Asmongold has achieved the remarkable distinction of being the most-watched streamer in North America on Twitch in 2025. With an impressive 26.22 million watch hours recorded in the first quarter, he has outperformed notable competitors like KaiCenat and TimTheTatman. His ongoing success is evident as he recently monetized his alternate account, earning nearly six figures in just a matter of days. Known primarily for his gameplay in World of Warcraft and his often controversial online presence, Asmongold has been a fixture in the streaming community since 2009, making a transition to Twitch in 2011.
Although he has moved away from primarily streaming World of Warcraft, his ability to adapt and thrive on the platform remains undeniable. In recent discussions, Pokimane disclosed that a Twitch employee exploited their position, falsely claiming a relationship with her to scam viewers. This incident highlights the risks and controversies that sometimes permeate the Twitch environment. Meanwhile, Asmongold’s ascent continues, with Streamscharts reporting his takeover of the streaming landscape in early 2025.
He reached the top of the viewership rankings with a significant lead, as KaiCenat garnered 22.10 million hours and TimTheTatman totaled 20.21 million hours. Notably, KaiCenat managed to secure second place while streaming the fewest hours, just 274, compared to Asmongold’s 567 hours and TimTheTatman’s 1,002 hours. Asmongold’s milestones keep accumulating; in March, he set a record for the most hours watched on Twitch, amassing 5 million hours within just two weeks. By the end of 2024, he monetized his alt account, adding to his earnings at an astonishing rate.
Despite the challenges Twitch faces in the ever-changing streaming landscape, Asmongold’s popularity and profitability remain steadfast as the competition heats up among platforms like YouTube and Kick.
