Meet the New King of Twitch: Kai Cenat
Kai Cenat has claimed the throne as the most subscribed streamer on Twitch, surpassing his closest competitor, Casimito. With an impressive peak of 104,772 active Twitch subscriptions, Cenat’s rise to the top has been nothing short of extraordinary. On the other hand, Casimito has experienced a steep decline in the overall standings, currently standing at just over 50,000 subscriptions.
A Meteoric Rise
Cenat’s journey to the number one spot has been nothing less than monumental. His campaign to become the most subscribed streamer propelled him from 70,000 subs to 100,000 in a remarkably short period. While his growth has slowed down slightly since hitting the 100,000 mark, he continues to maintain an impressive steadiness. Within ten days, he gained an additional 4,000 subscribers.
BOYZTOBER and Unexpected Success
Currently, Cenat is participating in BOYZTOBER, a group streaming event organized by popular black streamers on Twitch. Surprisingly, Cenat discovered his worldwide lead in subscriptions while hanging out with fellow streamers and rapper Ski Mask the Slump God. Interestingly, he wasn’t streaming himself when he claimed the top spot, and his reaction was captured on Bruce’s channel.
No Subathon? No Problem!
What sets Cenat apart from other streamers who experienced explosive growth is that he achieved his subscriber milestone without the use of a subathon. Many Twitch channels have relied on subathons to boost their numbers, but Cenat didn’t need any gimmicks. Despite that, he has secured a position in the top 10 for the most concurrent active subscriptions ever achieved on the platform.
Gunning for the Records
Although Cenat has shattered subscription records in recent months, he still has a long way to go to break the biggest records. Ludwig’s subscription record of 283,000 subs remains far beyond Cenat’s current subscriber count. Reaching that number without a subathon seems unlikely but given Cenat’s astounding growth on Twitch this year, it’s hard to bet against him.
