Valorant Champions 2025 has come to an end, and the viewership stats are finally in. In a twist that no one saw coming, the most-watched co-streamer of the event wasn’t from the Valorant scene at all.
In fact, it was Counter-Strike 2 streamer and content creator Mark “ohnePixel” Zimmermann who recorded the highest number of peak viewers among all co-streamers for the event. The 27-year-old streamer surpassed well-established Valorant co-streamers such as Tarık “Tarik” Çelik, Pujan “FNS” Mehta, and several others who have been consistently co-streaming Valorant events over the years.
While primarily a CS2 streamer, ohnePixel has dabbed his toes in Valorant in the past, streaming himself trying to learn the Riot Games competitive shooter alongside Counter-Strike pro Justinas “jL” Lekavičius.
OhnePixel Records Highest Peak Viewers for Valorant Champions 2025 Co-Streams
Champions 2025 was one of the most successful Valorant events to date. According to data from esports charts, the biggest Valorant tournament of the year drew in a whopping 1.47 million peak viewers during the grand final game, where NRG took on Fnatic in a best-of-five series.
To the surprise of many, ohnePixel recorded the highest number of peak viewers among all Valorant co-streamers, and that too by a significant margin. The German Twitch star recorded a whopping 146,000 peak viewers on the platform.
Unlike most other Valorant Champions 2025 co-streamers, ohnePixel had tuned into the tournament only on the final day. Consequently, his total hours watched were much lower than that of creators like FNS, who accumulated an impressive 3.87 million hours watched across Twitch and YouTube combined.
OhnePixel’s unexpected rise to the top is a testament to just how far Valorant’s reach has grown outside its usual circles. When a Counter-Strike creator pulls the biggest numbers for the biggest Valorant event of the year, it’s clear the game’s competitive scene is hitting new heights by constantly pulling in fans from across the FPS world.
