The e-sports phenomenon - retirement at 20!

In 2019, it has been estimated that the total number of regular e-sports viewers will grow to 454 million and revenues will increase to over $1 billion. Quite a few professional gamers, starting their careers in their teens, may retire at an age when others are just starting their first jobs.

E-sports streaming - build your popularity!

What does it take to become a popular streamer?

The most important thing is to find the right topic for the audience. Besides, you need to communicate well with the audience and comment on your game in a very interesting way, so that people on the other side simply want to listen to it. This will not be achieved without the right equipment. If you want to become recognizable - build a community, regularly publish fascinating content and invest in proper equipment. Godox accessories may not help you win the game, but with us, you can create a great story about the game and thus convince your audience!

Most famous streamers

In theory, anyone can become a streamer. The challenge is to become a real star. The most popular streamers have more than 10 million observers, and the record audience following the game live was 600 thousand people.

It is worth noting that in addition to properly assembled equipment, factors such as charisma and an interesting personality also play a role.

Gamers like lists, consisting of "TOP" lists. So we prepared for you a list of TOP10 Godox products that will help you become a streamer:

ES45

The Godox ES45 LED lighting kit is the first choice that comes to mind if you just think of streamers. It was made for them - it emits a soft light that accentuates skin tones, it can be controlled by an app or a controller, and it also comes with a dedicated desk mount.

CL-10 RGB

The foreground is important, but do not forget about the background. Instead of using banal lighting, it is better to reach for the RGB effect light, which illuminates the background in such a way that it creates an atmosphere consistent with the game.

LED308

The lightweight and compact panel is a versatile tool that can both work as a main light, counter light, fill light, and more. You can power it from the mains or take it outdoors thanks to the NP-F type battery slot. So many possibilities!

SL-100W

You'll have more control with the ability to mount modifiers with the LED Continuous Light. A powerful light source combined with a universal Bowens mount will be just right if you're serious about your streamer career.

Flexible Panel FL100

You don't have much space, you don't want to invest in additional modifiers, and yet strong and soft light is important to you? Flexible LED panels will be perfect. Adjustable light temperature, high power, low weight and size. Other streamers will be jealous.

M1 RGB

If you value convenience and need a small but clever RGB panel, the M1 will be the perfect choice. The pocket-sized lamp lets you adjust the hue and saturation to get one of the many colors in RGB mode, and the color temperature can be adjusted from 2500 to 8500 K to match the ambient light source.

TL30 K2 / K4

Surprise your audience with creativity! Let interesting content go hand in hand with an impressive setting. Two or four light tubes will provide more possibilities than a single light source. Thanks to the built-in magnet, simply find any metal surface to attach the TL30 to and illuminate the stage from an unusual location. Mounting threads on both ends allow it to be mounted on lighting stands. Using the connectors, you can create many fascinating lighting designs by combining multiple TL30 tubes.

Geniusmic

If we've taken care of the visual side, then sound is a natural next step. The Geniusmic is a compact and lightweight microphone that plugs into your smartphone, providing high quality sound and noise cancellation. It is ideal for vloggers, live streamers or mobile videographers. Available with 3.5mm or USB-C input.

VD-MIC

If you're recording/streaming with a camera or camcorder, the VD-MIC is worth considering. It's a simple microphone that allows you to focus on what you want to convey, while the VD-MIC takes care of the audio quality.

Movelink

A new wireless, compact and ultra-lightweight audio transmission system. It's ready to use right out of the box, and for the discerning creative user, it offers many useful accessories and expansion options. An ideal choice if, in addition to streaming, you happen to go outdoors, conduct interviews, or do event coverage. Maybe a career as a gaming journalist is just for you?
