I think what made Hikaru a controversial and not always the most liked classical player makes a perfect combination for a popular streamer. Quick mind, sometimes moody, easily tilted, very competitive and sometimes opinionated. I wasn't his biggest fan when he was top 5 classical player but today I am a happy subscriber to his stream and always cheer for him in rapid/blitz tournaments.
