A new weekend of all records for the ZEvent. The video game marathon organized each year from Montpellier by ZeratoR and Dach has raised more than 10 million euros (10,065,480 euros precisely). Fifty-one streamers took part this year in the event organized by ZeratoR and Dach and broadcast live on the Twitch platform. French streaming stars (as well as some famous Youtubers) and online players competed for 55 hours in multiplayer games.
Streamers are at the head of communities by definition very playful and ready to mobilize to break records. Spectators also motivated by donation goals. These challenges in the challenge help to drive up the prize pool: streamers set donation amounts and commit to different feats if they are achieved. After 17 minutes, Friday, the Z Event had already collected 100,000 euros! “By mobilizing all together, we can move mountains […]. A big bravo ”, reacted Emmanuel Macron on his Twitter account.
A quarter of annual donations from the NGO Action Against Hunger
This considerable sum will be donated to the NGO Action Against Hunger. Apart from the subsidies which represent about 80% of its operating income (according to the figures of the year 2019), these 10 million representing more than a quarter of donations, bequests, sponsorship and other private contributions over a year paid to the association recognized as being of public utility.
Over 10M raised in 50 hours. That’s the power of gaming and community right there.

Another record was broken during a live on Twitch in France: 453,000 people connected simultaneously, exceeding the previous record held by Squeezie, another streamer. This new record was reached during the presence of Mexican actress Andrea Pedrero, invited by Inoxtag.
But the sexist remarks of the young 19-year-old youtubeur, who also made the young woman (who obviously does not speak French) repeat salacious remarks, against the backdrop of a schoolboy joke, led to the immediate reaction of several streamers on the spot. . In particular Ultia, very recovered, like some of the players on social networks. Their reaction prompted Inoxtag to apologize on the streamer’s channel, explaining that it was a game he and the actress played regularly.
