Looking back through our Q3 data for over 26M+ channels, we collected the top-performing gaming live streamers from Latin America for the year's third quarter. Of all the vibrant countries from this region, Brazil hosted by far the largest audience and Brazillian streamers were the most-watched of any LATAM country.
Sitting on the top of these rankings, Gaules was the most-watched Latin American streamer of Q3 2023. The Brazillian Counter-Strike streamer and caster has continued his massive watch time, making Q3 his second quarter of the year in which he achieved over 30M+ hours of watch time.
Overall, Gaules was by far the most-watched streamer, receiving almost double the watch time of Cellbit, who ranked second for Q3. Gaules benefited from being live for almost the entire quarter, racking up over 2.1K hours of broadcasting time. The Brazillian is well-known for his Counter-Strike coverage, and Q3 was a big month for CS:GO in esports. Gaules covered events like IEM Cologne, Gamers8, and the ESL Pro League Season 18.
Cellbit was the second best-performing live-streamer of the quarter and accumulated 15.37M hours of watch time. The Brazillian’s most-watched content of the period was his tabletop RPG streams, where he broadcasted his Paranormal Order game. Cellbit created the universe for the game himself, and he streamed a special two-shot campaign featuring international creators in September. The international make-up of the cast meant the Brazillian streamed in English for a rare occasion, opening himself up to a more international audience of fans.
Finishing up the podium places was WestCol of Colombia. He was the singular Colombian to make our list and the only Kick streamer to earn enough watch time to rank within the top 10 overall. WestCol also recorded the highest Peak Viewers of anyone on this ranking, with over 806K concurrent viewers recorded during a special event. WestCol held his second Stream Fighters event during Q3, and the event received 3.76M Hours Watched for a singular stream. The event was hugely popular and also brought in many new followers to his channel.
The Colombian has been experiencing success on Kick, which he joined earlier this year, and off the back of Stream Fighters, he may continue to climb up these rankings for Q4. WestCol also went live on Twitch during Q3, but only very briefly and the large majority of his watch time for the quarter is thanks to his Kick broadcasts.
NOBRU was the sole YouTube-based streamer on this ranking, and the YouTube Gaming streamer received 7.3M Hours Watched during the quarter. Not only is NOBRU extremely popular within the LATAM region, but he also was the sole mobile gaming content creator for this ranking. He is dedicated to his coverage of Garena Free Fire, a mobile Battle Royale game, and his fanbase is extremely loyal and consistent in their viewership.
Before we explore the rest of the streamers on this ranking, let’s look at the most-watched streamers on a platform-by-platform basis.
Most Watched LATAM Twitch Streamers of Q3 2023
Loud_Coringa was the third-most-watched Twitch creator for the period and the only streamer we haven’t already discussed to reach over 10M Hours Watched. Coringa’s content for the quarter was mainly dominated by GTA V role-play streams, which are quickly becoming some of the most popular content in regions like Brazil, and especially on platforms like Kick.
El_Spreen received 8.43M Hours Watched for the quarter and recorded his most-watched stream ever during this period. In early August, the Argentinan streamer hosted a 24-hour marathon broadcast and earned 2.08M Hours Watched in a single stream. This was enough to rank him ahead of PaulinhoLOKObr and rivers_gg.
PaulinhoLOKObr is another streamer who focuses on GTA V content, and he receives consistently high viewership for these streams. Rivers_gg recorded some of her most-watched content ever during Q3 of this year. Early in the quarter, she hosted a stream talking about her experience fighting at ibai’s La Velada del Año III, a content creator boxing event. She also received consistently high watch time while covering the Queens League, in which she is the chairperson of PIO FC.
ElMariana is the second Mexican on our ranking, following rivers_gg, and he received 6.93M Hours Watched for the quarter. He’s one of the fastest-growing streamers on Twitch at the moment, and in Q2 he was the most-watched LATAM Spanish-speaking creator. His content as a variety streamer is diverse and he consistently brings in solid watch time for every stream.
The final three creators of this ranking, LuquEt4, alanzoka, and Baiano all represent Brazil. LuquEt4 is another GTA V creator, whereas alanzoka is a variety streamer who does not confirm to a singular game or category on Twitch. Baiano is also a dedicated League of Legends creator, receiving 98% of his watch time for the past 30 days in the game’s category.
Most Watched LATAM YouTube Gaming Streamers of Q3 2023
NOBRU, as mentioned above, is the most-watched YouTube Gaming streamer of Q3 2023. Behind him, was creator CEROL with 4.5M Hours Watched for the quarter. Interestingly, the YouTube Gaming LATAM scene is much less diverse than any other platform we analysed.
Of the top 10 most-watched creators on YouTube Gaming from LATAM, 7 of these were mainly streaming Garena Free Fire. CEROL, FREITAS Lives, BAK, WEEDZERA TV, Fluxo Gorilla, and TheHecorino were all dedicated broadcasters for the mobile gaming Battle Royale title. The game is hugely popular in Brazil, which is one of the fastest-growing mobile gaming regions in the world, so it's no surprise that this game dominates the rankings. One note of interest, TheHectorino was the only Garena Free Fire creator who isn’t Brazillian, the 8th most-watched creator of this ranking is a Mexican streamer.
Linkego of Ecuador is a creator who focuses on Roblox content, the only streamer to cover this game that we’ve seen in these rankings so far, and SUPER XANDÃO represents a different kind of creator. The Portuguese broadcaster has over 1M Subscribers on YouTube and he mainly live-streams himself reacting to YouTube content on the site, although he occasionally broadcasts games such as Mortal Kombat 11.
Most Watched LATAM Kick Gaming Streamers of Q3 2023
Turning to Kick, the final platform we combed through, WestCol is by far the most-watched creator from LATAM on the platform. He was the only streamer to achieve multi-million hours of watch time and his jump from Twitch to Kick has boosted his popularity to new heights.
Brunenger was the second-most-watched creator of the ranking and the only Argentinan on this list. He achieved 1.95M Hours Watched through the quarter, mainly thanks to his Just Chatting and IRL content on the platform. He also broadcasts some GTA V, which is hugely popular on Kick.
Slightly more diverse than the YouTube Gaming rankings, GTA V and its RP servers were the dominant content for Kick this quarter. Of the top ten, 4 of these creators received a majority of their watch time thanks to GTA V RP streams.
Mrstiventc, samulx, PaulinhoLOKObr, who we looked at in the Twitch rankings also, and epidemic77, all received a majority of their watch time from the GTA V category on Kick. The remaining broadcasters on the ranking achieved their watch time in the Just Chatting section, except for sonecarox, who is exclusively live in the Slots & Casinos category.
The remaining three broadcasters, planettas, jaidefinichon, and lasapaaaaa, are all variety streamers, although the majority of their watch time came from the Just Chatting section. Of these three, planettas of Chile was the most popular with 488K Hours Watched accumulated during Q3 of this year.
Latin American streamers are some of the biggest creators in live-streaming today, although the difference between streaming platforms is still clear to see, all of these streamers are popular in their own right. Twitch remains more diverse in content throughout Q3, whereas YouTube Gaming and Kick are more monolithic in regards to popular content. Keep up to date with all of the evolutions in the live-streaming industry with the viewership statistics for every streamer on the biggest live-streaming platforms in the world.
