Counter-Strike: Source on Twitch — competition and audience

Valve· 2004· Linux · PC · Mac

Shooter

Counter-Strike: Source is a team-based tactical first-person shooter and a remake of the original Counter-Strike built on Valve's Source engine. A team of Counter-Terrorists faces a team of Terrorists across a series of rounds, each won by completing an objective such as defusing a bomb or rescuing hostages, or by eliminating the opposing team. Eliminated players do not respawn until the next round, and moving while firing reduces accuracy, encouraging careful positioning. The Source engine added interactive physics objects, ragdoll effects, and higher-detail environments, and the game was later succeeded by Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Should I stream Counter-Strike: Source on Twitch?

10/100 · Closed off· 32 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 93% of the 45 people watching Counter-Strike: Source in English, leaving about 3 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 3 of the 45 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 2 each if you split it with the 1 other English stream below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #3.

Only 45 of the 160 viewers here (28%) are watching in English. 3 of the 5 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is Counter-Strike: Source too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 5 people are streaming Counter-Strike: Source, and the two biggest English streams hold 93% of the 45 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
