they're entertaining to watch which is crucial to even starting off on Twitch.
-
They are entertaining to watch (at least to some people ) they are not pros, just reg guys you could hang out with while playing video games. I've noticed a lot of the big streamers are the kind that rely on being interesting to listen to rather than have the best gameplay. I think the person on destiny that has the best combination of good gameplay and just being the kind of guy you would want to sit down and have a beer with is kraftyy.
-
The biggest thing that makes a stream successful is the streamers ability to keep the audience entertained
-
I'll never understand why people like to watch other people play video games. This social media era we live in is disgusting and toxic.
-
Do you even need to ask this question? Since when has talent and skill ever eclipsed the flashy and talentless? How do you think Micheal bay keeps making movies and Taylor Swift keeps making number 1 hits?
-
Wish You Luck is gay, same with Giggle.
-
Personality. P.S. do you actually watch WishYouLuck? Most boring streamer on Destiny. Ugly person inside and out.
-
I like their voices they sound a hell of a lot better than NKuch
-
To me it has to do with personality rather than games skills. People like Wish You Luck are douchebags and shouldn't have any followers.
-
Because people like wish you luck and other pvp streamers do nothing but bitch and whine about the game. I find gothalions commentary and environment hilarious and enjoyable
-
Wish you luck is a douche
-
Not related but I have a question. why do they both change their voice and say "wammy!! And other shit like that? I cringe every time.

Edited by docalvaran: 3/10/2016 6:21:44 AMBecause majority of the 2nd batch of people you just said have too much ego and arrogance, yeah i watch them from time to time but i usually just watch how they play and muting so i don't have to listen to them. Yet for broman and goth i watch and listen because they are fun to watch and listen to. Would you rather watch someone who only talks about how godly he is? Or Someone who actually interacts with the chat and 9/10 positive attitude? Streaming was never who is the best. It's how you interact with your viewers that makes people want to watch you play more and chat with you. Positive attitude attracts people and negative doesn't. P.S. Don't include triple on the good players, he's just a pubstomper that's why he is not playing alot of pvp now since SBMM was implemented. Now maybe he can pubstomp again.
