TimTheTatman Shatters Twitch Viewership Records with First Fall Guys Win
Yesterday, TimTheTatman reached new heights on Twitch, attracting nearly 350,000 viewers and averaging 182,574 as he finally emerged victorious in a game of Fall Guys after days of trying. It was his most-watched stream to date, surpassing his previous peak viewership.
The Entertainment of Tim’s Struggles
Despite the lighthearted nature of Mediatonic’s whimsical obstacle racing game, TimTheTatman’s inability to secure a win with its childish aesthetics proved to be captivating entertainment for Twitch viewers.
Raw Emotion and Staggering Numbers
While most viewers come to Twitch to watch gamers perform at a high level, Tim’s raw emotion and frustration drew people in. Over the past three days, Twitch chat and social media buzzed with people supporting him and, at times, attempting to grief him. The results were staggering.
Last night, Tim shared a screenshot of his stream’s statistics on Twitter. In addition to reaching peak and average viewer milestones, he surpassed one million unique viewers and gained 5,665 subscriptions.
The Journey to Victory
This momentous win came after 16 hours of playing Fall Guys on stream for TimTheTatman. Even though he played with 100 Thieves’ Nadeshot and came close to winning in the finals of several matches, he struggled with the game’s Hex-A-Gone mode and faced numerous clutch situations that ultimately led to his defeats.
From Frustration to Playful Sabotage
As Tim’s teammates, such as DrLupo and Ninja, joined his Discord channel to offer their support, his viewership quickly climbed to over 200,000. However, this surge in popularity also brought about waves of griefing from other players.
Tim had been jokingly complaining about players targeting him to prevent his victories, and it became increasingly apparent that some individuals were actually trying to stop him. To combat this, Tim and his teammates decided to all wear the same outfit, hoping to confuse their opponents. This strategy quickly caught on, with other players across all matches also wearing plain pink default skins. Nonetheless, Tim’s opponents still found him easily.
Teamwork and Redemption
By the end of the day, TimTheTatman needed the help of his teammates to secure his long-awaited win. In a final round of Hex-A-Gone, he put his previous mistakes behind him and emerged victorious.
A Solo Journey
Today, Tim announced that he will be playing Fall Guys again, but this time without queuing into matches with friends. While teaming up with friends can provide advantages, Tim’s goal is to prove that he can achieve victories on his own.
