Battle Royale games have a certain level of difficulty. Large Twitch streamers have additional problems live. This was also noticed by 2 leading gaming streamers who just wanted to win a round of Fortnite.
Which streamers are we talking about? iShowSpeed and Kai Cenat are among the biggest streamers in the world. On Twitch, for example, Kai Cenat had the highest watch time in December 2024 (via twitchtracker.com). In addition to dangerous stunts, both also like to stream video games.
For a big collaboration event between the two, they have decided to win a match in Fortnite in OG Ranked mode as a duo. But that turned out to be more difficult than you might think. They’re both just too popular.

Someone always finds them
Where is the problem? The event of the two was of course streamed on their respective YouTube and Twitch channels. Viewers were able to watch all the matches in a stream lasting over 20 hours.
The problem that all big streamers probably know: stream snipers. The many viewers then try to get into a match with the two streamers – and through the live stream they can easily find out where the streamers are currently located.
According to Dexerto, the two together attracted over 200,000 viewers. With these numbers, you can assume that there was hardly a match in which no one tried to specifically hunt them down.
Did they still make it? They once won with the help of a stream sniper after losing 79 matches, but Kai Cenat didn’t want that to count. After a short discussion, the two started playing again (via x.com).
According to their own rules, they probably haven’t won so far, they want a fair win without help. In another clip on x.com, the two are seen losing a 2-on-1 at the end of a round. According to the counter in the clip, they’ve lost 160 times at this point.
They are currently at 172 lost matches (as of December 30, 2024, 11:30 a.m. via Twitch).
How likely is a win? Theoretically, anything is possible, but due to their imposed rules and the constant threat of stream snipers, it seems to be quite a difficult undertaking. But Kai Cenat himself is pretty stubborn. You could also see this in his Elden Ring streams: Twitch streamer Kai Cenat ends Elden Ring like many before him – but makes it the gaming event of the year
