According to TwitchMetrics at the time this is being reported, Shroud had gained 1,081,831 new followers over the past 30 days. Because of this massive influx of new followers, he has risen to the third most followed streamer on Twitch with 8.1 million.Tfueis second place at this category with 8.9 million, and is a few thousand followers away from reaching 9 million. At the rate that Shroud is growing, he may soon overtake Tfue for the second place spot on the platform. While Ninja hasn’t been incredibly consistent with his streaming times, he is still sitting comfortably at the highest follower count on Twitch at 15 million. It doesn’t seem like he will be unseated from that position any time soon, but Shroud is gaining new followers at a much faster rate than the iconicFortnitelegend. Only time will tell if Shroud’s follower count can surpass Ninja’s, but at the rate Shroud is growing, it doesn’t seem like this is an unobtainable goal anymore.
Even Shroud was surprised by his comeback, saying that he didn’t expect so many players to watch him in the way that they have. However, he’s shown himself to be a great, genuine entertainer, and many of his fans trust his insights into the games he plays.
