Twitch has a new superstar streamer but you\u2019ve probably never heard of him Twitch: xCryIt\u2019s not often that a Twitch streamer will suddenly blow up out of nowhere these days, but there is a new rising star the platform, as Spanish streamer xCry has gained over a million new followers and multiplied his viewership tenfold \u2013 in a month. For English-speaking Twitch fans, Eduard \u2018xCry\u2019 Martinconi is probably not someone you\u2019re familiar with. A Spanish streamer, although is currently living in Mexico, has actually been streaming on Twitch since as early as 2016. It wasn\u2019t until 2020 when he cracked the 1,000 viewer mark, and he\u2019s hovered around a few thousand viewers ever since \u2013 that was, until October 2023. Rather suddenly, xCry\u2019s following and viewership has exploded, making him by far the fastest-growing channel on the platform, perhaps on his way to cracking the top 20 most-followed list. xCry blowing up on Twitch As of November 17, xCry now boasts over 2.7 million followers on Twitch, 1.1 million of which followed in the past 30 days. At first, you might assume these kinds of numbers are only possible through a followbot, but it certainly doesn\u2019t appear so. His viewership has similarly boomed to over 67,000 average, and his subscriber count is almost 40,000 (according to TwitchTracker), which are all signals that these are real fans following, watching and subscribing. He has thanked his fans for making him the top streamer of the month, writing, \u201cstreamer of the month and we are in the top most viewed streams on Twitch making halloween pumpkins.\u201d Who is xCry? More impressive still, xCry has managed this while predominantly streaming in the Just Chatting section, a notoriously difficult place to grow a stream, but also where much of the most viral content is on Twitch. Sometimes streamers can enjoy accelerated growth if they already boast a large YouTube following, and he does also have over 2 million YouTube subscribers. It\u2019s likely this growth has also been accelerated due to his presence on TikTok. Many of his videos go viral on the short-form video app, and this will send new fans over to his stream. This latest video has over 25 million views. Although, he hasn\u2019t posted on TikTok since late October, as his focus has clearly shifted towards growing his Twitch stream. Spanish news site Sensacine also explains, \u201cthere has also been a lot of talk about xCry in Mexico due to his friendship with a famous influencer Yeri Mua\u201d \u2013 as some fans want them to be a couple. If his current trajectory continues, he could be at 4 million followers before 2023 is over. The 20th most-followed streamer is currently NICKMERCS, at 6.7 million followers. xCry is also a big fan of Rubius, Twitch\u2019s 4th most-followed streamer, saying that he \u201cinspired\u201d him and helped him a lot. xCry is currently third for average viewership on Twitch, behind Nix and Kai Cenat, in the past 30 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
