I guess it's just down to their personalities as to why one attracts more viewers than the other. I do follow Anthony but I don't really find him that interesting as a streamer. He just seems to go through the motions. To me Anthony and Grimmz streaming together is nowhere near as entertaining as joshOG streaming with Rampage Jackson, or Viss streaming with the Doc. They might tear it up and get heaps of kills but I just find AK + Grimmz a bit boring for the most part.
The one I'm baffled by the most is summit1G, that guy is a fucking whiny douchelord. I can't stand him when he plays with people I watch.
a lot of it is luck. if you get enough people watching at the right time it can just snowball, which gets you more followers and subs, which means more views over time.
joshOG is the one who really annoys me because he's still such a shit about the gambling site thing.
Idk how he and others got away with it. It's baffling why anyone would support someone like that. I have to assume most of his viewers don't know about what happened because that shit is unforgivable. And summit can fuck off too. I used to watch his stream occasionally until I saw him defend josh after the fact. I guess youtubers/twitch streamers gotta defend their own... pathetic.
i can't think of anything worse

Oh god I'm so unlucky with the circle today, I played 2 round and I used all of my meds to make it inside, but it's thought to fight with half health.
I managed my first succesful dropshot though (barely)

I was a little slow to react.

I was a little slow to react.
I dropped that line on a team once over voice chat. 1v4. Killed 2 from about 200m away. They were in one of those open garage buildings. Drove a car straight into the garage with only a shotgun left. Yelled that, sprinted straight to the roof someone managing to dodge an entire magazine of some guy's UMP as I ran up. Killed the 3rd guy on the roof before the 4th ran up. Got him too. I fully expected to die as soon as I got in and was flabbergasted that it actually worked out.I wish you would have closed the door before haha
He would be like
I didn't record it though so it never happened. GrizzlyBear can attest to the fact that it never happened.

I don't know why I keep trying when every match the servers are hot trash.

I've actually considered trying a few runs like that (stay naked the entire game and see how far I can get each time). I bet I could get top 10 at least 25% of the time.

3 - You need to play more.
Yeah, i really need to dedicate more time to it, i only played solo, but looks like twos and squads are much more funner.
Most people probably dont kill people until 10+ rounds or if they start playing in squads
But same tip to you as to eveyrone else, start dropping into the more populated areas (not school or military base but places with a few other people that arent too large) and learn to shoot people with the first gun you find basically.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah, i think i need to expose myself more, i'm too afraid to die when i know that it's inevitable.

Just played my first match. A little laggy (might've been me. But I got to 22 (my lucky number lol) out of 95. Pretty fun.

Second dinner, first whilst streaming....Jesus that game started out so badly, I thought I was a gonna, always on the back foot trying to escape the gas, no real meds in the end game apart from a med kit....
Did not expect that ending at all.....
This is the end, if anyone wants to see the start the videos were split into 9 minutes for some reason, but they can be viewed.

Second team chicken dinner, this time with friends instead of randos. It was a tense standoff between us and two other squads. Pick off one, get one of the other as he sprints to the circle, and then I decided to wait and see... only to be surprised by the field closing in. I run, duck and weave while the other guy keeps shooting at me as I prone, and fire into the grass where he is crouching.
He had positioning... but I had the high ground.

Connection problems happen every now and then, most of the time you get it while just running around. You got unlucky and it hit you just as you engaged in a firefight. There's nothing else to it.

Just encountered my first cheater ever in this game. Dude w/ blatant aimbot just one shot headshotted our entire squad with a SCAR-L within 30 seconds of dropping.
There really needs to be an in game report button. None of this having to register for PUBG forum jumping through hoops bullshit.

Double click right mouse for iron sights/zoom. You'll only get zoom if you have a scope, and you can't toggle the magnification.

Also, double right click is if you want iron sights as a hold option. It's single right click if you just want it on.
This game does NOT like a weak or spotty connection, I had a bad string of timeouts due to my wifi acting up.

There's something funny about being in a compound on the edge of the zone, then hearing someone run in, then hearing three vehicles pull up over the course of the next minute and nobody shoots at each other.

crate lands RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME in the yasna field
guy sniping me from yas
it's an M249!!!!
wheat field finish
tag a guy running out of the wooded hills near the fork in the road south of yas, i think he died to the blue
wheat snake action
manage to gun down who i'm pretty sure was the guy sniping me back at the crate
headshot another dude (good god the SAW is a beautiful gun)

Could be the people Anthony parties with. Can't really stand some of the people he streams with regularly so I watch Grimmmz instead.
There's a tendency people have when playing the game to complain about how it was bullshit when they died. "What!? I shot him in the face!" "OMG I hit him so many times what is this crap!" "He shot me through a wall!" "WHAT? WHAT?"
While I'll concede that there may be certain times when something bullshitty happened with lag or a glitch or someone cheating (especially lag), most deaths just mean the other guy outshot you or out positioned you and it's really off putting hearing this reaction over and over and over (mainly talking about streams). People need to get over it. I had to stop watching a certain streamer because her whole party does this every time they die, every game, and it's nauseating.

Was playing duos with a friend and we'd been doing bad all night so I say "One more, let's make it good." So things were a little rocky leading up towards the end. We didn't have any sights for long range and we end up along the beach towards the west. No cover anywhere except some of those little shacks. We decide to take a risk and shack hop.
While waiting in the first one we see two guys go to the top of a hill to the west of us near the river. We knew that'd be a problem, but maybe we would be lucky with circles. Nope. This pair of snipers got every circle landing where they are. While running between two shacks my buddy dies, but I make it into the shack and close the door and wait. I hear someone running towards my shack and he just bolts into the door and I take him easily as I was already waiting for the door to open. My delivery boy brings me a Kar and a 4x with plenty of ammo and a level 3 helmet. Thanks buddy.
So I hit one of the snipers from the shack. Of course he lives and he doesn't make that mistake again. I kill another guy trying to flank me. Eventually it is three left. Me and my sniper pair that haven't had to move in like 3 or 4 circles. At this point I'm behind a tree on the very edge of the circle and the next one is at the top of their hill. I didn't stand a chance. Number 2. Never gonna get that chicken.
