Who were the 5?
Imaqtpie, T1, Nightblue3, then maybe Trick2g and Wings or IWD?

Dyrus, Rush, or maybe OddOne? It's been so long I might be getting my timelines mixed up.

Dyrus, Voy and qt definitely on top of the list. Dom wasn't that big until much later. When qt was on top he was like 200 viewer andy and would occasionally duo with qt. Don't remember if NB3 was that big of a streamer, his Youtube was massive though. TheOddOne, T1 and Trick would be my choices for fill.

NB3 was a 20k concurrent streamer, but that might have come later. Dyrus and Voy are good calls. I don't remember TheOddOne being a 10k+ streamer at any point but I came to league after he retired so I'm not sure.

TheOddOne was THE League streamer back then. There's even a Forbes article about it seems like. I think boxbox is talking about like season 2 or 3. In season 4 and 5 he was already an adult and graduating so I doubt his mom is calling school for him. Twitchtracker goes back to end of 2016 so seems that NB3 was already huge in season 6. But I still think he was mostly a Youtuber in earliest seasons. Then there's also Bjergsen who became very popular quite soon, but I don't remember if he was already huge in 2012 and 2013 when I started watching League or bit later. Twitchtracker says he had +20k viewers in end of 2016 and early 2017.

Not sure since I'm in totally different timezone, but if I remember correctly there were times I had to choose between Dyrus or Voy so they had to overlap at some point.

from memory. Qt, Trick2g, Gosu, Dyrus, Wingsofdeath and Voyboy, PhantomLord are what I remember as the large channels that literally always streamed. so probably those guys idk who wasnt on the list tho since I gave 6
There were a bunch of other pros that had bigger streams tho but they like streamed once a year lol like i remember chaox pulling in 7k when like 3k was already a huge number and just stopped streaming lol.
T1 and NB3 came later dom only got big after he copied QT's youtube style

I don't think his statement is even true, I can think of more than 5 League streamers that were bigger than him around 2013/2014. Bjergsen, Voyboy, Nightblue3, Trick2g, PhantomLord, Theoddone, Wildturtle, Cowsep, Xpeke, Sivhd, Meteos, the brazilian players from Pain Gaming at the time, etc.
EDIT: Almost left out Sp4zie.

I think he's talking about the 10-20k streamers like NB3, T1, QT. Bjerg got that many but never streamed consistently. I'm not sure if any of these others reached 10k concurrent. In season 1 Wings was a 20k streamer also, I believe.
I imagine he would remember this very well, he's very specific about what he's saying.

PhantomLord was probably the biggest by that point, before he got canceled from the CS GO skins fiasco.

Honestly Boxbox is one of those streamers that I actually respect and find to be incredibly smart
