With over 53 million subscribers on his channel JuegaGerman, Germán Garmendia has built a massive and engaged community through his humour, authenticity and ability to connect with new generations through titles like Minecraft, Free Fire, Among Us and Fortnite. His impact on gamer culture goes far beyond numbers: he has been a gateway into gaming for millions of young people in Latin America, redefining how digital entertainment is consumed and experienced.

Before becoming a gaming icon, Germán rose to global fame with his channel HolaSoyGerman, launched in 2011. There, he mixed everyday anecdotes with humour, reaching over 41 million subscribers and surpassing nine billion views. It was the most-subscribed channel in Latin America and the second-largest in the world at the time. In 2016, Germán stopped posting on that channel to fully focus on JuegaGerman, cementing his transition into the gaming world.
