It's also kind of a chain reaction. I used to play brawl stars back in the old days, but quit in 2020. A couple weeks ago, some people at my school started playing brawl stars together. I also joined, not wanting to miss out on the fun, and with me were many others who started playing again to be able to play with friends. Now, basically everyone, even people outside of school, are playing brawl stars.

I think the reason for the new popularity is some nostalgia mixed with a chain reaction. I started playing brawl stars again due to nostalgia, got a couple of my friends on, they got a couple of their friends on, and so on. Now there is like. 30 people playing at my school.

Not at all, the creator didnt't told many details about added features like 11 level made the game more p2w and how gears were very expensive in the begining, and how devs reworked them entirely later. Or how devs made 2nd brawl pass cost gems so that f2p players could get much more resources. The list goes on. This video were very short with details just enough for 8 minutes so yt would play the creator for it.

He explained how it got popular. The short answer is that brawl stars played their marketing stratagies well and gained attention from it through social media

as someone who played brawl stars since day 1, it’s nice to see that the games gaining popularity again as it was one of my favourite games to play, especially after school. Also, does anyone remember that one update around 2018 where you could upgrade brawlers with a weird new currency? It’s been on my mind for a while

Lol I agree with both of you. This outuber did remove a lot of context tho, focusing on primarily the negative. He didn't show the majority that was actually happy with brawl boxes removed, he instead showed the gambling addicted kids. Same with the brawl pass 1.0 and 2.0 update. He excluded the positive aspects of each update, like how 2.0 was better for both f2p and p2w players alike.

I played Brawl Stars in the early days of the game. I dropped it cause I just couldn’t get into it. I played Clash Royale and was enjoying, my roommate did, and all my friend’s from high school made a clan in the game. Clash Royale started falling off in popularity with me when they added card evolutions. It was a slow downhill from there. Later on, I was watching a TikTok about Clash Royale and a comment appeared saying Clash’s downfall has lead to a lot of Supercell fans to switch over to Brawl Stars (this was in between the start of the enchanted forest season and Doug’s release 2023). I redownloaded Brawl Stars and started playing again. I’m happy I made the decision to stay playing. It’s a fun game has layers to it, when Clash feels methodic and it feels like the same thing over and over. The Brawlers kept me playing. They’re so much fun! The unique personalities, the friendly community (there are toxic ones sure but those are going to be everywhere), and it feels like the game devs want to make this a fun game that sticks.
This is crazy high quality for how little views it has. I thought the video must have had at least a few hundred thousand views and looked down only to find 21K views, and 1,04K subs. Anyhow, you've earned yourself a new subscriber, awesome work man.
The only reason why I started bs again is because my girlfriend played it so I redownloaded it to start it up again
Bro, im an og brawl stars player, so happy to see my fav game back into business
I think actual reason is behind insane rewards brawl stars realased regulary. One in 2023/4 being Mico, he was free Durning brawlidays and everyone rushed to get him, making giant apocalypse like Edgar did in 2020/21,gray and grom also made but not enough. People by joining remember old nostalgic things from brawl stars so they got interest and started playing again. Another reason could be new ranked feature. By competing in it much like power league not only you get decoration for your battle card but also getting ranked stardrops, wich gave brutal skins from power league or bling. More reasons are probably mega pigs, 100 stardrops, brawler updates and more Brawl stars is rising more and more and I got big feeling next brawl talk will bring smth awesome so player base can enjoy. Brawl stars might face big ups and downs but brawl stars is not so but still young game only old 6-7 years old and has huge future

I think the fall of clash royale caused this large spike in popularity, mainly due to p2w updates, many came to brawl stars. As the popularity rose, old players began to start playing the game again.
everyone started randomly playing this game after 3 years. i have no idea what happened
The popular kid started playing brawls stars and then the whole school reinstalled it
In our school it's gotten so big we're not allowed to take our phones to school anymore
criminally underrated
Brawl stars did not get famouse bcs of 5v5 evryone just randomly started playing it agein
idek why i started playing again. no one mentioned it, nothing in my mind was giving me a reason. I just suddenly remembered the game and was eager to play again
I started playing the game again 2 weeks ago, as did all my friends, so convenient timing! The main reason I came back was Clash Royale was getting way too boring and leveling up cards in order to even stand a chance against players was too arduous. I came back around the time when brawl starts gave everyone 100 starr drops, so that kind of incentivized me to give it another shot. And the dev team I feel cares more about this game compared to the dev team for clash. Another thing is I don’t worry about losing 30 trophies if I lose a match, so progression after a loss isn’t too arduous. It’s been fun so far.
I’ve been playing since 2019, around the start of 2021 I quit playing just because I disliked the brawl pass addition, I came back in 2023 and it’s almost a whole new game mechanic wise, but honestly, I’ve been grinding for about a year and it’s still so fun
The really reason is the decline In clash royal leading to school kids looking for another game to play

