by

After only eight days of streaming on Twitch, the well-known figure IShowSpeed successfully surpassed one million followers – a milestone reached during his highly anticipated return to the platform.

In December 2021, Twitch permanently banned IShowSpeed due to controversial remarks made during a live broadcast with Adin Ross. As a result, he shifted his streaming activities to YouTube, where he continues to stream today.

2023 saw Twitch granting clemency to Speed, lifting his ban – however, it took him another two years before he returned to the platform to stream.

By July 2025, Speed returned to the popular streaming platform with a vibrant tour through Eastern Europe. His performance garnered high acclaim from notable internet personalities such as MrBeast, who were impressed by the massive viewership figures he managed to attract during this specific journey.
