IShowSpeed’s fans have eagerly embraced news of his new tour, though many were surprised by his choice of countries. It’s still unclear how Speed will be able to stream on YouTube from China, given the country’s restrictions on access to the platform (as well as other Google services and Western social networks). Some fans are even concerned that Speed could run into trouble in China due to his unique streaming style. On the flip side, fans are joking that Speed might single-handedly improve diplomatic relations between China and the U.S.
Past iShowSpeed's IRL-stream marathons
IShowSpeed has already completed three major IRL tours. Last summer, he traveled around Europe during the Euro 2024 football championship, followed by a tour of Southeast Asia a few months later. In January 2025, he visited his fans in Latin America. Each of these trips brought the streamer not just unforgettable experiences but also impressive viewership milestones. For instance, during his stream from Indonesia, he hit 1,043,028 viewers, setting a new personal record. On top of that, these tours helped iShowSpeed gain several million new subscribers to his YouTube channel.
