Today there are thousands of people streaming on Twitch. Hundreds of these streamers are now playing Apex Legends. With so many options, it’s hard to know what channel to select when you want to watch other people game. This guide will take a look at some of the top Apex Legends streamers and offer you some insight into who may be best suited for you. To do this we will divide streamers into four separate categories:
- Highly skilled streamers will serve you well for watching win after win.
- Entertaining streamers will deliver gut-busting laughter and great entertainment value.
- Educational streamers are highly skilled players that emphasize helping their viewers improve their game.
- All-around streamers do everything well. They win games, make you laugh, and teach you a few things too.
If streamers stick to a consistent schedule, that information will be provided. This way you can select a streamer that fits the time of day that is most convenient for you. Some of the names on these lists you will already know and recognize. Others you may not but are worth checking out.
Two quick notes before we go any further: The first is that many streamers play multiple titles. We’ve selected streamers who all play Apex Legends on stream regularly, but not necessarily exclusively. It’s worth having a few favorites in case your go-to choice is playing a different title that day. The second is that almost everyone on this list could easily have been slotted into multiple categories, as they are all very talented and entertaining. That being said, we have put streamers into the category that makes them truly stand out from the rest.
With all of that out of the way, let’s get into the list!
