Adin Ross creates his own streamer tier list and calls himself, xQc, and IShowSpeed "GOATs," places Mizkif and HasanAbi in "straight trash" tier

During a livestream on August 6, 2023, controversial Kick personality Adin Ross decided to create a tier list to rank various popular streamers and content creators. While the majority of content creators were put into the "Don't watch/don't know" category, Adin Ross placed 41 Twitch, YouTube, and Kick broadcasters in the remaining six categories. Here are the seven tiers he created:

• GOAT (Greatest of all time)/Pioneer
• S
• A
• B
• C
• Straight trash
• Don't watch/don't know

After spending almost an hour, the Florida native placed himself at the top, alongside Darren "IShowSpeed," Kai Cenat, Felix "xQc," Tyler "Ninja," and Paul "Ice Poseidon." However, he placed Matthew "Mizkif," Hasan "HasanAbi," and Twitch at the bottom of the list.

"Motherf**ker, I changed the game" - Adin Ross explains why he believes he's the GOAT of streaming, along with IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, xQc, and others

Adin Ross polled his audience at the one-hour mark of the broadcast, asking if they thought he could be considered a pioneer in the streaming industry. When he saw what his Kick chat said, the 22-year-old claimed he "changed the game" and was once so popular that "every streamer" used to react to his content:

"'Remove Adin.' Motherf**ker, I changed the game. Stop it! Literally, changed the f**king game! Chat, I'm going to be honest. There was a point, man, where every streamer - every time I would go live would react to me. Every f**king streamer! Except for the POGGERS people, obviously. You know what I'm saying?"

Viewers then asked why he thought xQc was ranked among the most influential people on the list. Adin Ross responded:

"He's been number one forever. xQc is the f**king... is the f**king pioneer."

According to Adin Ross, when it comes to a person's accomplishments, IShowSpeed is the "biggest" streamer of all time. However, xQc cemented himself as the "greatest" content creator of all time when it pertains to the "old-fashioned" streaming culture:

"What I personally believe is - the biggest streamer of all time is Speed. The greatest of all time, as far as accomplishments, most rewarding... and influential. Now, xQc is, in my opinion, the greatest streamer of all time. The classic terminology of streaming is xQc. He's the GOAT. If you guys love the old-fashioned terminology of the culture of streaming, it's X."
