Who will win the German Twitch 2024? Racing is closer than it has been in years

earthpressnews

Who will have the most viewing hours on German Twitch in 2024? The race is closer this year than it has been in a long time. In 2022 and 2023, Elis “eliasn97” Nerlich clearly won the competition and easily became the most-watched streamer in Germany, but in 2024 it will be really close again. For the first time since 2022, there are signs of a change at the top.

Who will it be decided this year? In the last 365 days it looks like this (via sullygnome):

  • eliasn97 is ahead with 67.37 million hours watched. He has been at the top since the summer of 2022.
  • It is followed by Papaplatte with 65.37 million watched hours.

    • Last year, eliasn97 was almost 16 million hours ahead of Papaplatte, but he has caught up a lot. It can now even be seen on Pro7, although not understandable.

    The last time there was such a close race at the top of Twitch was in Germany in 2021: Back then, MontanaBlack won with a little less than 2 million hours ahead of Trymacs. In the summer of 2022, Berliner Elias Nerlich finally overtook MontanaBlack.

    Here we deal with the most relevant German streamers:

    Papaplatte grows by another 40% at a high level

    What’s so impressive about Papaplatte’s numbers? The streamer Papaplatte has had a huge resurgence in recent years after barely playing a role on Twitch in 2022 and losing 87% of his viewer hours because he streamed significantly less than in previous years:

  • In 2022, Papaplatte “only” had 3.8 million viewing hours and was in 48th place in Germany in the annual financial statements.
  • In 2023, his channel grew 11 times and reached second place.
  • In 2024, Papaplatte grew at a high level by another 40%, while eliasn97 was only able to increase viewer hours by 5%.

    • So it looks like eliasn97 can claim first place on German Twitch again in 2024, but Papaplatte could overtake him in 2025.

    By the way, the biggest streamer in Germany in 2024 is Honeypuu with around 5.4 million watched hours, ahead of Fibii with 3.5 million watched hours.

    Streamcharts numbers are slightly different than sullygnome numbers, which we usually use on MeinMMO.

    Internationally, KaiCenat is miles away

    How does German Twitch compare to other countries?

    Kai Cenat is extremely far away: with 188 million hours watched, the US streamer has almost three times as many viewers as the strongest German streamer. The market is huge there. KaiCenat was particularly impressive with events. At an extremely high level, it was able to increase by another 64% in 2024.

    The Spaniard Ibai is in second place worldwide and the leader in Europe, but has lost 11% of viewing hours compared to the previous year.

    Rising stars are streamers who are clearly connected to a game

    This year’s big risers are Rainbow Six Siege specialist Jynxzi, who is up 112% and is ranked 4th worldwide.

    And the LoL specialist Caedrel. The Brit has gained 217% and is in 6th place.

    German duo eliasn97 and Papaplatte are in 10th and 11th place, exactly one place ahead of Asmongold on its secondary channel.
