Their success is also one reason Portuguese has seen more success this year than in 2022, with almost all its prominent streamers seeing increases in their metrics across the board. This has also meant a more crucial presence during esports events, with audiences speaking this language slowly becoming more crucial to their viewership performances.
Many fresh faces, led by Cellbit and Malena0202, have also emerged as some of the fastest-growing influencers coming out of Brazil in 2023 and helping usher in the next generation of online superstars from this nation. With their diverse content, including special events and specific video gaming content like creating a tabletop RPG universe as the acting writer and GM or playing pivotal parts in a massively popular Minecraft server, they have shown that the future is bright.

None other than Gaules is atop this table as the only name with over 100M Hours Watched, having more or less made it a monopoly when it comes to yearly watch time for broadcasters from this vibrant South American nation. In fact, the former professional player and current content creator for Counter-Strike 2 is one of the biggest names globally when it comes to esports content and special events, and this is a major reason millions of fans tune in for each competition, especially those having a Brazilian connection.
Next is CazéTV, who could be the only one to rival Gaules in terms of the sheer volume of content and the following enjoyed. There is an argument to be made that he is Brazilian YouTube's answer to his Twitch-affiliated colleague, but he is no doubt the biggest name for the red platform in the country. His content in the sports sector has made him such a prominent and followed figure that he recently won the right to host the official UEFA Champions League games in the world's fifth-largest nation.
Fábio Teruel, one of the most beloved preachers and evangelists of the new generation as per his YouTube handle, is third with 61.05M HW. It offers 'powerful daily prayers that bring Prophetic Words and Divine Revelations so that followers have deliverance, God's protection, and the release of all His blessings upon their lives.' In fact, he encourages listeners and viewers to inculcate a daily habit of Prayer, with the mostly religious citizens flocking in droves to receive their blessings.
The account of another religious figure, Bispo Bruno Leonardo, is fourth, as the Bishop is married to Érica Rios, leader and founder of the World Revival Baptist Church. He has been pastoring since age 15 and dedicates his time to preaching the gospel and winning souls from a small Church in Salvador, the capital of Brazil's northeastern state of Bahia. His sermons and messages about God have made him quite the hit among the more conservative part of the population since he opened a YouTube account in 2016.
Rounding off the top five is loud_coringa, perhaps the most well-known Grand Theft Auto creator from the world's seventh-most populous country. The former esports pro was a big part of the GTA RP movement during the lockdown era and continues to be a massive name attached to this Rockstar Games classic. What makes his channel on the Google-owned streaming site even more endearing is that he also uploads vlogs, gameplays, fun shorts, and lifestyle clips, appealing to a wide strata of society in his homeland and outside.
The bottom five names on this leaderboard are no less than those above them, with PaulinhoLOKObr being another massive name in the GTA V sphere. NOBRU is perhaps the biggest name in one of the country's biggest mobile esports games, Garena Free Fire.
Baiano has been instrumental in ensuring League of Legends esports remains relevant in his native with its biggest unofficial tournament in Brazil; such has been the effects of the CBOLÃO's five seasons that he raised 200,000 Brazilian reais (around $39,000) to assist nongovernmental animal rescue organizations. Meanwhile, alanzoka has created a huge space for himself in the streaming industry and is the purple platform's most followed Brazilian.
