EpicStun

In Germany and in the YouTube scene in general, the RPG sandbox game Minecraft was pretty big in hype for a long time. This hype around the game lasted for a very long time and was used by quite a few YouTubers to gain notoriety. A few years ago, this was then replaced by the game “Fortnite” and is now very popular again. However, some YouTube channels specializing in Minecraft were not deterred by this loss of hype. So also the channel “EpicStun” which is quite well known in the meantime. Yet little is known about this channel to the masses.

Generally speaking, the channel “EpicStun” is a German-language gaming channel that specializes in the RPG sandbox game Minecraft. However, he didn’t start his career with general gaming videos, but specialized in Let’s Plays.

The ambiguities surrounding the “EpicStun” channel begin with the protagonist’s name. His real name is Matteo, but his surname is still unknown. These ambiguities then continue with Matteo’s date of birth and age. For example, it is only known that he was born in Freiburg on 15 March. The year is however unknown whereby its age also cannot be determined concretely. However, based on his person, it’s safe to assume he should be in his mid-20s.

Matteo founded his channel on May 29, 2013. Since then, only videos around the game Minecraft appear. This also reflects his first video, which was released on 05 April 2013 and was titled: “Tutorial 1/3 DustMC Bow-Bash: EnderBow / Tips & Tricks !”. At that time, Matteo also published traditional Let’s Plays in the classical sense on his channel “EpicStun”. Over time, however, it evolved into him primarily posting introduction and tip videos related to the game Minecraft on his channel. Still, traditional Let’s Plays weren’t entirely cancelled either.

It should also be mentioned that the channel “EpicStun” was slow to gain popularity in the beginning. In 2017, for example, he received the Silver Playbutton as an award for reaching 100,000 subscribers on his channel. Thus it becomes clear that he was able to reach the first milestone only after several years of strenuous work. However, this also shows perseverance and consistent work and thus speaks clearly for Matteo. However, the development of the canal really took off as it progressed. This way Matteo was able to get in touch with other, bigger YouTubers of the German gaming scene. For example, on February 27, 2018, YouTuber “rewinside” posted a video titled: “EPICSTUN visits us LIVE at UFO.” Especially from such videos of his colleagues channel “EpicStun” could benefit very well.

Furthermore, the channel “EpicStun” is under contract with the rather unknown network “UNYQUE” and is marketed by them.

If you take a look at the channel “EpicStun” today, you will see that Matteo has remained true to his concept. He still publishes new videos every day that are all about the game Minecraft. His videos have now earned him over 932,000 subscribers, so he’s not far from his next milestone.
