Top 10 Twitch streamers who made it without a facecam Everyone knows you need a facecam to be successful on Twitch \u2013 or do you? We\u2019ve taken a look at some of the most popular channels on the platform like LIRIK and Dakotaz, who rarely, or never, show their face on stream, and how they\u2019ve made it big anyway. It\u2019s true that the majority of the biggest names on Twitch use a camera to show their face while they play, reacting to the game and to chat, many viewers find it much more entertaining when they can see the person, as well as the gameplay. But, it isn\u2019t absolutely necessary, as the following streamers prove. These ten streamers are some of the best known on Twitch, and some of them are completely mysterious. LIRIK 500Perhaps the streamer best known for not using a webcam and still being incredibly popular, Saqib Zahid, better known as \u2018LIRIK\u2018, is currently the 18th most followed channel, with 2.3 million in total. He\u2019s also pretty unique in that he isn\u2019t associated with any one game or even genre of games, and so viewers truly watch LIRIK for LIRIK, facecam or not. For a time, LIRIK was the biggest channel on the website for a solo streamer in terms of average viewership, and still pulls in over 20,000 concurrent viewers regularly, despite not showing his face on stream. There are a few photos of him around, but many of his fans might not even recognize him if they walked past him in the street. Dakotaz 500Dakotaz is the most followed Twitch streamer not to use a facecam, with 3.4 million, but like LIRIK, his appearance is not a total mystery. Primarily known now for his Fortnite streams, it\u2019s his skillful gameplay and entertaining commentary that keeps tens of thousands of viewers hooked, even without seeing his reactions on camera. HighDistortion 500Another massive name on Twitch, TSM member Jimmy \u2018HighDistortion\u2018 Moreno is best known as a top tier Fortnite player, first growing his channel playing PUBG. Like LIRIK and Dakotaz, his physical appearance is not a complete mystery, as there are a few photos around of him, but he keeps it low key on his streams \u2013 and has amassed 1.4 million followers in the process. Elded English speaking Twitch viewers may not be so familiar with Elded, who is one of the biggest Spanish streamers on the platform, with 1.2 million followers. Like the others so far, Elded has shown his face before, and has even shown it on stream, but the vast majority of his broadcasts are done with no facecam at all. Aimbotcalvin 500With almost 700,000 followers, Overwatch streamer Aimbotcalvin has never used a facecam, with his \u2018aim bot\u2019 like accuracy proving more than enough to pull in the viewers. He\u2019s so good, that he was even offered a spot on an Overwatch League team, but turned the opportunity down, in favor of streaming full time instead. Chap 500Like Dakotaz and HighDistortion, Ryan \u2018Chap\u2018 Chaplo is known for high level Fortnite gameplay, without the extra trimmings of a facecam. He\u2019s signed to Team Liquid as a pro player and streamer, and so he\u2019s no mystery, having competed at multiple Fortnite tournaments, but he still chooses to keep his streams strictly focused on the gameplay. Dizzy Professional Apex Legends player Dizzy is truly a mystery. Before Apex launched on February 4, Dizzy wasn\u2019t a big name on Twitch, but had been recognized as a skilled battle royale player. When Apex Legends launched, Dizzy quickly set the record for most kills in a single match (his record was later beaten) and went on to win tournaments with Ninja and KingRichard. Many now consider him the best Apex player in the world, and this has shot his channel up to over 400,000 followers, almost all of which in the month of February \u2013 and still no one knows what he looks like. Signed to NRG Esports, the team\u2019s owner said they have plans for the \u2018big reveal\u2019 soon. MrFreshAsian 500Like Chap, MrFreshAsian, real name Harley Campbell, is a professional Fortnite player, and so has been spotted at events and taken photos with fans. But he too avoids using a camera during his broadcasts, with his skill and commentary alone earning him over 400,000 followers. Dafran 500Another big name in Overwatch, Daniel \u2018dafran\u2018 Francesca was almost a complete mystery for much of his streaming career, until he joined Overwatch League team Atlanta Reign. He continues to stream without a facecam though, and his viewers certainly don\u2019t seem to mind. He\u2019s witty and very skilled at his game of choice, which is all you really need it seems. Wadu Last but not least, Wadu, or \u2018Wadu Hek\u2019, is one of the most mysterious streamers to make it big on the platform. Fast approaching 300,000 followers, not only is his face a mystery, but so is his real name. His popularity can in part be accredited to his time playing with Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek, the 2nd most followed streamer on all of Twitch, only behind Ninja. Wadu even titles many of his broadcasts \u2018Shroud waiting room\u2019, acknowledging where many of his fans first discovered him. Wadu has obviously been entertaining enough for them to stick around, and managing to do so without a facecam is even more impressive. There are many more popular streamers who have made it without a facecam too, with special mentions for channels like m0xxy and BikeMan, all of which are proof that you don\u2019t need a camera to be succseful. However, there\u2019s no denying that it can certainly be helpful for new streamers, and the vast majority of the biggest names do use a facecam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
