"You asked. I asked. The @neymarjr asked! And @NetflixBrasil RELEASED! Let's watch together live the 1st EP by Neymar - The Perfect Chaos before everyone else! Monday, from 20H you come with me for the global premiere of the series!"

The watch party was a spectacular hit, and it enabled the streamer to receive a viewership of more than 250k fans, peaking at 540k concurrent viewers.

Casimiro has spent 2,078 hours streaming in the Just Chatting category. He is also known for playing a variety of games on stream, including titles such as FIFA, Among Us, Fall Guys, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
