Twitch Streamer of the Week

Every Monday we put one Twitch streamer in the spotlight: the one who has shown up for the most raid trains. It's our way of saying thanks to the people who keep the raid train community moving, and of sending new viewers their way.

What winning means

• The top spot on our homepage. Your spotlight sits directly under the homepage header for the whole week, so it's one of the first things every visitor sees.
• Custom promo art with your name. We design a cover-style graphic around your name and your brand. If your profile photo shows your face, you're the star of it.
• A write-up about your channel. A short feature on what you stream and how you show up for other streamers, written from your profile, your raid trains, and your teams.
• Links that send viewers to you. Your Twitch channel, your R3dLabs profile, and the links on your profile, one click away for everyone who stops by.
• A heads-up in your inbox. We email you when you're picked, with your promo art and a link to the homepage, so you can share it with your community.

How to win

• Join raid trains. Claim slots on raid trains on R3dLabs. Every raid train you took part in during the past year counts once, however many slots you had on it. Cancelled raid trains don't count.
• We pick every Monday. Each Monday at 00:00 UTC the streamer with the highest score becomes Streamer of the Week, and the spotlight changes over once their promo art is ready.
• Your score is your raid trains. Your score starts as the number of raid trains you joined. Premium and Super Power members get a 25% bonus on top.
• Everyone gets a turn. After you win, you can't win again for 3 months. After that your score is 15% lower until a year has passed since your win, then you're back on equal footing.

The fine print

• You need an R3dLabs account linked to Twitch, and at least one raid train in the window.
• The repeat-winner reduction only looks at your most recent win, so it never stacks, and it's gone entirely a year after that win.
• Ties go to the streamer with more raid trains, then whoever raided most recently, then whoever joined R3dLabs first.
• If nobody qualifies in a given week, the current winner keeps the spotlight.

Make your spotlight shine

• Use a profile photo that shows your face, so the promo art can feature you.
• Upload a banner. Its colors and mood set the look of your promo art.
• Write a bio and add your links, so your write-up and quick links have plenty to work with.
