What's up guys my name is Colin McNeil, for theScore esports.
Last week ex-Halo player and current Fortnite streamer Ninja made mainstream
headlines when he queued with Drake, Travis Scott and Juju Smith-Schuster, breaking a
lot of Twitch records in the process.
Now I know, you and I could probably not care less about the latest celebrity gossip.
But you gotta admit, when someone who's mainstream famous, or just famous in a
community that isn't gaming, streams. It's kinda hype.
With that in mind we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to bring you The Top 10 Celebrities
who have streamed on Twitch.
Well guys, we decided to start our list off on a high note for this one, with the D-O-Double
G himself Snoop Dogg streaming battle royale title SOS in January of 2018.
(Stream)
Now let me blunt here, it appears that Snoop Dogg wasn't actually playing the game so much as he was
watching, reacting and controlling the mic.
We just hope that doesn't cause his future streaming career to go up in smoke.
(Stream)
Next up on our list, Felicia Day is widely known as one of the queens of the nerds.
She’s most famous for her role as the producer of The Guild, a series that is based off of
her life as a gamer.
Felicia was also a member of the cast of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Supernatural among
others.
In recent years Felicia has built her stream on Twitch playing a variety of games
(Stream)
Including: Rise of the Tomb Raider and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Number eight on our list might be the only member of this Top 10 that’s actually competed at
an esports event.
Hayward has always been an advocate for esports and even competed in the IGN Pro League during
the NBA lockout in 2011.
Alright Gordon let's get you into shape! Now what league are you in?
The NBA!
I meant in StarCraft II

When he hits the the rift, Hayward can be found in the top lane playing champions like
Tryndamere and outplaying his lane opponents like we see here:

R&B and hip-hop performer T-Pain was one of the first celebrities to make their mark on
Overwatch after the game came out.
The “Buy you a Drank” singer’s on-stream antics are just as hilarious as you’d expect.
(Stream)
He can be found playing a variety of heros, from Junkrat to Lucio to Hanzo.
(Stream)
Famous DJ, producer and musician Deadmau5, comes in at number six and he's likely the celebrity who’s taken
the biggest dive into Twitch.
Deadmau5 streams almost everyday with a lot of it lately being PUBG.
(Stream)
He’s also found a unique way to combine his career with his Twitch personality
by streaming himself working on and creating music.
Of all of the members on this list Deadmau5 is definitely the one most entrenched in Twitch
and streaming culture.

Coming in at number five
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion and has recently
been streaming PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

The “Superstar” rapper has been a huge supporter of the Fighting Game Community for
years now and is more than just a Street Fighter fan, he’s a player.

He even allowed Capcom to use a song from his newest album for Colleen’s announcement
trailer.

His biggest gaming moment was certainly his showmatch against Daigo at the Street Fighter V
release party.

Taking the third spot on this list is
Rick Fox, a true OG of the celebrity dive into esports and an ex NBA player
with the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
He’s really done it all in esports from streaming

records and got as high as 630,000 concurrent, smashing Dr. DisRespects previous record of
