Caedrel Tops Europe's Most-Watched Streamers in Early 2025

British League of Legends caster and ex-pro player Marc "Caedrel" Lamont has officially claimed the crown as Europe's most-watched streamer for the first quarter of 2025 — and it wasn’t even close.

According to StreamsCharts, Caedrel racked up a massive 30.28 million hours watched across 684 hours of airtime between January and March.

Building on his momentum from late 2024 — when he cracked Twitch’s global top five — Caedrel’s non-stop coverage of major League of Legends events like the NLC, EMEA Masters, and LCK helped lock in his spot at the top.

Who Else Made the List?

Coming in strong at second place is Germany’s own Elias "eliasn97" Nerlich, who pulled in 16.29 million hours watched. Best known for his EA Sports FC streams, eliasn97 also kept fans hooked with content from Valorant, Among Us, and his co-created project, the Icon League — a media football tournament developed with none other than football legend Toni Kroos.

French streamer Kamel "Kamet0" Kebir rounded out the top three with 13.55 million hours watched. His streams of Karmine Corp matches — the esports org he co-founded — made him one of the biggest League of Legends personalities this quarter.

Meanwhile, Germany’s Mark "ohnePixel" Zimmermann snagged fifth place thanks to his Counter-Strike tournament coverage, staying true to his reputation as one of CS’s top community figures.

The top ten also saw strong showings from Russian-speaking creators like Vadim "evelone2004" Kozakov and Dmitrii "Recrent" Osintsev. Recrent, in particular — also a Pro Call of Duty & PUBG player — clocked an eye-watering 738 hours streamed — the most airtime of any top European streamer. Meanwhile, evelone2004 hosted special shows featuring Counter-Strike legends like S1mple and Donk, as well as streamed the PWE Shanghai tournament.

Rounding out the leaderboard was Spanish streamer Sergio "knekro" García, whose channel exploded in popularity after becoming the official co-stream for Movistar KOI during the League of Legends EMEA Championship in January — making him the top Spanish-language co-caster of the quarter.
