German streamer ohnePixel was the most-watched co-streamer for the VALORANT Champions 2025 tournament, surpassing popular personalities like FNS and Tarik in viewership.
VALORANT has many popular streamers and content creators. Recently, the VALORANT Champions 2025 tournament finished, and many official co-streamers helped to broadcast it, bringing in their existing fans. Surprisingly, the most-watched co-streamer for Champions 2025 wasn’t a VALORANT player at all, but Mark “ohnePixel” Zimmermann, who usually streams Counter-Strike 2.
It’s FNS! It’s Tarik! Nope, it’s ohnePixel!
German streamer ohnePixel had the most viewers of any watch party over the weekend while co-streaming VALORANT Champions 2025.
He only streamed the final weekend of competition. During the championship match between Fnatic and NRG, he had a peak of 122,100 viewers, as reported by Esports Charts.
These numbers were significantly higher than the viewership of Pujan “FNS” Mehta, a former NRG player and Paper Rex supporter, who reached a peak of 64,600 viewers. Tarik “tarik” Celik came in third, peaking at 50,000 viewers.
ohnePixel and VALORANT
ohnePixel is a popular Twitch streamer with over 2.1 million followers, primarily known for playing Counter-Strike 2. He’s streamed CS2 for an impressive 761 hours this year, with each stream averaging around 38,000 viewers.
Nobody expected him to be chosen as an official co-streamer for Champions 2025, so the announcement was a big surprise.
Following the announcement, ohnePixel explained that the excitement was coming from both the Counter-Strike and VALORANT communities. He added, ‘Why not watch the biggest VALORANT tournament?’
He later shared that Riot Games invited him to co-stream live from the Accor Arena in Paris, France. However, he turned down the offer, explaining that he didn’t want to take the opportunity away from a long-time VALORANT content creator who deserved it more.
His live broadcast of the VALORANT Champions 2025 tournament was a huge hit, performing even better than his broadcasts of Counter-Strike events. Esports Charts reported a peak viewership of 122,100 during the final, making it one of his most popular major esports streams. While the BLAST Austin Major from earlier this year remains his most-watched event, the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 came in a close second.
After the Counter-Strike Champions playoffs, ohnePixel shared his enthusiasm, saying, “I’m a huge Counter-Strike fan, but this event was incredible! It exceeded all expectations— honestly, it was the best experience ever. I definitely want to be involved with more Champions events if Riot allows it.”
