Eccentric strategy nerd from German gaming magazine is now a professional Twitch streamer

After considerable success, a popular content creator is now fully committed as a Twitch streamer. And best of all: MeinMMO knows him personally! We introduce you to our GameStar colleague Maurice Weber.

Who is this about?

• Maurice Weber started out as an editor at GameStar and is now fully involved as a streamer on Twitch with his own channel.
• Maurice has already made a name for himself as a personality at GameStar, which he is now transferring to live streaming.
• He is best known for his relaxed, often cheeky nature and his affinity for strategy games.

Who were the first successful streamers on Twitch?

This is the streamer: Maurice Weber has actually been on Twitch for some time. With his own Twitch channel, he is now also part of the Webedia network, to which MeinMMO also belongs.

If you visit the common Twitch channel of GameStar, GamePro and MeinMMO more often, MAX—Monsters And Explosions, Maurice may already know. Here he often appears as host and recurring face and entertains with his punch lines and opinions.

Also at Find Your Next Game, the joint event of GameStar, GamePro and MeinMMO, Maurice is one of the big names. Here he presents new games for you together with our team of hosts.

Incidentally, Maurice was originally an editor at GameStar and still appears there when the opportunity arises. He started as an intern at GameStar in 2012, then as a trainee in 2015. He later became a video producer there and acquired a number of skills that still help him today.

Now he is a professional Twitch streamer. And his twitch stats are impressive. Noisy twitch tracker In the last 3 months, Maurice has:

• 379 hours streamed
• Reached 46,720 total followers
• 11,781 spectators at the peak
• 1,246 spectators on average

A strategy nerd becomes a star on Twitch with big events

What makes him so special? Maurice is known for his eloquence and also a good dose of cynicism. He always has a strong statement ready and is not stingy with pointed remarks.

When I told him on his stream that I would be writing about him, he said in his refreshingly humble way, “I’m always happy when word gets out about my rising world domination, of course!”

The fact that he can entertain his viewers so well is partly due to the fact that he combines the editorial know-how of an editor with the composure of a show host. Dawid Hallmann, Webedia’s Gaming Director and the founder of MeinMMO, explains:

Maurice has the royal credentials to stand out as a creator and become one of the biggest on Twitch. He combines a uniquely compelling and entertaining character with highly developed editorial expertise, which he developed as a journalist at GameStar.

What is Maurice showing? Maurice Weber has also made a name for himself as a lover of a genre that in itself serves more of a niche: real-time and turn-based strategy. Recurring titles on his channel include Crusader Kings 3, Age of Empires and most recently Elden Ring.

In particular, the events that he organizes with other major streamers in German-speaking countries regularly attract tens of thousands of viewers. Particularly well-known: the intrigues in which he plays with streamers like Shurjoka Crusader Kings 3 partly in full disguise and fully immerses himself in the medieval drama.

You can now regularly see content about many different games on Maurice’s channel and enjoy his easy-going nature. MeinMMO wishes you good luck!
