Everyone who walked on Károly körút on Saturday afternoon had a strange sight, as there were crowds of people waiting on the road even in front of the Balázs Kicks shoe store, preferred by Péter Szijjártó “Készpénz” and Péter Magyar, among others, which, according to one of our readers, traffic had to be temporarily closed at Deák tér. The cause of the tumult blocking traffic was certainly that the streamer couple called 2okos released their new, limited-edition T-shirt here on Saturday afternoon, which could then be purchased for HUF 17,990 by anyone who was willing to stand in line for hours on the road.
After the publication of our article, one of our readers indicated that there could have been another reason for the crowd: at the same time as this event, just a few hundred meters away, Mobilfox’s “money distribution event” was taking place, where, according to his report, there were several thousand people. “Deák tér was also filled more because of their program, and the full police coverage on Andrássy út was also because of them. There are hundreds of videos about this on Tiktok, the countless live videos have been watched by more than 10,000 people!” – written by. A video of this event:
Meanwhile, many people gathered in front of Balázs Kicks. The sneaker expert Balázs Pachert probably doesn’t need to be introduced to anyone at this point, in addition to the visit of Szijjártó and Magyar, you can also know him from the fact that last March a pair of sneakers worth HUF 3.5 million was stolen from him. 2okos is probably not that well-known, unless someone has a teenage child or is not a teenager themselves. In short, all you need to know about them is that they are currently one of the most popular Hungarian content producers/streamers, perhaps only TheVR can be compared to them.
2okos broke their own viewership record just a few days ago, with the promo of their t-shirt appearance on Saturday, which was conducted in a somewhat ethically questionable way by pretending to be kidnapped live. That’s why they were banned for a day from Twitch, where they take this kind of thing quite seriously, precisely because swatting has been popular for years, when they call commandos on streamers as a joke.
The media heck came in anyway, because at one point 72,000 people were interested in their return, even though, as it turned out, they only announced in an action-packed short film – in which, in addition to Balázs Pachert, the Kuwaiti-Hungarian rapper Jaber, who recently appeared with a new album, also appeared – that their limited edition t-shirts are coming. To that everyone was warned in advancethat there will be many, and according to our reader who was on the spot, the fans were also persistent, the owners of the first 50 (extra limited) and the first 10 (distributed for free) T-shirts were said to have been waiting in front of the store since yesterday.
We have updated our article with information about Mobilfox’s event.
