There are a lot of esports players that might make it to the top of this list. While we are aiming for a top ten list, we have chosen broadcasters that have had a long-term effect on their respective esport and the community as a whole. The rating does, to some degree, reflect viewing and follower counts, but it is not the most important consideration when ranking the players.
On Twitch and beyond the site, we ranked the broadcasters based on their perceived influence and content attractiveness. To that end, we look at what this stream's news/social/other coverage is like, as well as their on-stream demeanor, to see what makes them the driving force they are.
10. MKLeo
MKLeo may not have the most subscribers or tournament wins, but he deserves to be included among the best esports broadcasters. He is an esports caster who is also a professional Smash Bros. player. He is not only a great player, but he also has a lot of fun streaming the game. Despite the fact that Smash Bros. is one of the most popular fighting games, the prize pool does not reflect this, owing to Nintendo's participation being more detrimental than constructive the vast majority of the time.
As a result, athletes like MKLeo must juggle a streaming career while playing full-time. Esports broadcasting may be a huge benefit to certain esports athletes in this manner.
9. Symfuhny
Symfuhny is a professional player who is most well-known for his live broadcasts. His Twitch broadcasts have a sizable following, and the money he makes from them certainly outweighs the money he makes from professional gaming. He's a well-known Fortnite and Warzone player, so you might consider him an all-around pro-Battle Royale player. That's on top of being one of the greatest esports streamers in the world.
8. Faker
Faker is probably the greatest League of Legends player of all time. He also does a lot of streaming.
The League of Legends game features a large number of professional players as well as broadcasters. Most professional players are able to switch between the two categories since they have their own personal streams. Faker, on the other hand, is one of the best esports athletes turned Twitch streamers, with a sizable following. Despite the fact that his broadcasts are mostly in Korean, he has a huge number of followers and viewers from across the world who just want to watch him outplay his opponents.

When it comes to determining who the greatest CS:GO player in the world is, S1mple is often touted. He's been playing since 2013, and has spent the most of that time at the top of the CSGO circuit.

S1mple is one of the finest esports broadcasters, providing the material that demonstrates his skill as well as his unique on-screen attitude.
When he isn't winning CSGO Majors, you can find him at pubs, FPL, and Valorant, where he can amuse the people with his amazing talents.

He still participates in more casual esports tournaments, and due of his appearances, you may consider betting on him.

This includes becoming one of the top PUBG broadcasters and exploring other games like Valorant. His channel was formerly the third most popular on the site in terms of subscribers.
What sets Shroud apart is how quickly he becomes competent in FPS games as soon as they are released, and how easy he could pursue an esports career in most of them if he so desired.
