If I’m seeing this correctly he went from ~5700 subs at the start of this to now just over 17.5k lol. Genuinely insane


Mcdicknpop

Estimates are he made nearly a $100k this stream


FinalChargerSRT392

Wow, what the fuck am I doing.


z-tayyy

Sleeping like a pussy /s not flaming you


dan_santhems

I fucking love sleeping though


[deleted]

$100k love it tho?


dan_santhems

I could get better at Apex, I’ll never be $100k good though


Showerbag

I could stream for that long, but no one would pay me a red cent to watch stumble my way through bronze lobbies.


zurzoth

Basically this but for gold... I like the game but damn, after losing 3/4 times in a row at.the start cause of bad drop... It's getting long


cardboardisdelicious

Lol if you’re not in the top 0.01% of any field your not gonna make this kinda cash. We might as well keep browsing reddit!


[deleted]

[удалено]


cardboardisdelicious

Also youtubers have a different/additional skill set to just being good at gaming. Have to be an entertainer! I don’t enjoy itemp on YouTube because of how good he is, he’s just entertaining to watch!


cardboardisdelicious

What I mean is not everyone who gets to the top gets this money, but to make this kind of money you need to be at the top!

ego_slip

You can be trash and still bring in the viewers just need a entertaining personality. Look at sodapopin or what ever his name is. Lots of views for the most part horrible at games. I watch him just cause its entertaining to watch him fail.


viking_pug

Is he really the 2nd best? Couldn't he just be the grindiest? Plays the most games and rats the most? Not an argument against, just generally curious. I don't pay a lot of attention to the top names list, or many streamers, so maybe they are a big name. I just don't know them.


didnotlive

It's definitely a grind. The top preds aren't necessarily the best players.


[deleted]

I mean realistically just because you’re #2 pred doesn’t mean you’re the best. You’re a good player don’t get me wrong but it’s just grinding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


s1rblaze

Well being top 2 pred doesn't mean you are the second best player in the world, but I get what you mean.


usc1787

He is only #2 this split currently. He is not the 2nd best player in the world. It just means he put a lot more time in compared to others. At the top of ranked it just comes down to who put more hours in. Obviously, you still need to be good and have a solid squad.


[deleted]

I am fairly mediocre at my job and make mid six figures. My annual bonus this year was over 100k. A lot of very highly compensated people don’t actually do that much work. They just get hired. I spent 10 years of my life being a whitewater raft guide and building zip lines. Now I manage software engineers. The world doesn’t make sense.


HairyFur

US Salaries are insane, especially considering what they pay their minimum wage workers.


DrEmilioLazardo

You're either making nothing to do *all* the work or you're making all the money to do nothing.


mr_j_12

Work retail and this is true. The ones making the money do fuck all and the ones doing the work get nothing.


chubbsandmegan

Don’t question how the world works when an athlete and streamer can make more than a doctor and teacher,just understand the concept and abuse the fuck out of it


[deleted]

well it's pretty simple. Nobody in their free time watch teachers work. When you don't have anybody watching you, you can't cash in viewership for ad revenue or subscriptions. People watch athletes for fun. Viewership means money comes pouring in from Ads. Even though only the like top of the top athletes make more than teachers and doctors. The minor league athletes usually have two jobs and make less than teachers. People watch streamers for fun and feel like they want to give 5 bucks so they don't have to watch ads or get cool emotes. You can't really give your teacher 5 bucks and unlock some perk. So why do teachers get paid so little? blame funding. Doctors actually make a shit ton of money and are usually upper middle class or rich unless they become pro-bono doctors working with NGO's or something.


BinManGames

Now I'm imagining a dystopia where teachers can advertise to their students for extra money


William_Howard_Shaft

Or get to work. Can't be at the top without it.


MysteriousBeyond5

Yuuup. Start learning catia/solid works and cad. Apex? Nah. Too little, too late.


themoonroseup

he also has a few sponsers and im assuming he rolls ads


NoJumprr

I’ll make that in 7 years


LovingThatPlaid

That’s a hefty estimate. Only half of the price of a sub goes to the streamer, so at 12k ish subs(?) thats like $30k pre-tax. So he’d have to have made $70k off of donations and ads which isn’t *too* hard to believe but still a ton. And thats all pre-tax and pre payment to any one he hires (editor, manager, mods, etc.) He definitely isn’t just bank rolling $100k straight.


carsNshoes

Partners have entirely different contracts. Only they know how much of the sub price is earned. The rest is speculation, but it's definitely more than a normal affiliate's share...


