NoWay4u: How did he become the biggest German LoL streamer on Twitch?
Who is actually the Twitch streamer NoWay4u_sir? How did he become the largest German LoL streamer and the second largest LoL streamer in the world? We at MeinMMO show you the entire success story of Frederik “NoWay4u” Hinteregger.
NoWay4u is a Twitch streamer that mainly focuses on the MOBA League Of Legends. This not only made him famous, it paved the way for his career. In the meantime he is the largest German LoL streamer and ranked 10th among the largest streamers in Germany overall.
It’s going so well at NoWay: The 29-year-old NoWay4u mostly plays League of Legends in his livestreams. This is of course not unusual for a former League Of Legends professional. However, the range that NoWay4u achieves in comparison to others is enormous.
Around 20,000 fans watch him play League of Legends at his best. For comparison, the statistics of other well-known German League streamers:
- Argurin: 10,000 spectators
- TolkinLoL: 8,000 spectators
- RvNxMango: 7,800 spectators
- Maxim: 3,000 spectators
In the UK, too, there is only one competitor when it comes to watchtime: Baiano (via sullygnome.com). In the last 7 days this came to just over a million hours, NoWay4u_Sir to 760,000.
As a German streamer one of the largest in the world, NoWay4u made it!
Where are its roots? NoWay4u started during the first season of League of Legends. He was so enthusiastic about the game that he didn’t play anything other than LoL for weeks.
The time quickly turned out to be invested and not wasted: In 2012 he joined his first e-sports team LogiX, which has been followed by more than 14 other teams to date. The days of professional league tournaments are over, but NoWay still plays semi-professionally in the e-sports team NoNeedOrga (NNO).
His internationally used nickname “German Aimbot” has also been used to this day. He earned this nickname through his excellent skills with the LoL champion Xerath. In various own and fan-made highlight videos it is clear where the “aimot” in his name comes from:
That’s why NoWay no longer wants to be a professional: NoWay only has the only contact points with professional esports in an advisory capacity at Aldi Gaming. His career has not simply fizzled out, on the contrary: With a win rate of around 57%, he is still one of the best mid-laners in Germany and should still be a sought-after player.
No, the decision to quit was made by the 29-year-old streamer himself a few years ago, because life as a professional is stressful, requires tough discipline and requires a lot of work.
Streaming, paired with semi-professional e-sports are simply more fun for him, reveals NoWay in an interview with colleague Maxim (via youtube.com). In the same interview, Maxim asked NoWay4u about the infamous Bild article.
What about the article in the picture?
Bild asked NoWay4u about three interviews, one of which they received. However, this article should remain the first and only that NoWay should be involved in. However, this is not due to the quality or the content of the article. The streamer clearly says about the content:
The Bild-Zeitung is of course always difficult. (…) the article itself, once you’ve read it, isn’t that bad at all.
Still, NoWay calls the interview and article one of his “biggest faux pas”. The reason for this is, on the one hand, a paywall behind which the article is hidden. On the other hand, he may have given the interview rashly, frivolously, in order to present gaming and e-sports to more people who have so far had no points of overlap with the topic.
NoWay4u plans the future until retirement: How should it work?
New formats in sight? In addition to health, NoWay also wishes that he can continue to stream for a long time in the future. He remains realistic. It can’t always go as perfectly as it does now. Streamers, YouTubers and influencers have to constantly expect that it’s over. Good advice: save and invest.
NoWay would continue to do its job even in bad times. Until it’s grown old and gray. Then he would like to slowly move his content from gaming in the gambler’s room to fairy tales on the veranda – he says that as a joke, but who knows what the future has in store for him?
Not only NoWay4u has had a steep career, the German super entertainer Knossi can always inspire with his style and ideas. You can find out how Knossi managed to become known here: German streamer Knossi by far in first place on Twitch – that’s how he did it.
