Sunpi has been creating video content on Youtube for over five years, and only slightly more recently added variety Twitch streaming to her formidable arsenal. Strong chaotic energy permeates her streams no matter what she's up to in front of the camera.
Dyllan, AKA ZEROxFUSIONZ, also branched out into variety streaming after specialising in EA's Plants vs Zombies franchise, particularly Garden Warfare, for many years. With 27k followers on Twitch he's the smallest streamer of the five, but has an outsize impact on Youtube where he numbers almost 250,000 subscribers.
The final member of this eclectic quintet is veteran streamer Sacriel. A formidable foe in FPS games who created content on both Youtube and Twitch.tv before the latter even become Twitch, he's grown his livestreaming channel to over 700,000 followers and become one of the UK's most-recognised gameplay-focussed content creators.