Exactly. CR was getting worse and worse so most people that played just made the switch
Simple, The live viewcount for the brawl stars brawl talk yesterday was 1.1 million
There's a couple misunderstandings in this video, and the main thing is that whenever brawl stars added a new update it was almost always a buff to f2p players. When the brawler system changed from boxes to credits, there was a huge increase in how many brawlers you would unlock each update, and when the brawl pass changed to a paid pass, it was also a buff to f2p players as the pass each season gave more progression overall then if you saved 169 gems every 2 season to buy the brawl pass also meaning that they could save their gems for other things.
Nice video, and nice choice of lemmino's soundtrack!

Brawl Stars was underwhelming for me in 2023. But I saw someone playing brawl Stars at my school, then I started playing again and since then it’s been incredibly fun
personally, while playing back in 2019 i was quite annoyed at the progression system and i even quit because of it, rates were low on boxes and you never unlocked the brawler you truly wanted, and upgrading system was bad in my opinon a friend of mine installed it again and i saw that now you can choose what brawler you unlock and that it's a guaranteed to unlock them and now you could upgrade the brawlers you wanted quickly, rather than having to wait to get all the power power points individually, i even bought the pass since it was pretty affordable in my opinions, i've been loving every update and glad it's regaining its popularity
I never realized just how impactful their frequent balance changes have been. It’s what’s pulled me back into the game numerous times to play a brawler I didn’t really like but is suddenly strong or playing whatever is strong in the meta. Compared to clash Royale where they barely drop balance changes and hog rider, mega knight, and evo firecracker are still some of the most annoying cards ever

Oh wow, I used to play it 4 years ago, grinding become sad and repetitive :( then star drops were added? Boxes removed? At that point, I was done, I had left… until a few years after where ai continued to start grinding Mr. P, and that’s when I got back to the game…
just started playing brawl stars again after 2 years, and i love it!
Bro i live in berlin and i really have never seen a video game blow up as much as brawl stars(not even close) Like no matter where i go i see people playing this game
I've been playing consistently for a while. My school had an "outbreak" of sorts, where almost everyone (2200 people) play pretty often, including teachers
it used to be people playing chess in 2023, now its all just brawl stars
For some reason, ALL of my friends at school started playing Brawl Stars again in February of this year
in Turkey it got very popular over the months, i believe it might have an impact
i picked up the game in elementary school and its been a huge part of my childhood... but i gotta say whenever you take a year long break dont expect to understand shit after coming back.
The 100 starr drops caused my whole school to go into a frenzy now everyone is playing it again
I think the reason is: starrs aligned. I left the game some three years ago due to addiction. Now I just returned for no reason. And the game is nicer: you can direct the brawler you want to maximize first, and the brawler you want to pick first.
I can confirm a TON of people at my school suddenly all play brawl stars.

