Zen, the late-night French Twitch program that has been broadcasted every other Monday since October 2021 by MaximeBiaggi and Grimkujow, had a special show at the Zénith de Paris-La Villette on June 26. Over two hours and 50 minutes of screen time, it did some pretty good numbers, further enhancing the former's credentials as a premier content creator in France.
The two influencers usually appear in costumes to host web personalities and fellow streamers as guests. The show sees various segments, including interviews, sketches, and offbeat happenings that help produce content that suits the guests and attracts thousands of viewers.
What made this episode — titled Zen au Zenith avec Squeezie — stand out was that it was the final show of Season 2, with Squeezie, the No 1 French streamer, present as the guest. Other personalities like Bezigue, Ben Haddad, and Théorus were also present, helping the show hit some great numbers.
This special broadcast recorded 452K Hours Watched, 187K Peak Viewers, and 159K Average Viewers in around three hours. It ended up becoming MaximeBiaggi's most popular stream yet on his Twitch channel, with his top three and four of the top five such videos coming from the Zen series.
Moreover, his top 14 broadcasts in terms of peak concurrent viewers were all from 2022, showing how his growth and the success of the show have turned him into a massive online name in one of Europe's powerhouse nations. That he had someone like Squeezie, the most followed French Twitch star and who recently co-founded the esports organization Gentle Mates alongside another famous French content creator Gotaga, only helped this episode reach the pinnacle.
