Twitch streamer ‘SauronWins’ has shown how he looks on camera for the first time, and in doing so he shocked viewers by revealing his amazing physique.
It’s not that rare for content creators and influencers to hide their faces, sometimes a face cam just doesn’t suit their content or they want to remain anonymous because of possible harassment.
Some even integrate anonymity into their online personas, like Corpse Husband or TheSkiMaskGirl, constantly teasing fans with partial face reveals.
SauronWins went the opposite way as his face reveal, as it pretty much jumpstarted his potential rise to popularity.
Clips of the streamer revealing his face and impressive physique to the perfectly picked music from the Ghost in the Shell movie made their way around the internet, garnering 224,500 views on Twitch and making it to the top-rated posts of the month on the LivestreamFail subreddit.

While this number doesn’t sound big compared to titans of the platform, it previously took Sauron six months of streaming for upwards of 8 hours every other day to gain this much traction.
