Videographer and video director Konstantin Ermakov was set a weight loss challenge to play for the YouTube All-Stars team, who will take on KSI and his friends in a charity match on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Seen as the ultimate battle of internet streamers, bragging rights are on the line as the two sides battle it out at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Last year the charity match broke a Guinness World Record for the most-viewed live sports event broadcast on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly the match raised \u00a31million for charities and this year\u2019s game will hope to raise a similar amount.
