Shroud and Tfue dethroned as fastest growing Twitch streamers by shady channel L: FaZe Clan. R: Shroud.Popular Twitch streamers Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek and Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney were dethroned as the two highest growing channels for the month of April by a highly suspicious, new account. Shroud and Tfue are already two of the most successful channels on the livestreaming platforms, boasting thousands of paying subscribers and the ability to draw in huge audiences just to watch them duke it out with opponents in a battle royale game of some kind. That already-achieved success doesn\u2019t stop them from growing, however. Yet, sometimes channels will pop up and have a huge surge in popularity \u2013 making shroud and Tfue\u2019s channels look relatively normal compared to others. Another suspicious channel takes top spot That has, again, happened during the month of April as neither shroud nor Tfue have taken the top spot of the highest growing channel. That honor has, instead, been won by the now-banned channel of \u201801sh01\u2019. The 01sh01 channel appeared on April 9, streaming in the Casino section for just over ten minutes before going offline. In that time, they were able to rack up 569,067 followers \u2013 beating both Tfue and Shroud by over 200 and 300 thousand followers respectively. With the massive growth, it\u2019s clear that the account was botting fake followers in a bid to rise up the rankings and advertise their gambling website to a wide range of Twitch viewers. However, they ultimately failed in that quest. Will Twitch act on these accounts? This isn\u2019t the first time that this has happened, either.Fortnite Battle Royale streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins were pipped to the top spot by another casino channel \u2013 Slot_V. A similar account, Novat0r_Konb, popped in March to beat shroud to the top spot too \u2013 racking up an insane amount of followers, 485,000 to be exact, before being struck down by the banhammer. These channels, which are only used to advertise their gambling websites, don\u2019t hang around for too long as Twitch acts pretty swiftly and has them banned in a relatively quick manner. While the livestreaming platform would probably prefer that they don\u2019t pop up in the first place, it appears that whoever, or whatever, is behind them isn\u2019t going to stop anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
