Brazil's livestreaming scene remains one of the biggest in the world, with only the Spanish and English segments coming close to being called competitors. Crucially, it is only growing, with the overall 2024 numbers showing a rise in crucial metrics like Hours Watched (HW), channel count, and stream count compared to 2023.
With its streamers continuing to shape the live streaming and esports industries, Brazil's content creation industry is large enough that it deserves its own rankings despite being a part of the Latin American region. After all, if we were to combine these two forces, internet personalities from the home of the Amazon would dominate this overall list.
The country's robust livestreaming community means it also has the resources to host the largest esports awards in Latin America, hosted by the Premio eSports Brasil. The 2024 edition was recently held at the Latin America Memorial in Sao Paulo, with the likes of aspas, srN, and Cauan7 taking home trophies.
This country's love for competitive video gaming was also evident over the last 12 months, led by Gaules and his broadcasts of all things related to Counter-Strike. We also saw Nobru, Alanzoka, and Baiano remain at the forefront of this march toward making the country one of the most sought-after in these fields last year.
#10 Yuri "Yuuri22" Brida
Yuuri22 is a popular Brazilian streamer particularly recognized for his first-person shooter streams, especially in Garena Free Fire. He also routinely delves into sports and adventure games, with his 2024 titles of choice being EA Sports FC, Fortnite, and Grand Theft Auto V.
The São Paulo resident's streams last year often witnessed him collaborating with friends, including the likes of Loud_Coringa, as they interacted with his chat and created a fun and interactive atmosphere. What helps viewers gravitate toward the former Free Fire pro for Los Grandes — one of the largest teams in Brazil — is his flamboyant and lively style as he reacts animatedly to humorous videos and social media posts.
Yuuri22 also has genuine claims to being one of the fastest-growing Twitch streamers from Brazil in 2024, having amassed 714,753 new followers so far. What has also won him fans in the country is his advocacy for mental health awareness, and he often discusses the topic during his streams.

Having represented top-tier teams and achieved significant success in various tournaments and leagues, he has continued to display his prowess in the game via his livestreams last year.
In 2024, CEROL's streams of the Garena battle royale mobile shooter continue to draw in thousands of viewers despite the game's generally plateauing statistics. This has also made him the game's second-most watched creator last year on a list dominated by his countrymen.

#6 Aliffe Henrique "PaulinhoLOKObr" de Carvalho
PaulinhoLOKObr, also popular as Paulinho O Loko, is a prominent Brazilian streamer who has gained significant popularity for his engaging and comedic content.

This makes him the number one name from his country by the same metric for the year, although his output has been far lesser than in 2023.
Intriguingly, the São Paulo native has also leveraged his fame to become a prominent name in the TikTok scene. It is another platform where fans can find more of his gaming clips, albeit in shorter, byte-sized versions, and he has so far amassed over four million followers.

Apart from actively streaming Free Fire, the former world champion has been involved in various esports projects, including owning his own esports organization. Fluxo, which he co-founded with fellow Free Fire alum CEROL, enjoyed a pretty solid 2024, with its Free Fire roster rounding the year off by winning the Free Fire World Series - Global Finals 2024 earlier this month.

Interestingly, his early life involved the Sao Paulo resident working as a sound system installation assistant with his father. He even had to curb his gaming activities to concentrate on this task, but once he came into the LOUD fold, there was no looking, with Coringa even leaving the Free Fire competitive landscape to concentrate on content creation.
As part of LOUD, one of Brazil's premier esports organizations, Coringa has often been seen teaming up with other content creators and streamers to collaborate on numerous projects.

#2 Gustavo "Baiano" Gomes
Baiano reiterated his importance to the Brazilian gaming community thanks to his active streaming of all things League of Legends across 2024, including sharing his expertise and entertaining his viewers. Hosting the CBOLÃO League, a popular Brazilian LoL tournament, further solidified his position as a key player in the scene.
As a former professional League of Legends player, the 30-year-old's transition into a streaming and content creation career has been highly successful. Fans flock to his broadcasts for his insightful analysis, witty commentary, and engaging personality, be it on Twitch or YouTube, especially when it comes to his content on the legendary Riot Games MOBA.
