6 Underrated Twitch Streamers You Should Know
We all know and love Twitch's most-followed streamers. They're effortlessly charismatic and can keep up the energy for hours. But when you're in a sea of thousands of viewers, you might not be able to connect the same you would in a more intimate setting.
With that said, we much prefer to watch smaller streamers. You truly can build a relationship within their community without the hustle and bustle, and they can be even more fun to watch. Below, find six underrated content creators we can't get enough of that deserve just as much recognition as the platform's biggest names.
Christal Raine
The gaming world seriously lacks representation in popular shooter games like Fortnite, Valorant and Overwatch. Christal Raine is the Overwatch streamer you need to know. She recently did a live with LE SSERAFIM's Huh Yunjin for their recent collaboration, and their chemistry was impeccable. If you asked us, we'd think they had been best friends for years. That shows what a shining personality Christal has to hold her weight next to a global K-pop phenom.
Fine
We discovered Fine on TikTok and haven't looked back. As true Nintendo lovers, we enjoy playing nearly any game with Mario branding, but we can't always get into streams of watching others play it. Fine does a flawless job of integrating his community into his stream with open lobbies and keeps you on the edge of your seat with his hilarious commentary.

KalelSumisu
If you watched YouTube in the late '00s and early '10s, you're probably familiar with Kalel, who previously went by KalelKitten. She rebranded under KalelSumisu and recently opened a Twitch account. For anyone who prefers "Just Chatting" streams, Kalel might become your new obsession, thanks to her charming personality.
Kandidly Kayla
The Sims has the power to be very boring or very entertaining. Kandidly Kayla easily fits the game into the latter with her vivid storylines. You'll be in for a treat whenever you tune into the streams, and she amplifies the chaos with her equally intense reactions.
PlayWithMae
Are you looking for some quality relaxation? Tune into PlayWithMae's streams of almost every cozy came imaginable, from Disney's Dreamlight Valley to Coral Island. She constantly engages with her chat—you'll feel like you're talking to a longtime friend.
Springsims
We've also been watching Springsims, who also goes by Stephen, for a few years. He primarily streams The Sims 4 content, and anytime you watch him, you'll feel like you're getting a warm hug. He's easily one of the most kind and chill creators—if you're against loud, screaming streamers, you'll fit comfortably in Stephen's relaxing lives.
