A German is the world’s biggest LoL streamer on Twitch – and he’s so fed up

In the last 365 days, no one on Twitch had more viewers of League of Legends than the German Frederik “NoWay” Hinteregger (31). In the new season of LoL he was even in second place in Europe, but now LoL is really getting to him.

How successful is NoWay at LoL? If you look at the last 365 days, NoWay is actually the world’s most successful LoL Twtich streamer. This is mainly because he is on the air much more than any comparably large streamer:

  • NoWay streamed 3,137 hours of LoL, with an average of 12,224 viewers and 38.35 million hours of viewer time
  • In second place is the 29-year-old Brazilian Baiano, who has more viewers but only streamed half as often as NoWay. He has 31.7 million viewing hours.
  • In third place comes US rager Tyler1, who streamed much less in 2023 than in previous years. It “only” collected 25.3 million viewer hours.

    The LoL season started great and then things went south

    How are things going for NoWay? The current LoL season actually got off to an ideal start for the German Twitch streamer, and he climbed to second place in Europe.

    At the start of the season on January 10th. In 2024, NoWay won its first 6 games in a row and was able to build on another winning streak of 6 in a row: after 14 games, it was 12:2.

    But at the moment that seems to be a long way off: NoWay is plagued by “losing streaks”.

    The 31-year-old picked up two big “minus days”:

  • On Sunday January 14th he lost 7 games in a row
  • Things looked similarly bad on Monday and Tuesday: 4 and 5 games in a row were lost. It just doesn’t work
  • “Disgusting backseat gaming”

    What is his reaction? In a current video on YouTube you can see how much the situation is affecting NoWay. This is his worst start to the season ever, he explains.

    And the whole time he has to listen to his chat about how bad he’s playing.

    This “backseat” gaming is simply disgusting. People told him that he had to play champion

    “Backseat” gaming describes the bad behavior when “know-it-alls” watch you play and give clever tips on how you could actually do it better.

    NoWay repeatedly emphasizes that although he has a thick skin, he is slowly getting tired of it. He wonders where all the people in the chat come from who immediately flame him with their first comment:

    “I sit here for you for 10 hours every day and you insult me ​​the whole time every time a game goes wrong. How can you be like that?”

    The good news is: He has won 5 of his last 6 games in a row. It’s going up.

    NoWay is a friend of clear words:
