Dakotaz explains why he\u2019ll be showing his face more on stream Elusive Fortnite star Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman gave a long-anticipated follow-up reveal of his face during his January 7 broadcast \u2013 and explained why this time, it could be here to stay. Dakotaz has over four million followers on Twitch \u2013 a feat not to be scoffed at, especially considering he\u2019s one of a handful of big streamers who can get away with no-cam broadcasts while still retaining huge view counts. Longtime fans will remember the streamer\u2019s brief facetime in 2018 after hitting one million subscribers, but many of his fans have since gone without an update \u2013 while some newer viewers had never laid eyes on the personality. But the streamer is \u201cevolving\u201d his channel in 2020, making it the perfect time to give subs, followers and lurkers alike a peek into the next stage of his streams. \u201cI\u2019m going to be chilling at the end of my streams,\u201d Dakotaz said. \u201cJust bringing something different to my stream. I\u2019m trying to evolve my stream, constantly. I just feel like my stream was kind of getting stale a bit\u2026\u201d Fans immediately poured into the channel as word started getting around that Dakotaz was happily streaming with a cam on. Over 8,000 people stuck around for Dakotaz while he was taking a slower, more chat-oriented approach to his content. The change of pace will usher in a more intimate segment during his regular broadcasts; his goal is to have a \u201chybrid\u201d structure, where one part is the no-cam gaming that fans know and love, while the other will be a facecam hangout with viewers, eventually dipping into IRL streams. \u201cI don\u2019t want to sit comfortably throughout life,\u201d he continued. \u201cI want to push [myself]. When I turned off my cam, it pushed me into another direction, and now I\u2019m just going to become a hybrid; when I play video games, I\u2019m going to use no-cam like always, but when I\u2019m just hanging out with you guys I just want you guys to see what I look like now.\u201d Growing one of the most successful Fortnite streams in all of Twitch, Dakotaz is looking to be more than just a voiceover streamer, instead pushing himself to expand his broadcasts. His no-cam approach to streaming was to help viewers become more immersed in the gameplay, helping his fans to \u201cfeel like [they\u2019re] there,\u201d according to his Feb 12 YouTube video. That won\u2019t change, as his glorious mug will only make an appearance after the gaming portion of his stream is all said and done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
