After attempting to queue up for a Valorant game, cosplay star and Twitch sensation Sydeon has gone viral with a post detailing the sexist abuse she was subjected to from teammates. 23-year-old Twitch streamer and cosplayer extraordinaire, Sydeon, has taken the platform by storm in a short time. Back in January, we picked her as one of the rising stars to watch out for this year. Renowned for stunning cosplay outfits and Among Us appearances alongside the likes of Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hoffstetter and Sykkuno, she’s amassed hundreds of thousands of followers within the first quarter of 2021. Fame, however, doesn’t grant you immunity to toxic players, and the Twitch star has shared a recent experience in Valorant solo queue. Twitter: sydeonSydney, better known as Sydeon, has become one of Twitch’s most popular streamers this year. Sydeon’s Valorant experience goes viral In a Twitter thread on June 21, the Sydney relays a pretty harrowing Valorant solo queue experience. “Queued one solo queue game. Got held hostage after they yelled at me telling me to get back in the kitchen, and asking why I even queue up to play games,” she writes. “I’m shaking. I’ve never been so upset, people either call…

Home News (Image credit: Matt Heafy / Trivium) While a large proportion of an artist's audience comes by way of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, payouts are often minuscule, so it's no wonder they're resorting to less conventional methods to generate cash.Take Matt Heafy, for example: he's the frontman of Trivium, one of the most successful metal bands in the world, yet he earns more money from livestreaming on Twitch than he does from the band's music on all streaming platforms combined.In a new interview with the New York Times, Heafy reveals that his Twitch channel generated just shy of $10,000 per month in 2019 and 2020, while Trivium collectively receive around $11,000 per month from all other on-demand streaming services.For reference, Heafy's Twitch channel currently has over 220,000 followers, while Trivium's Spotify page boasts around 1.8 million monthly listeners.Based on these figures, Twitch streaming could be seen as the more lucrative endeavor, but for Heafy, it's pretty much a full-time job.The Trivium main man engages with his audience six hours a day, five days a week, streaming content from guitar clinics, light-hearted covers and video gameplay to AMA-style Q&A sessions with fans.“Even if I don't feel like…

Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa has hit back at criticism that her controversial ASMR Twitch streams create “creepers” that harass and plague other female creators, claiming that it’s “enormously ironic.” Amouranth’s latest Twitch ban resulted from her controversial ASMR streams, which have been subject to widespread criticism from viewers and content creators alike, including Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar, and Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys. However, the biggest concern has been that such streams could create a flow-on effect where creepy viewers who only watch that kind of content move on to other female content creators on the platform and harass them. Amouranth refuted those claims, and now she’s doubled-down on her stance and slammed people who hold that view for being “enormously ironic” for glossing over the issue and blaming it on things that “have no basis.” Twitch / AmouranthAmouranth believes her ASMR streams aren’t inherently problematic for the platform. “I will always find it enormously ironic that the generation that fought “violent video games don’t cause an uptick in gun/violent crimes” instantly turn tail and succumb to a bad take like ‘hot tub/ASMR girls literally create creepers that plague other girl creators!'” she said. “I always wondered how ‘think of the children’…

 So last year I built a PC during lockdown after watching a Twitch streamer play a game that caught my attention (Escape From Tarkov). So after spending double my budget I ended up with a pretty decent rig and for 8 months I did nothing on this PC but play my game and some light web browsing. Man this thing was something i was super proud of, not only was it my first PC but it was my first PC and i built it. Oh and lets not forget about my FPS, yeah my friends were jealous and hey it felt good man I picked the parts and i did a thing. Well around December my previously flawless running PC started having a game breaking issue, it would randomly freeze. Alright so it happened once then didn't happen again for a week or so, but then it happened 4x in one night. Ugh so I did what anyone would do, I asked Google. Well after running a merit of troubleshooters and uninstalls/reinstalls I gave in and reset Windows. All that was back in January and although I thought I had fixed the issue it continued to happen, but it was…

Twitch has banned Amouranth, Indiefoxx, ExoHydraX, and more over recent ASMR streams. At the moment of publishing, Twitch has not confirmed this is the reason behind the ban spree, but given who the targets are and that all of the bannings came at once, suggests it's for said streamer's participation in the new "ASMR TikTok Leggings Yoga Meta," more often referred to as the "ASMR Meta." Much like the Hot Tub streams before, this new meta exploded out of nowhere, with many of the same streamers involved. As you may remember, both Amouranth and IndieFoxx were at the origins of the Hot Tub meta, and they were once again at the center of the new ASMR Meta as well. And for their troubles, they've banned by the platform, though it's unclear if the bans are temporary or permanent. ❌ Twitch Partner "Indiefoxx" (@indiefoxxlive) has been banned! ❌https://t.co/jI01K4qnnK#twitch #ban #fifthban #partner #twitchpartner ⏹ — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) June 19, 2021 ❌ Twitch Partner "Amouranth" (@wildkait) has been banned! ❌https://t.co/xcMWODRNod#twitch #ban #fourthban #partner #twitchpartner 🌌 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) June 19, 2021 At the moment of publishing, Twitch has not addressed the controversial new meta in any capacity beyond these bannings.