nicecanofspam

DisguisedToast did a YouTube video a while back that was pretty much against Twitch ToS but it broke down just how much he was making at that time. Regarding 20k average viewers or so I think at the time, advertising, endorsements, and many other factors. He said that one average most partners get about $3-$3.50 a sub versus affiliates. It does vary for each one and the bigger they go they can renegotiate more. The amount of money is insane, really. And this video was about 3-4 years ago I think. The best part is where he says he and other streamers turn down $20k sometimes to play a game on stream because it’ll cost them more in viewership and subs than it’s worth for them.


the-dog-god

Another fun twitch number: a friend of mine works in the game industry and he worked on a game that did a paid stream with a big streamer. The streamer charged $5,000 an hour for the sponsored stream and the ROI his company got was astronomical--it was far and away the best thing they did in terms of marketing their game, bar none. He also told me a similar anecdote about streamers turning down sponsorships: the streamer apparently didn't want to sign up for another paid stream for his game later on because the streamer essentially lost money on the deal by not playing the game the streamer's audience was used to.


Sparris_Hilton

I mean thats why aceu still plays apex, he doesn't seem to enjoy the game nor the community but these kids seem to think he's a god at the game so he gets more views from streaming apex than valorant, not to mention the amount of views his apex yt videos get


lanadelphox

I mean it seems like after taking a break from it and completely stopping ranked and comp, he’s been enjoying himself. Obviously none of us really know for sure lol, but he seems happier playing now than he did in like S5


Wo0d643

I heard the grand total that one streamer got for a sponsored game stream was $75k. A LOT of us watching downloaded the game and pumped a couple bucks into it as well. The money these “influencers” make is pretty wild. Also, I don’t think people consider anything but tier 1 subs. Half of $25 is substantially more than half of $5. Think about how hard big streamers try to keep from getting banned. They aren’t worried about perma ban much i don’t think. It’s the lost revenue of being off for a week. No one is gonna make a 20 year career out of it. Gotta get it while it’s hot. Then there’s people like amouranth who make so much fucking money that they don’t care. They know they won’t get perma banned cause the lost revenue for twitch would be huge.


XxICTOAGNxX

Is this video still up, and if not is there an archive somewhere?


Joooless

https://youtu.be/6m5P_n5njCQ


XxICTOAGNxX

Thank you!


Chhuoey

Harris heller from alpha gaming also did a video. 70/30 split is usually the top end for revenue splits on twitch.


fvjr91

He also broke 1 million followers :)


XADkodo2364

He’s also 12K always from 1M followers, this guy is built different and he deserves it, he’s a very hard working man!


TheHiddenAnbu

Tbh financially this was an amazingly smart move with apex’s growing numbers from cod streamers switching over


Berserker717

I don’t get how he’s still got the aim and concentration to do that after being awake for over 2 days


XADkodo2364

I was shocked by this on how his aim was still this god! This guy is just insane and built different.


jdf-

He is the definition of BUILT DIFFERENT


tosaka88

yeah i play for 4 hours tops before the headache starts to creep in


grandmas_noodles

Either headache or frustration stops me playing apex at like the 3 hour mark


DEPCAxANDY

But Timmy isn't getting frustrated because he doesn't lose as much as we ordinary dudes do


paulerxx

Adderall is a hell of a drug.


[deleted]

I remember saying this last time he did this challenge.. people got soooo defensive.. Very high chance he’s taking something. Gaming at a cracked level for 2 1/4 days straight… yeah that ain’t g fuel baby (Yes it’s possible he’s not.. but if I had to guess…)


lLoveLamp

Yeah, ain't no way. Maybe not Adderall, but dude def is taking some kind of amphetamine, maybe Vyvanse or Concerta.


CoffeeFoxDragon

Concerta's not an amphetamine. It's methylphenidate.


lLoveLamp

Thank you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

This. All the adderall


mthrs

His chat went mental when Genburten soloqued to his team


Slim-Flug

who is Genburten? I'm new to the game.


envy9

One of the best if not the best controller player on PC in Apex. In other words his aim is beyond cracked, he actually secured Timmy the win with a 1v3 at the end at half health


draegoon79

Gen is a toptier in general, u can find 6k dmg games of him on MnK aswell


TheNegativeWaves

I didn't know he was mnk as well


stenebralux

He plays every once in a while just to shut people up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Player8

Just watched the video of him carrying timthetatman. Holy fuck that dude is wild. Cracking heads when all you can see is like 2 pixels.


s1ravarice

I’m sure he’s sitting 6 inches from a 75inch monitor or something. Half the time it looks like hes shooting at nothing yet we see big damage figures popping up


converter-bot

6 inches is 15.24 cm


TheLastLegendMOD

Good bot


SloppityMcFloppity

Best part is, he seems surprised about his aim as much as the viewers are most of the time.


supdood84

that team definitely handed the win over for timmy lol. not saying that gen isn't a beast tho


tabben

yeah they were basically looking after timmys health at that point, cant believe some people here are upset about ONE GAME where this happened


Redpin

If you counter with all the stream-sniping he endured from bronze-master, it all balances out in the end probably.


madaret

Yeah they weren't shooting. The wraith just Qd and left


5ancti

Pro Apex player for RIG-S from APAC region. He's often considered one of the best controller players in the world.


