Call of Duty sees boost on Twitch thanks to Verdansk map
According to StreamElement's report, which was done in partnership with Rainmaker.gg, Twitch saw a total of 1.573 billion hours watched in April, less than even February despite have two more days. For daily hours watched, Rainmaker's data shows viewers watched about 52 million hours total per day, lower than any other month in April.
Or Perry, StreamElements CEO, attributed the viewership spike to the re-launch of the much-beloved Verdansk map. 'The highlight of April was Call of Duty: Warzone experiencing a whopping 146% surge in viewership on Twitch, driven by the return of an updated version of the fan favorite Verdansk map. Nostalgia is a powerful tool because it makes things feel instantly familiar, with Warzone's latest release standing out by reestablishing that emotional connection while upgrading rather than simply recycling old content.'
The rest of the report covers the list of the top 10 streamers on Twitch. Caedrel remains at the top of the list, thanks to his League of Legends commentary streams — he covered the LCK Spring Split in April, and also received the EMEA Masters Trophy his team, Los Ratones, won at the winter event. It's his third month

TikTokers, YouTubers, Twitch streamers, podcasters, and all manner of creators named to TIME's list of the most influential digital voices gathered to celebrate on July 10 in New York City. Food influencers Keith Lee and Jordan Howlett and Hot Ones host Sean Evans, fashion critic Nicky Campbell, former college gymnast Livvy Dunne, and Giggly Squad podcasters Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo, and more creators featured on TIME's list met and mingled over passed sushi and cocktails like the OOTD-tini, a lychee martini, and the Editor's Choice, a spiced-up margarita. Beauty influencer Mikayla Nogueira visited with V Spehar, who dissects the latest headlines on their TikTok account Under the Desk News. Fresh off their appearances on the Season 2 reunion of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, star Taylor Frankie Paul caught up with host Nick Viall. SL Rockfish, who posts grammar lessons under the handle @englishmakesnosense, posed with her husband inside a giant mock-up of a TIME cover. And 12-year-old celebrity interviewer Taylen Biggs—one of the most sought-after figures in the room—made the rounds with her dad by her side. 'You are shaping culture in real time—through storytelling, humor, vulnerability, creativity, and connection. In a moment when influence is often measured in clicks, your work reminds us that it can also be measured in impact too,' TIME's Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs said in his welcome remarks before passing the mic to DJ Eva Gutowski, also known as the musical artist MARISOL, who performed an energizing set. As the event reached its peak, one attendee took a break with his wife on a bench in a corner, out of the fray.

How to Watch Sinner vs Djokovic on a Free Channel
The Wimbledon semi-finals are approaching fast, and many are looking for ways to watch Sinner vs. Djokovic on a free channel. Paid channels are always an option, but not everyone has deep enough pockets. Fortunately, there's a way to live stream Sinner vs. Djokovic online for free, no matter where you are. This post explains how to watch the match and enjoy the Wimbledon finals without spending a dime. Read on for all the details. Have you heard of BBC iPlayer? Most Brits use BBC iPlayer, the BBC's video-on-demand service, to enjoy Wimbledon live streams free of charge. Since it's a British streaming service, BBC iPlayer offers top-quality footage with witty English commentary. To watch BBC iPlayer, you must have an account. As hinted before, you don't need to subscribe, as BBC iPlayer is free. Once you make a free account, log in, find the Sinner vs. Djokovic live stream, and enjoy. The problem, however, is that BBC iPlayer works exclusively in the UK. If you're overseas, you'll encounter a geo-restriction message, even if you have an account. Many people have fought to overcome the problem; fortunately, they found a solution, likely a decade ago. Watch Sinner vs. Djokovic With NordVPN The solution is to use a VPN. A VPN lets you connect to a remote server abroad and alter your online location. This is facilitated through an IP change, which makes you appear somewhere else. NordVPN, the most renowned VPN company, is often people's first choice. It offers over hundres of UK servers, no traffic limits, and top speeds to stream Sinner vs. Djokovic for free. Here's how NordVPN works. Once you subscribe to it, the user must install its application; it supports all devices and can be used simultaneously on up to ten devices. After that, the user must connect to the UK server, which will assign them a UK IP. As the old IP address is hidden and replaced by the British one, the user 'poses' as a Brit. Once they visit BBC iPlayer, they can freely log in and watch Sinner vs. Djokovic on this free channel. It's a foolproof solution. NordVPN also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee for all plans. This allows the user to watch Sinner vs. Djokovic for free with a refund. However, finals are immediately after, and you have 30 days to get your money back, so it's wise to watch everything before (and if) you back out. As you know, paid streaming services offer extensive coverage of the Wimbledon 2025. If you don't want to use NordVPN or find the buy-and-refund process tedious, here are some alternatives: Their outrageous prices and geo-restrictions make them suited to a select group of users. All three platforms are US-based and therefore work only within the US borders. Most notably, they cost more than NordVPN. Hulu + Live TV induces monthly costs equivalent to NordVPN's total two-year price. Plus, neither offers a lengthy free trial or a money-back guarantee, so once you use your credit card, your money is lost forever. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide. Most people would rather use a free channel that streams Sinner vs. Djokovic live than spend a fortune. Try NordVPN Risk-Free for 30 Days
