Pestily overtakes Tfue, NICKMERCS in Twitch history books with huge 35-day subathon Twitch: PestilyAustralian streamer Pestily has made a major move in the Twitch history books, overtaking superstar names like Anomaly and NICKMERCS in the platform\u2019s all-time subscriptions, and dumping Tfue out of the platform\u2019s Top 10 entirely off the back of his ambitious 35-day subathon. Subathons are all the rage across Twitch right now \u2014 mainly sparked by Ludwig\u2019s historic 30-day effort back in April \u2014 and Aussie star Pestily was the latest to jump on the popular trend. It was a smash-hit for the three-time Escape from Tarkov world champion, who was bowling down Twitch records on his way to 35 consecutive days streaming on for his 972k followers. He reached the 35-day mark on August 4, chalking his name into the history books at NICKMERCS and Tfue\u2019s expense. The Tarkov star, 32, is now the seventh most subscribed Twitch streamer of all time, clearing 81,836 subscribers during the record run. That puts him way above several huge streamers, including Anomaly (70,420) and Tfue (69,586). Pestily had just woken up from an on-stream nap for the milestone on July 30, and was all smiles as his Twitch subscribers ticker rolled over to 80,845, more than 400 clear of NICKMERCS, who hit 80,402 last April. \u201cIt means a lot,\u201d the Australian said. \u201cI love all you guys.\u201d He also wrote on Twitter: \u201cWhat a ride! With 20 days to go! Let\u2019s see what random crap I can do from here. Thanks so much for this incredible experience!\u201d Pestily began his 35-day subathon at the start of July. At the time, he suggested he would only keep the non-stop stream going for a maximum of fifty days. While Pestily didn\u2019t quite make it to his original 50-day goal, the 35-day effort still etched his spot in the history books. The Twitch star was live for over 8,400 consecutive hours. On July 26 he appeared live in a cosplay of Dr Phil \u2014 one of his many subathon stretch goals. After hitting day 10 he fulfilled his first promise, to \u201ctrain for and run a marathon\u201d. Hitting Day 20 meant he had to film an IRL stream at a degustation restaurant, and now he\u2019s clocked up thirty days he has to \u201ctake chat on a race car hot lap.\u201d If he were to reach Day 40, the stakes would have been upped once against as Pestily pledged to complete a triathlon. Upon hitting his 30-day milestone, the Twitch star said: \u201cThis is f**king nuts. In the last 30 days I\u2019ve streamed 720 hours. How many gigabytes you reckon that is?\u201d 5 weeks ago I went live and now it ends! Thanks so much everyone for the support it has been incredible! #1 active subs on twitch, #7 all time subs! Gave away 22 computers and had an absolute blast of a stream! So many memories! Mr. Dr. Pestily signing off! \u2014 Pestily (@Pestily) August 4, 2021 The Australian also disabled his on-stream Twitch overlay after hitting seventh. According to Pestily, the subathon had \u201calready been awesome\u201d that he didn\u2019t want to keep setting targets. He said: \u201cWe don\u2019t need to force anything.\u201d Pestily\u2019s subathon came to an end midway through Wednesday, August 4, a little under fifteen days early. Although there was still plenty of time left on the star\u2019s subathon counter, the Aussie revealed he, unfortunately, \u201chad to end things early\u201d due to something in his personal life. \u201cI\u2019m sure the moderators are happy it\u2019s over,\u201d the Twith star joked as his subathon\u2019s 35th day came to a close. \u201cIt\u2019s been a journey\u2026 it\u2019s been fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
