Last week, YouTuber elrubius put out a call saying he wanted 100 of the top Spanish-speaking Fortnite players to get together and play in the one game. That game went down earlier tonight, streamed live on YouTube, and over 1 million people tuned into watch.
Chavales, esto puede que sea una locura, pero si sale puede ser divertido de cojones. Quiero juntar a 100 Youtubers TOP de habla hispana para reventarnos en Fortnite esta semana. Ya hay algunos apuntados, pero si estais interesados escribidme por twitter. VA A SER LEGENDARIO.

The game, organised for fun, brought around 1.1 million to elrubius’ YouTube channel going by screengrabs, almost double the figure achieved on Twitch last week by Ninja, Drake and pals.