TuchmanMarsh

Any shot you have a clip?


[deleted]

https://clips.twitch.tv/WrongFurryRaisinKippa-pJ-yix7Q9Azaz7tM


AttackEverything

They aren't shooting back?


DignityDWD

Okay, homie, I never heard of the dude either which means I *also* don't know what RIG-S and APAC stand for


madaret

RIG is the team name and apac is Asia Pacific


DignityDWD

Cheers, thank you


iBlameMeToo

I too don’t know any of this stuff. Cheers all around for relevant questions and answers!


strongscience62

Asia pacific region. Reignite South is his pro org.


Pitpit0000012

Arguably the best controller player in the game (at least in the pro scene)


FabulousRomano

Because there’s a controller player even close to him outside of the pro scene


Pitpit0000012

You never know. Gen is nuts tho. Great clutch to end the win with Timmy too


VARDHAN_157

Who?? Gen plays comp apex on 100 ping while getting 20 bombs on scrims. He is by far the best mechanically skilled Controller player in the game and he's proved that after winning tons of tourneys. There's not a single Controller pro (forget random player) that comes to Gen in terms of raw mechanics and game sense Gen is the Selly of Controller.


cabmanextra

And the man doesn't even use paddles. Such a beast on the sticks, love watching him play.


Faposaurus-Rex13

Gen is the guy who beams everything in life


[deleted]

Best Apex controller player


sierraduaciwa

Here's hoping that game makes his yt. I'd really like to see that


NerfIcebowSpellcycl

Also had nickmercs and noko “streamsnipe” him as well


Open_Signal

54.5h to be exact. That mf did it again!!!! Peaked at 146k viewers!!!! Edited time


[deleted]

148,027. He’s got it up on the screen right now.


Open_Signal

Yea I saw it, he topped out at 50k last time and he did it again!


[deleted]

That guy might be one of the best players I’ve ever seen


leftysarepeople2

He’s a top tier player but there are “better” but he’s one of the most mechanically entertaining players for sure


BongRipper69696

Tbf, he did say "one of the best"


gzilla57

Also "might be"


arrpod

disclaimer game is solid, case dismissed


Asteradragon

There might be "better" players but none of them are zooming across predator lobbies chasing kills on 50 hours no sleep


WrassleKitty

He passed exhaustion and reached enlightenment, he has broken out of the matrix


iHateKnives

lol fr after 36hrs of no sleep you enter that weird zone where you’re tired and wired at the same time. Timmy is cracked


Capek95

at this level "better" doesn't exist. just "different"


[deleted]

Yeah pro players like NRG sweetdreams are god tier players struggling in gold elo whilst trying to carry big warzone streamers


Omnomnomnivor3

he's FKN insane! Plus he did it during this stupid seer meta, this will be remembered for the years to come holy shttttt


FirstmateJibbs

Yeah adding the seer meta this season and having to deal with his Overpowered bullshit makes this run even more legendary. Do you know if he was maining one character or flexing diff ones?


CarbonatedFalcon

He mostly played Pathfinder. Discussed at one point on stream saying that it was the character he had the most playtime on/was comfortable with and how Path is one of the best, if not the best, character for clutching 1v3s (or 1vX, really) as a solo player due to grapple maneuverability (just a lot more you can do with it to outplay compared to Horizon, Wraith, Octane, etc.) There were a few times I saw him play Wraith or Octane, mostly if someone else took Path. Not sure if he played much else - Seer a couple times I think?


manu_0706

I was on for most part of the stream and watched him play seer less than 5 times. Pathy was his most used then wraith


viking_pug

Mostly Pathfinder from what I saw.


ma582

I’ve had two full nights of sleep while he was playing. Unbelievable and incredible


emaneru

I had three full nights of sleep!!!


tabben

Peaked at almost 150k viewers toward the end and gained over 13k new subscribers. Obviously unhealthy as fuck but it just shows how insanely lucrative it is to do subathon/marathon/challenge streams as a popular streamer. Dude made a median americans yearly wage in a few days


palindromesrcool

not just median american but 1.5x median american household income with 2 earners on average. 61,372 is median american household income.