and the removal of chroma credits
There have not been many decent mobile games in a long time and most of the ones from a while ago have fallen off. Brawl stars is one of the only ones that’s consistently improved
My school went through some phases of the boys all playing a video game and the 2nd biggest stage was Clash Royale. Now everyone at my school, boys and girls, are playing Brawl Stars with my friend followed shortly after by me being the first to start playing it which got the attention of others to get the game or get back into it.
I join this game originally when Akshon Esports mentions it and also forget that this game was close to being cancelled And also they say it’s for business is the reason why they made it not free anymore to keep the game alive.
What got me back into brawl stars was hyper charges
I started playing right when the game started falling of and it is really good to see it back also how many trophies do u guys have? I have 35k
As a person who download brawl stars on its peak I can assure you that I don't know why I downloaded it , I just suddenly thought of brawl stars and download it
I think the main reason was that people kinda got that nostalgic vibe
The game seems to be at it’s highest this year pretty much everyone I know plays the game, even people at my school talk about it
This is so true I never heard of Brawl Stars until about a month ago when everyone at my school started playing it when I say everyone I mean everyone I decided to try it out and now I’m addicted to it and can’t stop playing
immediately realised the lemmino's cipher theme! great video!
i first started playing a few days before the hundred starr drops. i only started because all my friends played it and i wasnt gonna miss out. i think its actually really fun
removing club league in favor of mega pig was gross, dont know how we missed that
I used to play brawl stars during 2020 I think? Back then when I was a kid my dad made me delete the game because it got too addicting so then I moved on and never touched brawl stars again, fast forward 2 years I saw an ad about brawl stars and thought it would be great if I were to relive my memories, so I asked my dad if I was able to get a game on my iPad, my dad obviously forgot about brawl stars so he accepted and I redownloaded brawl stars. The problem was, I missed so many free items and I moved onto other games that I didn’t get the same feeling I used to have, the fun I had playing with friends at school and meeting randoms that I would soon play with as friends (long forgotten now 😢). I decided I wouldn’t touch brawl stars again as all my friends moved on and it was just me, I didn’t feel the same so brawl stars was long forgotten from my memory. Fast forward another 2 years and I realised for some reason, all my friends started playing brawl stars again! I’m not sure why but one day a friend of mine decided to play brawl stars and his whole friend group decided to. I was in a different state so I didn’t know about him playing, but then for some reason some of my other friends decided to go back to playing too! And obviously with everyone going back to brawl stars, I decided to go back and check the game again. SADLY, I logged on 4 days after the free 100 starr drops event occurred so I got nothing 😂. But now I realised how fun the game was and ads are popping up everywhere about brawl stars funny characters like poop spike. If you listened this far then thanks for your time 👍
it also became popular in my school, back then, only me and another guy played brawl stars, but then, some ppl decided it was a cool game and tried it, we all then kept playing together, and other kids in our school also started downloading the game, it was so fun, whenever a 5v5 mode was on, we'd all gather to play, i think this is sort of a chain reaction
Crazy quality and even more crazily underrated. Keep it up!! Glad this video is blowing up❤
i used to be the sole guy in my school that still played this game, last year i formed a trio with a new kid and another guy who i found out still played, and this year everybody started playing all of a sudden
This game gave a huge amount of fun to us that we even play this much without boxes😢 sad about boxes but happy about more players
as someone who didnt play brawl stars when everyone around me was during 2018-2019, even i started to play recently
I started in 2019, stopped, and came back 2 weeks ago. Nothing specific even brought me back, but when I did, suddenly everyone else around me at school coincidentally did as well, primarily during class. The CCTV videos helped keep me hooked on the game though, not sure why
Glad to see someone talking about this. EVERYONE in my school is playing it.
for some reason at the beginning of the school year, i and a few other people only played it. but now its like everyone in my school
I used to be addicted to this in 2020-2021 and the start of 2022 and rhen gir bored and stopped playing. Recently, some people at school mentioned it as a joke about the 2020-2022 years, it then we actually got into it again and i have been having a lot of fun
You didn't explain the video title, instead you gave a history lesson. Classic clickbait.
yeah right? i dont know what happend but everyone suddenly started playing again, most of my friends started playing brawl stars for no reason and then it spreaded like a virus throughout the entire class
the 100 star drops made me come back and i'm playing since then
It's funny because while I've been playing since global launch, all my friends in school just started playing it now.
I started back in 2018, around a week after global release. I remember playing for around 2 or so years, and then eventually quitting during 2020, around the same time you said it started to decrease in popularity. Then, I randomly started playing again in 2023 and still going hard now, since everyone around me started playing as well. Now, pretty much my entire school plays the game, and it's popularity is higher than I've seen it in 2018.
I've been playing on and off since 2017 and I'm top 100 in my country. I had a long period of like a few years or something where i didn't play, and i for sure thought the game was lost after the removal of boxes. But for me the Masteries update was so incredibly important. It gave a reason to play and something to flex. Half of the time i play the game it's to get a title. And also many of the new updates are just crazy good, i love this game😍
