People who's streams I do want to hear about:
- people who have spent ridiculously large amounts of money on POE
- people who have spent a lot of their own time and effort promoting the game to increase the player base
- people who create guides and builds for the game
- any member of the GGG team
- people that supply the GGG team with the drugs they use to come up with the batshit amazing stuff they keep adding to POE

Guys help I can not find the upvote button

eh, people really do care about status don't they.

Some random guy plays PoE, nobody cares

A famous person plays PoE, it makes front page news on it's website

I never cared for "let's play" whoever is playing, whether it be kripparian, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Miyamoto, my grandma or ISIS

Man, I would totally watch Arnold play PoE.

I'd be there with you, Arch :D

I would think your whole guild would!

I would have put the streamer first and then her boyfriend/world famous baseball player second.

The way it's worded now looks a little bit desperate and attention grabbing. We're talking about a very niche game here (remember GGG made it to be this way) and advertising it with famous stars / athletes seems out of place. PoE is not a soft drink.

Also I'm not quite sure what the commentary will be like, aside from "the new content is pretty cool".
As a professional athlete he most definitely doesn't have the time to commit serious hours to the game, so what will he have to say about balance changes/builds/leagues/PvP, anything that would be remotely interesting? So yeah, they should have picked someone with close ties to the game, not some random gamer, famous or not.

Bex, pls post Chris's twitch channel, ty. :)
