EA/TimTheTatman/DrDisrespectDr Disrespect isn’t happy after being left out of Battlefield 6’s top streamer rankings — even as TimTheTatman hits his biggest viewership milestone in five years.
Battlefield 6’s first Open Beta weekend pulled in monster numbers, even breaking Call of Duty’s all-time Steam player count record. Early access was tied to Twitch Drops, driving hundreds of thousands to the platform to secure keys.
According to StreamsCharts, TimTheTatman led the way with 2.88 million hours watched. Over 80% of that came from his first early access stream, which marked his highest peak since returning to Twitch in late 2024.
Dr Disrespect, however, didn’t make the cut for lists ranking the creators, and he wasn’t impressed.

According to Sports Illustrated, Dr Disrespect took issue with the fact he was left off a list for the top BF6 streamers.
Quoting the rankings on X, Doc wrote: “We had 1.1 million views with only 18 hours of game time and NO DROPS… but who’s really counting, right?”
The “no drops” jab referred to the fact that Doc’s audience tuned in without any in-game incentives, unlike Twitch streamers. He went on to praise his Champions Club as “the realest community in the business,” before deleting the post hours later for unknown reasons.
EAThe omission is partly explained by the fact that the rankings were Twitch-focused. Doc hasn’t streamed there since his permanent ban in June 2020. These days, his broadcasts are on YouTube and Rumble.
Doc’s Twitch ban remains one of streaming’s most infamous controversies. While former Twitch employees later revealed it stemmed from messages to an underage individual, the streamer has since blamed the platform, calling it infected by a “woke mind virus.”
Regardless, Battlefield 6 is already shaping up to be one of the franchise’s biggest hits. Steam pre-orders have now passed 800,000, putting it on track for the largest launch in series history.
