The Luminy Awards are an awards show created by popular Peruvian Twitch streamer and content creator ElZeein. The awards were first established last year, and the event's inaugural edition received 41K Peak Viewers on ElZeein’s personal Twitch channel. Only a handful of days ago, the event's second edition took place, celebrating the best of Peruvian’s live-streaming community. The recent show, which took place on February 4, received 54.6K Peak Viewers and became one of Peru’s most popular live streaming events ever.
Across 5 hours of broadcasting time, the event managed a stable and high average viewership, but the peak concurrent viewers metric is the best achievement here. The Luminy Awards reached 54.6K Peak Viewers, an increase of over 33% compared to the previous year’s awards show.
The event was not only a huge success compared to last year’s iteration, but it set new expectations for what the Pervian live streaming community can achieve. ElZeein boasts 502K Followers on Twitch, ranking him as the 7th-most-followed streamer in Peru. His Luminy Awards this year managed to become the second-most-popular broadcast on Twitch from a Peruvian streamer, outperforming many other creators with hundreds of thousands of followers more than ElZeein.
CaptainGatoo is Peru’s most-followed Twitch streamer, with a mass following of over 1.23 million fans. He holds the Peruvian record for the most popular broadcast ever, which he achieved during his participation in the Squid Craft Games 2, a Minecraft event featuring some of Latin America’s and the globe’s most popular streamers and creators.
ElZeein reached a peak viewership 13K viewers fewer than CaptainGatoo, but he managed this despite a 720K+ Followers deficit to CaptainGatoo. Awards shows and other special events are powering both the top streamers of the industry, as well as the creators who receive solid viewership but usually don’t experience such towering viewership peaks.
Other notable Peruvian Twitch streamers on this ranking include pgod and AQUINO, who have 891K and 899K Twitch Followers, respectively. Despite their followers on Twitch being much larger than ElZeein, they were not able to come close to his 55K Peak Viewers figure. Neither of these streamers has hosted special events or an awards show; they generated their peaks during gaming streams.
Awards shows are proving to be a tried-and-tested method for achieving viewership peaks, and also as a method to broach connections and sponsorships with famous brands. 2024 will likely be full of many more awards shows, both recurring and new.
