The year is still young, but a lot’s been happening in the video gaming space. Many promising titles are slated for release, like Devil May Cry 5, Rage 2, World of Warcraft Classic and even a Harry Potter/Pokemon Go inspired mobile game.  Awareness of Twitch and streamers is becoming more main-stream, which is reflected in the growing number of aspiring streamers and viewers.

There are also far more non-English streamers cropping up, largely due to the success of Lost Ark at its initial launch and the streaming space is finally beginning to create a place for serious female streamers to be recognized and gain a significant following. While it is still hard to find the ones who truly earn their place in the top-viewed and growing channels, we have managed to track down the top ten female streamers that we feel are most likely to positively impact the Twitch community in 2019:

1. AnneMunition

Top Ten Female Streamers for 2019AnneMunition grew up playing console games with her siblings and has been addicted to shooter games ever since her brother introduced her to them when she was a teen. Her life-long love of gaming is reflected in her playstyle and dedication to continue streaming despite the occasional trolling male-players. She is known for her down-to-earth, ‘say-it-as-it-is’ attitude and dry humor. Rather than dedicating herself to a single game, she prefers to do variety streams.

2. Danucd

Top Ten Female Streamers for 2019Dana Gard is a fast-growing Latvian streamer who began streaming her <em>PUBG</em> gameplays in April 2018, although her viewership only really started growing in late 2018. This is a major accomplishment considering how much later she joined the PUBG community than other streamers, as well as how much more popular both Fortnite and CoD are. The key to her success seems to lie in her cheerfulness, ‘giveaway games’ where she teams with her subscribers for live gameplays, as well as her cute personality and high skill level.

4. KayPea

Top Ten Female Streamers for 2019Kelsie Pelling is a Canadian streamer, who is slowly making her mark as an LoL streamer and member of SivHD. As with many streamers, Pelling’s passion for gaming started at an early age. However, her hobby wasn’t shared by her friends. She therefore spent a lot of that time playing alone, and really wanted to have people to interact with. A friend of hers introduced her to Twitch, thereby opening a new, fun community to her. She began streaming purely for the sake of having a few people to chat with while she was gaming. Her enthusiasm and skill eventually attracted the attention of SivHD, who invited her to join his team in 2015. Even though it was a huge risk, she decided to quit her job, sell her belongings and move to the Netherlands to pursue a career as a professional gamer, and she hasn’t looked back since.
