WHEN it comes to our favorite streamers, we all have our preferences. From the people who serve as comedic reliefs to those who are adept at their favorite game, or someone who’s into something a little bit unique. As streaming becomes more mainstream, the streaming world’s biggest stars, like Tfue, Shroud, and Ninja, continue to rack up millions of views every month. Some small-time creators also rise to popularity, including these Bedans from the College.
