The amount of viewers Sideshow pulled while he had visa issues but still wanted to stream OWL was insane for not even being allowed to show anything but his face and it basically launched the whole companion stream thing that Valorant allows and OWL will still not allow anyone to show anything but the scoreboard on their companion streams. And he still pulls those numbers when he streams.
