With the worldwide craze over Fortnite only growing by the day, it seems that records are being broken every time a stream fires up. The latest record comes not from Twitch, however, with Spanish YouTuber Rubiu5 breaking over one million concurrent viewers on his stream today.
Only days after Ninja set the mark with Fortnite, with over 1.1 million concurrent viewers Rubiu5 has absolutely smashed the record as the largest individual gaming stream of all time. And it's now on YouTube, not Twitch.

Rubiu5 was streaming a Fortnite tournament which featured several high profile Latin American streamers and YouTubers, but the main draw came from his own fan base, with over twenty-eight million YouTube subscribers to his own channel.
