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 for charity events, sports tournaments or video game competitions, some streamers have managed to unite a few million viewers without flinching too much. Let’s go back today to the Top 5 biggest streams of 2022 in terms of peak viewers.
5. EUM Final – KCORP VS LDLC – BO5
Karmine Corp wins its third European Masters title at the European Masters Spring Split 2022. The final reached a peak of 204,072 viewers for 5.1 hours of streaming on the OTP channel on May 7, 2022. Spring champion of the LFL in 2021, but also double spring champion of the European Masters and titled in the summer finals in 2021, Karmine Corp is clearly unleashing passions in France. Unfortunately we learned in October that the eSport structure will not go to the League of Legends European Championship this season. “No regrets just sorry to those who are disappointed, we are the first to be disappointed but it was not the right time for ussaid Kotei from his Twitter account, the other co-founder of Karmine Corp.
4.Z Event 2022
The Z Event is THE annual charity meeting followed for three days by thousands of regulars and each time greeted by the President of the Republic. As usual, dozens of French streamers were gathered in a room and launched calls for donations from their channel while chaining the activities. For this 2022 edition, we recorded a peak of 289,706 viewers for 11 hours of streaming on September 11 on the ZeratoR channel. For the first time, donations were donated to 5 different associations due to the controversies associated with the first organization chosen, Good Planet: Sea Shepherd France, League for the Protection of Birds, WWF France, Time for the planet and The SeaCleaners. In preview, a musical program inaugurated the event and brought in the streamer Little Big Whale accompanied by a handful of very popular artists: the musician and videographer PV Nova, the French electro duo French Fuse, the group of beatbox Berywam, the duo Big Flo and Oli and, finally, Soprano. A distinguished guest, Alain Chabat even came to host Question for a streamer in Burger Quiz version. A presence that allowed Etoiles to sign a peak of 207,898 viewers.
3. Pixel War
The Pixel War is a peak of 419,458 viewers on the very last day of the event for 14 hours of streaming on April 4, 2022. This event initiated on Reddit from a blank page invited participants to place a pixel and create canvases in a collaborative way. A social project that quickly turned into a peaceful confrontation between communities and countries. Squeezie, Hugo Decrypte, SEB, Inoxtag or even Zerator widely relayed and participated, although Kameto was undoubtedly the most invested of all. Faced with the Spaniards who have given up nothing, the French-speaking community has reproduced several figures from France, including Thomas Pesquet and our national Zizou. Finally, France and Germany finish far ahead of the other countries, with respectively 185,000 and 161,000 tiles placed. Co-founder and CEO of Karmine Corp, Kameto is also at the head of a star e-sport team in France which excels in particular in League of Legends and won the European champion in 2021. In 2022, the GQ magazine even awards the content creator the title of “man of the year.”
2.GP Explorer
Squeezie’s GP Explorer is a peak of 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 inaugurated a great Formula 4 race worthy of the greatest which invited 22 content creators appreciated by the French public. And after weeks of training, it was finally Sylvain Levy from the Vilbrequin chain who won it. The audience was worthy of a Formula 1 Grand Prix, and is even twice as strong as the Japanese Formula 1 Grand Prix broadcast on Canal+. The figures are globally staggering: 47% of visitors came to the Squeezie stream for the first time in a year, as the Formula 4 race has aroused the curiosity of the public. It will still have taken 2 years of preparation to develop this daunting competition, part of a simple donation goal of the ZEvent 2020. And then, 3 million euros were necessary for its organization following the green light from the French Federation Motor Sport about the feasibility of the project.

1. Match Eleven All Stars
Far ahead of the others, the Eleven All Star match organized by Amine signed a superb peak of 1,155,060 viewers for 4.6 hours of streaming on November 19, 2022. A handful of star streamers gathered for a crazy evening of football between France and Spain on the lawn of the Jean Bouin stadium. To our delight, it was the French-speaking youtubers and streamers who won the game with a score of 2 to 0. This is enough to motivate the Spaniards to do even better in the return match, which must take place in Spain this time, at an undetermined date. Obviously, if the technique was not necessarily there, it was the fervor of the teams and the enthusiasm of an entire streaming community that were in order. The event was even appreciated by professional players. Antoine Griezmann, in particular, spoke on Téléfoot to let go “Congratulations to the French streamers, it was magnificent”. On the Ligue 1 side, the Rennes stadium clubs as well as the TFC also congratulated the players on social networks. Even the official FIFA game account hailed the event. When will Amine and his team arrive in FIFA Ultimate Team?
