Chess.com is hosting a star-studded charity event with Lidé Haiti, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering at-risk adolescent girls in Haiti. The June 2 event will be live-streamed on Twitch and bring together, among others, The Office actor and Lidé Haiti’s co-founder Rainn Wilson, Chess.com’s Chief Chess Officer Danny Rensch, and the acclaimed U.S. grandmaster Maurice Ashley. Rainn, a chess fan who made it to the final of Chess.com’s PogChamps 3 tournament in 2021 to win $11,500 for Lidé Haiti said: “It’s all about raising money for our arts and education programs for these girls and Chess.com is starting out the fundraising with a $10,000 gift and 400 chess sets. It’s going to be really exciting, it’s going to be several hours of chess playing and banter and fun, all for a great cause on Twitch.tv/chess.” Speaking on Chess.com’s Champions Chess Tour broadcast, he added: “I think chess greatly expands how you use your brain, how you use your mind, it opens up possibilities, it gives a person confidence and I think it would be really exciting for our girls to learn chess and to have that as part of their curriculum.” FM Joshua Colas, who broke the record of

Videos by OutKick Travis Hunter Jr. is the most interesting case study in college football this fall. Not only is Colorado going to be must-watch T.V. with Deion Sanders at the helm, win or lose, but his star wide receiver is also his star cornerback. Hunter is a full-time, two-way player— and might be the only one on the Power Five level. Certainly with his amount of playing time. He rarely came off of the field at Jackson State last season, and that is set to be the case again in Boulder. Balancing both positions poses an interesting challenge. Hunter, the former No. 1 overall recruit in the Class of 2022, will be a sophomore this fall. After all signs pointed toward him playing college football at Florida State or Georgia, he shocked the world by flipping to play for Coach Prime at an FCS program on National Signing Day. A large part of Hunter’s decision to play for the Tigers was his desire, and ability, to play both offense and defense. The Seminoles and Bulldogs were primarily interested in him as a defensive back. Hunter wanted to do both, so he joined Sanders in Mississippi to do exactly that

UFC lightweight contender Renato Moicano, currently ranked No. 13 at 155 pounds, tried to do his Twitch followers a favor last weekend by streaming the GLORY 86 kickboxing event, which aired live and free on the promotion’s YouTube channel. Unfortunately that was a clear violation of the platform’s terms and conditions, leading to a swift and unceremonious ban on the baffled Brazilian. “Just got banned from Twitch for watching GLORY kickboxing that was live on YouTube,” Moicano wrote on Twitter. “Crazy. Shit was live and free. No UFC today just wanted to watch some fights!!! Help me to get unbanned ossss.” Here are the GLORY 86 kickboxing results from last weekend in Germany: Petchpanomrung def.

Controversial top streamer Kai Cenat can’t seem to catch a break. Just days after being accused of scamming a creative team for subathon ideas, he’s now facing similar accusations from fellow Twitch star Felix “xQc” Lengyel. Kai Cenat seemed to blow up overnight after doing a month-long subathon that was later revealed to have a lot of questionable moments, including the appearance of banned streamers, possible sexual acts, and other things that go against Twitch’s guidelines. Most recently, a member of a hired creative team claimed that a lot of the stream ideas during the subathon were theirs but Cenat never paid to use them. After seeing the accusations on Twitter, Cenat responded that he wasn’t even aware of the creative team or their Google Sheet full of ideas. But he’s now in trouble for stealing ideas once again. xQc demands Kai Cenat pay him for stealing ideas One of xQc’s livestream hobbies is checking the subreddit LivestreamFails, which is dedicated to streamer drama and cringe moments. While looking during his May 28 livestream, xQc came across a post all about Cenat allegedly scamming the creative team for subathon ideas. Instead of standing up for Cenat, the Juicer used the

Amouranth calls out companies advertising on deepfake sites, saying their "principles go out the door". After years of deepfake sites stealing images of popular streamers for their own benefit, Amouranth is calling them out. However, she isn't just going after the sites themselves, but the companies that fund them through advertising, keeping the business profitable. In a tweet thread, Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth on social media, called out a company she has worked with in the past for advertising on a site that created explicit deepfake material of herself. She says this is despite the unknown company apparently priding itself on being a progressive organisation, with Amouranth saying that their "principles go out the door in pursuit of bigger numbers." "It’s super shitty when a platform you worked with previously decides to run advertisements on top of your deepfakes," says Amouranth, in a statement on Twitter (spotted by Dexerto). "It reeks of desperation." While she isn't naming the company, she clarified that it wasn't Fansly or OnlyFans, sites she uses to share adult material that she has consented to and created herself. These deepfake sites not only threaten her business but completely breach her consent, putting her into

Using whispers on Twitch is the perfect way to connect with other people more privately. There may be times you want to connect with someone on Twitch but not on the stream chat. It could be someone cracking witty jokes or a friend you want to catch up with. So how do you connect with a user privately without disturbing others? All you need to do is send them a whisper.
