We’re done here, no sugarcoating or flares, just plain bonkers, uncut, streaming disorder. And it works. There was nothing else to say-stats said it all: in 2025, he is the number one North American streamer, throwing heavyweights Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed to the edges. Yes, you read it right: meme reaction dude who has a meltdown with MMOs and screams at his chat is number one.

What can we say? Asmongold‘s viewership has not only been massive; it has been consistent. This dude streams like it’s his job-he’s practically streaming for all the world to see: one minute we’re deep into WoW lore, the next he’s ranting about some random episode of YouTube drama. It’s a whole mood, and people cannot get enough.

Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, certainly behemoths in this kingdom called streaming, however fall behind. Theirs has been perhaps the most intense explosions this year, with Kai’s hilarious IRL incoherence qualities made fun of Speed’s, being Speed. We would not say that there were any more going viral moments. It is a long-distance race, then a sprint. And at this point? He’s getting ahead!

Numbers say it all. More hours viewed mean more pairs of eyes watching his streams, generating ad revenue, more subs-more just about everything. They call him Asmongold because of this unapologetically raw nature; there is no polish, no corporate drippings, just him. That very authenticity, though, is steadying his reign while others chase after the trend.

This is still not even On Top. As the next WoW expansion will soon come, and his react content ever burgeoning, perhaps this year 2025 will be the year when Asmongold will finally lock in an unassailable throne position. And do they think Kai or Speed is going to lie down and take it? Nope. The streaming wars have a long, long way to go. For now? The throne belongs to the bald guy with the dirty hair.

So, what does the future hold? More shouting; more memes; an unexpected 12-hour-long stream on another occasion, where Asmongold completely lost it over a single quest. However that turns out, you can bet the crowds will pay to watch; after all, in the wild and unruly world of streaming, Asmongold rules-for now.

And if anyone is not glued to the screen by now, it is time to catch up with it. Just don’ t expect us to be sympathetic if you lose six hours of your life to one Elden Ring reaction video; that happens to the best of us.
