Yes... but. Ask someone who actually has a channel (ie, not me), but monetization of these things is hard. And constantly changing. Also, it requires a regular stream of content. The AGA is closer to that, the EGF almost missing. And even so, the AGA video, already recorded, of the 4th transatlantic match took 2 months to upload. That method is poorly monetized: viewers need a certain regularity, AFAIK.

Take care.

I know that and what you say is true. But it´s not about, that you can already live from it, it´s about having a start, where you can build on. Also is Twitch good for regular sponsoring. Some events got a few hundredthousand viewers on Twitch in total and can be seen as a video, after stream first on Twitch, than on Youtube, where more people look on it. Thats an argument, when you are asking a company for a sponsorship.
Even here we wouldn´t talk about large amounts of money at the beginning. But to find a base, with the potential sponsor, you can first offer a moderate sum, where they are seen by a big crowd. When they trust the stream more, it´s the base for asking to extend the sponsoring.

Nearly all things start small.