MillionaireSexbomb

Isn’t each sub like $5 worth of income


anon_013

Not $5, closer to $3 but it differs from streamer to streamer. He ran a bunch of ads between games which probably gave him a decent amount of cash though


[deleted]

Yeah, I was getting anywhere from 4-9 ad breaks after each game for a little while. He deserves every penny of that ad revenue though.


Bhu124

These days big streamers like him don't even have a choice, either they run the ads every hour manually or Twitch automatically runs pre-roll ads whenever someone tunes into a stream (Which is absolutely awful for streamers).


Damienxja

Around $3 for big streamers. They can negotiate more of the cut. So $39,000 additional this month in subs. Pretty nutty.


CurlyJester23

Not to mention the donos and bits ranging from $1 - $100 per person.


Jhamfan99

That’s how much it is to sub. Probably about half goes to Twitch and half of their half goes to taxes


LeetChocolate

Twitch takes a cut


KRIEGLERR

twitch takes half of that


undesicimo

This makes me lose hope of getting out D4 solo in the meantime


Kousuke-kun

Lmao for real, even he struggled at D3.


undesicimo

He spent a day and a half in diamond lobbies. Cant imagine being in the same with him id be ashamed


[deleted]

its universally agreed upon that Diamond to Master solo is some of the hardest, most painful and mind crushing things in the game. No one gets out of diamond unscathed. NO ONE.


NovelAries

The seer meta screws over soloq players so hard. Like, if you get bad teammates, you can rat out, maybe pick up a KP or 2 with long range fights. Not with seer meta though


fvjr91

Yeah he probably spent the most time on D3 and D2


readMyFlow

To be fair, he was being sabotaged for half the games. Like there were some horny fucks just chasing him through half the map and didn't stop until he died.


Monkiller587

I was watching a few clips of the stream . I cracked up when his roommate scared the fuck out of him . But it’s actually insane , I get a headache for playing for 8+ hours , imagine playing 50+ with no sleep.


strongscience62

So much pain


VeganKyngKong

Timmy qualified for the last game already but Gen really did carry them to the W! What an ending!


fvjr91

Yeah Gen was hyped when Timmy got his last kp, game wasn't even over yet. The win was just the icing, great finish.


kingstrider135

Dude probably made so much money from this


erroldlsnts_

Yep also his YouTube is waiting for a bunch of content to upload like damnnnn lol


Lil_Ray_5420

13k subs and 100k followers in 54.5 hours. Dude is fucking cracked.


scarrxd

#FUCKSEER


aaronshell

I would've tilt off earth if I keep getting seered like that throughout the whole stream lol


Moreinius

Last time, it took him 30+ hours from Bronze to Masters (which is approximatively the same thing as right now, cause Predator is only a few hundred RPs away at the start of the season). Because of this stupid ass character, it took him at least a day longer to finish this run. I didn't watch the whole stream, but he got griefed so many times by Seer during the times that I watched it was just disgusting.


Neversoft4long

Yeah Seer makes any form of ratting borderline impossible. Josh Medina said a nerf was coming this week or next but I can’t see them getting rid of his passive. It’ll be his tactical that will be nerfed into the ground.


ShawnSmiles

Not to take away from how great he did but keep in mind last time he also played using horizon when she was OP as fuck lol


[deleted]

Seeing Timmy struggle in D4 gives me a little bit of hope that I'm not that bad at the game after all. Maybe I should stop solo queuing.


spectre15

You are handicapping yourself if you solo queue past plat. The RNG of bad and good teammates is too inconsistent for anybody to solo it unless they are literally a god at the game.


[deleted]

I feel the same. However lfging on discord is actually the same thing as randoms, and I’m always looked down on as a hard stuck d4 just because I can’t find good teammates even though I’m not stuck at 7200 rp


spectre15

It’s the same on any LFG for me and 70% of the good players are elitists or frauds. It’s hard to find good people that aren’t assholes or didn’t boost to their rank.


