The world of esports and gaming is one of ever-growing popularity and Twitch, the internet's largest live-streaming platform for all things gaming and esports (as well as plenty of other things), has a large part to play in its widespread appeal.
In Ireland, much the same is true, and the nation boasts a wide spread of streamers with dedicated followings large and small, although a lot of the time the general public rarely hear about them. This is why we’ve put together a list in no particular order of seven great Irish Twitch streamers you need to know about.
7. Audrey_fn
Audrey is an Irish streamer who mainly streams games like 'Fortnite', 'The Sims', 'Left4Dead 2' and 'Phasmsaphobia'. Affiliated with the GamerStore Legion, Audrey streams with viewers on Saturdays and has built quite the interactive community.

6. MissLunarMagick
Broadcasting live from County Clare since 2013, MissLunarMagick is a variety streamer but tends to focus on open-world RPGs and single-player games.
