A young dynasty grows "longer". The game's top YouTuber three-peats - crossing one million YouTube subscribers in just nine months - while another fan favorite takes a break.

Each month, Lootcakes ranks the top Clash Royale YouTubers by popularity and highlights their notable recent content for your viewing pleasure. This edition covers the period ending 8/13.

NOTE: Due to the relatively low percentage of Clash Royale's top creators who regularly stream the game (~15%), we've decided to eliminate streaming from our scoring system. To the CR streamers still carrying the torch - we appreciate your efforts! If overall streaming activity picks up, we'll consider reintroducing it into the mix.





#10: Orange Juice

Last Month's Ranking: #20





We're kicking things off with a YouTuber jumping ten ranks to score his second top 10 finish in four months. On August 17th, Yarn (the leader of Orange Juice) hosted a Clash Royale gathering at a restaurant/bar in Vancouver, Canada. Judging by his tweet , it was more packed than he anticipated!

Scoring System:



Each edition, we begin by compiling a list of the top 20 Clash Royale YouTubers (in the English language) since last edition based on the views generated by their top Clash Royale video upload during the relevant period. The YouTube list is sourced from YouTube search. Creators on the list are awarded 0-100 points in each of 2 categories: views of new Clash Royale YouTube videos, and new YouTube subscribers. The data from the 2 categories is sourced from YouTube and Social Blade ( socialblade.com ). Points are calculated according to the following steps:



(1) For each category, total points available are calculated by multiplying 100 by a fraction: the total number of creators active on the relevant platform (numerator) divided by the total number of creators on the list (denominator). 'Active' in the New YouTube Subscribers category is defined as having uploaded at least 1 video of the tracked game during the current period AND having generated 100 or more subscribers . 'Active' in the New YouTube Views category is defined as having uploaded at least 1 video of the tracked game during the current period. For example, if 90% of creators generated 100 or more YouTube subscribers , then 90 points are available in the New YouTube Subscribers category.

(2) Points awarded to a creator in each category are then calculated by multiplying the results of step (1) by a fraction: the creator's individual performance in that category (numerator) divided by the total performance of all creators on the list in that category (denominator).

(3) Points calculated from each of the 2 categories in step (2) are then totaled up to determine the creator's final score.