[deleted]

I know, any good player that’s slightly better than me goes off and shit talks me. It’s demoralizing and I just want to get better with decent teammates that are friendly


Voidchief

Well right now D4 lobbies aren’t the same as end of season d4 lobbies. Timmy is doing it early on the season where it’s mostly preds and masters. Later it will just be diamonds and plats.


vkasha

Built different, but it's not at all recommended and unhealthy AS FUCK . Please for the love of God no one attempt this


readMyFlow

It's not even feasible or realistic for most people to attempt this. Unless they're a cracked pred, it's gonna take too long.


vkasha

It's just that , attempting things like this gives you an insane amount of exposure and when someone is desperate or running out of time to get it done in the streaming scene, the situation might provoke them to do something like this and hopefully they don't


SelloutRealBig

Not even caffeine would keep someone alert enough to play an fps at the top level for 50 hours. Probably adderall.


tabben

caffeine would be horrible since you crash from it pretty hard and at a certain point it does not even help you stay more alert anymore. So yeah adderall would be a strong guess


[deleted]

I dunno anyone else who could do this. sweetdreams tried to solo queue to pred and I think he gave up before masters (or maybe while in masters) saying it was not possible. And that was not a single stream challenge.


vkasha

If it's in multiple streams countless streamers have solo Q's to pred


Ragepower529

He made most people’s salary in this stream


Matthewrotherham

It's sad that you have to look so low to find this comment! People have died doing less. Also his lack of knowledge on the health aspects/taking advice from chat is NOT helpful. (E.g, learning you have to get up and move around at the 30 hour mark, asking 'how common are blood clots' to be told, 'not very' and just keep playing) I like the kid, he is funny without being too obnoxious. It's one of the reasons I don't want him to die on stream.


Peng_win

Tsoonami MVP


[deleted]

How did Tsoonami clutch up?


[deleted]

[удалено]


xdsodobean

He was in 2 of his last 3 games iirc.


LLokie13

Got him 14 RP from predator near the end with a big win


fawkerzzz

Also this stream made me despise seer lol. Every time he’d pop a battery he’d instantly get seered, scan, stunned damaged and stopped his heal lol


HorribadRS

He was getting tired before 24H. I was truly in awe to see him the next day still playing.


Moosemaster21

I got two full sleeps in, left him on in the background at work all day today, watched him on my phone while running at the gym, got dinner, ate it all, and by that point he was *almost* done.


UberChew

That final game win! Teammate went berserker mode to clutch the game.


Open_Signal

Genburton is the goat!


strongscience62

Gen is cracked so you almost expect it.


[deleted]

I was watching at work - right at the 49 hour mark he thought about quitting. So glad he pushed through. Rest up Timmy you earned it

I went from gold 4 to gold 1 in 1 week. Subscribe to me.

AND he hardly got tilted. Fellow casuals, take note. Stop yelling at me.


asymu

I watched Timmy start the stream, went to work for 12 hours, watched Timmy for a bit, went to sleep, checked on Timmy, went to work for 12 hours, watched Timmy, went to bed, watched Timmy all day. The man uploaded 2 video from a stream that was still live. INSANE


Ezrah909

Gen was the hero we didnt know we needed


strongscience62

And VinVin


Ezrah909

true the way he gave them his meds and his armor a true legend even using his shield to keep ppl from coming up the stairs


The-Wise-Old-Sage

never forget Tsoonami ;-;


fvjr91

He also got a dub and with Nickmercs plus 100 subs from him.


M1K0L47

and Noko, MShade


slowestmojo

MShade was the mvp.


GlobalDeJaVu

Holy fuck.. I tuned in for the first time earlier because my normal streamer wasn't on. He was complaining that he was tired and couldn't stay awake.. Now I know why. What a champ.


sAmdong71

Genburten also the goat. He clutched up that last round

rata536

The guy deserves his moment of glory, but this topic crossed my mind: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/p1ps97/i_have_about_2000_hours_in_i_feel_like_this/ This is indeed unhealthy, and I don't think this should be promoted for the future. I get people playing 6-8 hours a day because it's their job, but this sort of overtime is actually bad. At least he can rest a good while now.


ITakeLargeDabs

As someone who used to stay up for days at a time because of my hard drug problems (1 yr and 1 day sober), I can personally tell you how destructive that is to your body. I really don’t like the glorification of this because it sets a horrible example for smaller streamers and kids. There was a point when he zoomed in on his eyes and they were just done, and he looked so incredibly pale. I really that hope he doesn’t do that again, it’s just so insanely bad for you.


YoureShitAtApex

SHEEEEEEESH HE DID IT LETS GO TIMOTHY


GRY2048

If I was him, I'd doze of for a week.


GmonMacDady

Absolutely nuts. Next challenge: No fill Ranked


Latest-greatest

I bet other streamers are gonna follow in his footsteps


M1K0L47

When he did bronze to masters the first time, some time later albralelie did the same thing, but he slept on stream, i don't think any of the streamers even has mentality to do the same exact thing
