Ewokttv’s channel soared after popular streamer Timothy ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar and others hosted her channel, turning her Twitch Chat into the most wholesome place on the site.

The rising star streams under the title “Pro Deaf Girl Gamer,” and uses a Sound Visualization while playing Fortnite that cuts off the game’s audio. But people would be sorely mistaken if they thought she was getting views because of her condition.

At the time of writing, Ewokttv has more than 2,100 subscribers and amassed north of 22,000 followers while retaining over 1,000 viewers by consistently placing at the top of Solo games

So far she has five wins in a stream that’s lasted only an hour and a half.

Though her popularity exploded after big streamers like Mizkif raided her stream, resulting in a massive sub/follow train, it seems like a Ewokttv was able to retain the spotlight with her insane skills in the battle royale.

Ewokttv’s Twitch Chat is habitually left amazed at her quick decision making, pinpoint accuracy and crazy build/edit speed.

The young gun has made it abundantly clear that she wants to join Team SoloMid’s Fortnite Jr. program. Since her channel’s growth she has played with TSM Owen ‘wintrrz’ Wolfram and has easily held her own in games.
