On the first day of the marathon, Cenat’s stream garnered 6.4 million unique viewers who watch 683 million minutes, while his channel has accounted for 2.5 percent of all hours watched globally on Twitch in the past two weeks, according to UTA.
At UTA, the 21-year-old Cenat will join other top streamers like Valkyrae (Rachell “Rae” Hofstetter), Pokimane (Imane Anys), Scump (Seth Abner) and Swagg (Kris Lamberson).
He continues to be represented by John Nelson at LFM Management.
