IShowSpeed has cemented himself as an internet sensation with many viral moments—and his latest stream broke his personal records.
On a trip to Indonesia, Speed went live on YouTube while exploring the streets of Jakarta. The stream featured many Indonesian viewers finding Speed on the street, and quickly became the streamer’s biggest achievement. He recorded a massive peak concurrent viewer count of over one million concurrent viewers. At the time he announced it was his biggest stream ever, Speed’s stream data also showed that there were over 14 million views throughout the entire live stream.
The stream was filled with heartwarming moments, like when Speed broke down in tears after learning about his staggering viewer counts and told his fans he was “beyond happy.” After completing the stream, Speed posted about the accomplishment on X (formerly Twitter) and sent love to all his Indonesian viewers.
The stream was also filled with classic moments you would come to expect from Speed, like plenty of screaming from both him and his fans. As soon as Speed went live a group of fans instantly found him, and more joined throughout the stream to form a mass of happy viewers.
Speed received plenty of gifts while live, such as a doll of Christiano Ronaldo, and took time to interact with locals in Jakarta. Towards the end of the stream Speed meet up with a famous cosplayer who dresses up as Nami from the popular anime One Piece, while he wore a straw hat inspired by Luffy.
Now that the stream is complete, fans on X are rallying behind their favorite streamer. One fan called Speed “the greatest of all time” while sharing the stream’s stats. Another questioned how people would “deny” Speed his streamer of the year awards.
No matter your opinion on the streamer’s accomplishments, Speed has certainly amassed one of the largest digital fanbases in the world. While it is unclear when or where Speed will go live next on his trip across Asia, he could certainly break his personal record again.
