The journey was fraught with difficulty, particularly with the persistent interference of stream snipers trying to sabotage their efforts. It wasn’t until the intervention of Epic Games that the duo could eliminate these distractions, allowing them to focus on achieving their viral ambitions.

This remarkable feat is just one of many accomplishments for the duo, who have dominated the streaming landscape throughout 2024. IShowSpeed was recognized as Streamer of the Year for his widespread influence, while Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 broke records on Twitch, solidifying their status as titans of the streaming world.

Looking ahead to 2025, both streamers have even grander aspirations, including the ambitious goal of broadcasting from outer space—a venture they hope to collaborate on with entrepreneur Elon Musk.
