Brazilian mega start casimito continues to make history. The streamer made headlines when he announced he had the rights to broadcast all the Brazilian national team FIFA World Cup 2022 games, and also stream at least one match of the competition per day. Now, in the first match of the knockout stage, where Brazil faced and defeated South Korea, casimito YouTube broadcast became the most popular stream of 2022 so far, with an astonishing 5.2 million Peak Viewers.
Casimito has broadcasted many of the FIFA World Cup 2022 matches, with everyone that resides in Brazil being able to watch them for free. They can do it on his YouTube channel, a platform with which the streamer has a non-exclusive deal to broadcast the event, or on his Twitch channel.
It’s a new way to watch the FIFA World Cup 2022, and one that viewers have loved so far. It gives fans a unique viewing experience, and has provided us with plenty of memorable moments. The “Copa no Cazé” has become a true alternative to traditional TV broadcasts. It has the ingredients of traditional football shows, such as previews of the matches made by professional commentators and analysts. But, it has its own aura, feeling like it's just a group of friends watching a football game together, while they commentate on it.
When we look at the most popular streams of 2022, we can now see the Brazilian streamer seating comfortably in first place with 5.2 million Peak Viewers. Apple Fall Event, where the company announced many new products, such as the iPhone 14 or the Apple Watch Ultra, had 3.6 million PV. The Law&Crime Network had 3.55 million PV, because of broadcasting the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial, one of the most popular trials in history. Both of these channels are far from the numbers the Brazilian streamer was able to reach. Worth noting that, ibai broadcast of his popular event “La Velada Del Año II”, is the only stream from Twitch on this list.
With Brazil being one of the favorites to win the event, and the stakes becoming higher at the passing of every game, we can see this record being broken in the near future. If the five-time World Cup champions manage to make it to the semifinals, there is a big chance they will face their biggest rivals Argentina. If that happens, casimito has a chance to shatter every viewership record to date.
