BBC<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nOne of the UK’s most popular streamers says it’s getting harder for newcomers to make a name for themselves online.<\/p>\n Morgan Burtwistle, better known as Angry Ginge, has gained millions of followers since launching his account in 2020 and is best know for playing football game EA FC.<\/p>\n He tells BBC Newsbeat the space is getting more “saturated” as carving out a career online is seen as a money-making option.<\/p>\n “More people are trying to do it. Growing up, people now want to be footballers or content creators”, he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today’s top streamers can make big money from their channels through advertising, brand deals, and subscriptions.<\/p>\n But Morgan says it’s better to start small, and only get into streaming if it’s something you enjoy doing.<\/p>\n “Find a job, save up, buy the cheapest equipment out there – PC, microphone – and then be consistent and keep going no matter what people say.<\/p>\n “Do it as a hobby more than a job, and then hopefully you can grow from there.”<\/p>\n BBC Newsbeat speaks to Morgan at Red Bull’s UK HQ in Milton Keynes, where he announces that he’s joining its esports team as a player.<\/p>\n The brand has a host of famous faces on its roster, including F1 star Max Verstappen, Olympic gold medal climber Toby Roberts and England cricketer Ben Stokes.<\/p>\n For a successful streamer or well-known face, the brands you choose to partner with can generate a strong reaction from your fans.<\/p>\n Red Bull in particular has been criticised for its involvement in football – as recently experienced by ex-Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp when he accepted a job with the company<\/a>.<\/p>\n Morgan says he’s expecting his to be positive about the announcement.<\/p>\n “Nothing will ever change me”, he says, adding that he doesn’t expect the deal to have an effect on the type of content he makes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Morgan is no stranger to mixing the worlds of online and real-life football.<\/p>\n He manages Winton Wanderers Yanited FC, a grassroots under-18 club he’s taking global on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n He’s known for being loud and excitable on his streams, so what kind of management style does Angryginge bring to the pitch?<\/p>\n “An aggressive one,” he says. <\/p>\n “No messing about, simple balls and hopefully just put the ball in the back of the net”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He’s also set to manage one of the 12 teams in the upcoming Baller League .<\/p>\n The UK edition of the six-a-side tournament will be run by Angry Ginge’s online bestie KSI, and feature big names from streaming alongside household-name football stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n Morgan says his team will bring “heart, soul, blood and thunder”.<\/p>\n “We’re gonna win”, he says, before joking: “If we don’t there’s clear bias and robbery going on”.<\/p>\n Some of Morgan’s fans have wondered if we could ever see streamers like him making the jump to managing Premier League teams.<\/p>\n “It’s never going to happen”, he says.<\/p>\n “If that happens I’m living in a simulation”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/bbcx\/grey-placeholder.png\")
