The Sidemen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sidemen/] have announced the return of their charity match for this year. This UK group of YouTubers has made it a tradition to host a soccer match for charity since 2015. Prominent YouTubers like MrBeast [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mrbeast/] and IShowSpeed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ishowspeed/] were present at the match last year. This year too they are planning to bring in multiple big names from the YouTube world. And a content creator who is on the list of desired candidates is xQc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/xqc/]. While xQc is a force to be reckoned with in FPS gaming, little is known about his sporting career. But in spite of that, Sidemen’s Miniminter has opened up the ‘door’ for the former Overwatch pro. XQC MIGHT MAKE AN APPEARANCE IN THE SIDEMEN CHARITY MATCH 2023 Earlier, Miniminter extended an invitation to xQc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-xqc-accepts-miniminters-sidemen-charity-match-invitation-leaving-fans-in-worry-drama-will-start-if-he-doesnt-show-up/] to come to the match. He said, “He is fully welcome. If he wants to play, he is there.” In reply, xQc said, “Ah s**t, I’m going.” But the streamer was quick to redact that by saying why did he say that. However, he was already looking up flights to the UK. But the duration of the seven-hour flight to travel to the match again made the former Overwatch pro wary of the idea. According to the streamer, the travel time from Quebec, Canada to Germany was lesser than this. xqc [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/xqc-kick.jpg] However, looking at the ambiguous response from xQc, Miniminter himself got confused. He said, “I didn’t learn anything from that. He said he’s there and now I don’t know!” To clear up his doubts, the Sidemen member decided to watch another clip from the streamer. Suggests Figuring Out “The Right Platform for the Right Things” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-twitch-ceo-feels-excited-for-xqc-after-his-hundred-million-dollar-kick-deal-suggests-figuring-out-the-right-platform-for-the-right-things/] The former Overwatch pro was trying to convince himself to go by saying, “Oh I am going anyway. I got this.” Furthermore, he added that he has shown up to other streams he has committed to join. Although it is still not confirmed that the streamer will be present at the Sidemen Charity match, the chances have definitely increased with xQc looking at travel schedules to the UK.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The journey of Sidemen is among the biggest success stories in the YouTube content space. While there can be various reasons attributed to the success of Sidemen as the big face of entertainment, the association of seven of the most celebrated individual YouTube creators has to be the most appealing factor for the channel. In fact, as an idea, a bunch of big time YouTubers coming together to offer a promising streak of content was primarily pulled off by The Sidemen on such a big scale. So, as we go further, let's look at how the decade-long journey has been for The Sidemen, one of the biggest brands on YouTube. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Sidemen's features are entertaining not just because they give a sneak peek into fans’ personal favorite creators but also provide an ecstatic display of chemistry and the profound dynamic between all the members. A friendly code that has worked for a lot of famous creators before and after Sidemen, MrBeast being one big example of the same. Despite the strong evolution of their individual careers, the bond has remained constantly enriching among the members of The Sidemen, keeping them as relevant as ever. </span>
<h2><strong>Early Life </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">On the 19th of October 2013, a group of seven legends came together for a project that would be of historical significance on the YouTube platform. Initially, the project had no fan following or any notoriety, and the name represented nothing but a GTA online group created by a few small YouTubers. However, the potential for the group was unbounded. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The group comprises seven members: </span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” aka KSI</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Harry Lewis “Wroetoshaw” aka W2S</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Simon Minter aka Miniminter</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Vikram Singh Barn “Vik” aka Vikstar123</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Tobi Brown aka TBJZL</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Ethan Payne aka Behzinga</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Joshua Bradley “Josh” aka Zerkaa</strong></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">But in the beginning of early 2013, the name Sidemen represented very little on the YouTube platform and each creator was doing their own thing with individual channels of substantial size. However, the creators had some common links with each other. For instance, KSI and Miniminter had both attended the same school and therefore had made plenty of videos together in the past while Zerkaa and TBJZL had also studied together, leading to a similar scenario. The other remaining creators of the group have met each other through YouTube and other scenarios. </span>
<h2><strong>Career </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The first big claim to fame started for the Sidemen when they began creating videos together while playing video games, GTA V to be more specific. Through an iconic upload titled ‘GTA V Online Group Fun #1 (With Zerkaa, TBJZL, KSI, Behzinga)’, the big foundation of the group was laid. In fact, these group collaboration videos led up to the release of GTA crews in October 2013. Eventually, Behzinga created a GTA group called The Ultimate Sidemen, a point all members consider being the official beginning of the group. </span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-922840 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/gta_v_image.jpg" alt="" width="1858" height="1045" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The word Sideman refers to copying everything a friend does, but at the time of the establishment, KSI was the biggest Youtuber among all the members having 4 million subscribers which kicked off a joke calling all other members his ‘Sidemen’. Later on, as they rose to popularity, the members moved into a house together. However, the group didn't have a channel until KSI was inspired by the idea of an official single YouTube channel. After six months of planning, the Sidemen official YouTube Channel went live on May 16, 2016. It became the fastest YouTube channel to reach one million subscribers. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Within six months of the channel launch, the Sidemen launched a book they promoted through a tour, and also started a football club under the label of Sidemen FC. </span>
<h2><strong>Net Worth </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Sidemen has 3 main sources of income: </span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Merchandise Sales</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Sponsorship Deals</strong></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><strong>YouTube AdSense</strong></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As of November 2023, an estimate of their net worth was reported to the tune of $56.3 million, with the group dipping into ventures like clothing, books, fast food, and vodka. It is important to note that the clothing merchandise has been running since December 2014, before the official YouTube debut of the channel. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">KSI has a reported net worth of $29 million, while Miniminter's net worth is estimated to be $35 million.</span>
<h3><strong>Achievements </strong></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Sidemen have achieved significant success and milestones in their careers, both individually and collectively. </span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Diverse Content Creation: The group has produced many kinds of items, such as gameplay, dares, blogs, and joint ventures. The flexibility associated with this has made them very popular.</span></li>

</ul>
<h2><strong>Bans and Controversies </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">While the Sidemen have generally maintained a positive and entertaining presence on YouTube, they have faced a few controversies and bans over the years. One notable incident involved KSI (JJ Olatunji), a founding member of the Sidemen, who was temporarily banned from uploading on YouTube in 2012 due to violating the platform's terms of service. This ban was related to some of KSI's content, which was deemed inappropriate at the time.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In a more recent controversy, KSI was subjected to some internet scrutiny after allegedly using some racial slurs in a Sidemen video. The YouTuber made a public apology following the callouts and cleared the air in April 2023. <em>“</em></span><i><span style="font-weight: 400"><em>There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry,”</em> </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">he wrote in a tweet. </span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1897861 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sidemen-1.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">In terms of controversies within the group, there have been occasional disagreements and conflicts, but they have usually been resolved privately or addressed in a lighthearted manner. The Sidemen members have been transparent about the challenges of working together while maintaining their individual brands.</span>
<h3><strong>Awards </strong></h3>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Sidemen: The Book was nominated for Non-Fiction Lifestyle Book of the Year along with the channel being nominated for Best YouTube Ensemble. </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Recently, the Sidemen established a Guinness World Record for Most viewers for a charity sports match live stream on YouTube for the Sidemen vs YouTubers charity match of 2023</span></li>
