In the big world of mobile games, Clash Royale is one of the biggest, and one of Clash Royale’s biggest players is our very own Chase Rathet ‘27.
Clash Royale was released by Supercell in 2016, a prequel to Clash of Clans, one of Supercell’s biggest games. Clash Royale brings in millions of people a day, and with that comes many fan pages and content accounts.
Clash Royale is a game of strategy. You must memorize the cards, their elixir, and what they counter. Clash Royale is played by placing your troops to take the tower of your opponent, and then also defending your tower from them. The wits that you need and different strategies are really what led to the blow-up of Clash Royale.
In the past year, Clash Royale has had a big revival with 4.2 million daily users since November 2024. A big part of this growth is due to fan accounts and creators. One account that has experienced tremendous growth is Rathet’s account, known as Chaselovesebarbs. Rathet has 30 thousand followers and 7.7 million likes across all his videos in the past 2 months since he started it.
Chase’s content includes live streams, edits, and opinion videos on the game Clash Royale. Chase’s biggest video that has become well-known to many is “The Mega Knight Edit,” with a total of 19.6 million views and 2.6 million likes. This has been talked about by huge creators like Jynxi and JuicyJ.
“It’s been fun to be able to make videos, and I enjoy seeing the comments and watching my account grow,” Rathet said.
He has had a lot of growth recently, hitting 30 thousand followers, and he really enjoys how he can express himself through his videos. He also likes to talk and share his videos with friends at school or online.
It has also opened up a new opportunity for him to make money. Once you hit 10,000 followers, you can sign up for the creator rewards program, and you can get paid for likes, views, and comments on all his videos over a minute long.
“I’m hoping to collab with more people and build my connections in the gaming scene,” he said. With this, he will be able to meet new people and grow more. “I want to start doing more IRL stuff and maybe do a little more than Clash.”
When Clash Royale starts to die or slowly stops being fun to Rathet, he wants to keep creating content past Clash Royale, and his friends are eager to see what he comes up with..
“I like watching his videos,” said Johnny Henderson ‘28, “and it’s cool to see someone I know blowing up like that, and I also enjoy watching his lives sometimes.”
Thomas Catto ‘27 is also a big fan who likes to tease Rathet about his success. “It’s cool to see him blowing up, but I still think I could beat him any day.”
