Popular Twitch streamer Dafran received $20,000 worth of gifted subs after a viewer bought the 1000 sub package four times, just so the creator would return to Overwatch 2.
Daniel ‘Dafran’ Francesca is best known for his skills in Overwatch, but he’s made a name for himself in just about any shooter he picks up.
The Danish FPS prodigy went pro in Overwatch before returning to streaming, and he’s pursued numerous side quests along the way, including becoming a farmer, a construction worker, and even a dishwasher.
He may not change career paths again, though, because one viewer dished out some big bucks to get Dafran to put Marvel Rivals down and play Overwatch again.

On December 13, Dafran was playing Marvel Rivals when a viewer, Theetoko, suddenly dropped one of Twitch’s new 1000 sub bombs.

In late November, Twitch gave viewers the ability to gift 1000 subscriptions at once. While this would typically cost $6,000, the 1K bundle comes with a $1,000 discount.
The viewer didn’t stop there. After the first 1K, they went a second time and third, and a fourth, donating a whopping 4000 subs, equal to $20,000.
Francesca was blown away, especially because the fan’s request was that he “go play Overwatch.”
“I will do it,” Dafran agreed.
