She has 9.2 million followers on the platform, and her streams have been watched more than 220 million times. However, Pokimane\u2019s legacy extends far beyond stats and figures. Not only has she cemented her place as one of the most iconic streamers on the platform, but she\u2019s also become an integral part of streaming culture. Since both her parents were academics, Pokimane was encouraged to follow suit. As a result, she wound up studying chemical engineering at McMaster University, but dropped out to pursue streaming full-time, and the rest is history. Pokimane, at a glance Real name: Imane AnysAge: 26Birthday: May 14, 1996\u00a0Nationality: Canadian, MoroccanPartner: NoneAwards:The Game Awards Content Creator of the Year 2019The Streamer Awards Gamer of the Year 2022Org: OfflineTV (founded by Anys, others) What games does Pokimane play? According to TwitchTracker, Pokimane\u2019s most-played game, by far, is League of Legends. She\u2019s played the popular MOBA title for more than 1,200 hours on stream, which constitutes a whopping 23 percent of total stream time. The next closest games are Valorant, which is tracking nicely at 700 hours and 13 percent of total screentime, Fortnite with 600 hours and 11 percent total stream time, and Among Us with 300 hours and 6 percent of total stream time. However, her most streamed category is Just Chatting, which isn\u2019t all that surprising since she spends large chunks of her stream chatting and interacting with fans, typically at the beginning and end of each one. What is Pokimane\u2019s streaming setup? Pokimane revealed her streaming setup during a YouTube video in July 2021. It contains the following items: Pokimane\u2019s Gaming PC Setup: CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k 8 Core ProcessorMOBO: Asus Z390 Maximus Hero XIGPU: MSI RTX 2080 TI Gaming X TrioPSU: NZXT E850 Digital Power SupplyRAM: 32GB of Trident RGB RAM at 3600 MhzSSD (Main): Intel Optane 905P (960GB)SSD (Secondary): Samsung 970 Evo 2TB M.2Case: NZXT H500CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X72 Liquid Cooler How much does Pokimane make? According to the infamous Twitch streamer earnings leak that took the internet by storm in Oct. 2021, Pokimane reportedly earned $1.5 million from Twitch payouts between Aug. 2019 and Oct. 2021. Based on these numbers, she makes roughly $63,000 per month from her streams alone. Of course, this doesn\u2019t include revenue from other mediums such as exclusivity contracts, merchandise, sponsorship deals, YouTube videos, and more. So, the reality is she earns a lot more than that, although the exact numbers aren\u2019t known. Where is Pokimane from? Pokimane was born in Morocco but her family moved to Quebec, Canada, when she was four years old. As a result, she is bi-lingual and can speak French, which is a predominant language in those parts, and English. She currently lives in Los Angeles. Why is Pokimane so popular on Twitch? Pokimane\u2019s popularity on Twitch comes down to many factors. First and foremost, she is one of the most dedicated and versatile streamers on the platform, as evidenced by the list of games she\u2019s played mentioned above. Not only has she shown time and time again that she\u2019s able to walk the walk when it comes to competitive gaming, but she\u2019s also done it in a way that\u2019s entertaining for people to watch, and at times, hilarious. However, there\u2019s more to her than skills and charisma. She\u2019s also a profound source of level-headed wisdom on various issues, some of which are directly related to streaming, and others that are more generalized. It\u2019s not all that surprising since she\u2019s a well-read person. However, it\u2019s a quality that stands out on Twitch, particularly because it isn\u2019t something people generally tune in for. She has the capacity to educate, inform, and inspire her fans, and they cherish her for it. Pokimane\u2019s most popular Twitch clip Pokimane\u2019s most popular clip on the platform is her revealing a custom-made five-dollar donation cap to prevent fans from giving her large sums of money. She also thanked them for their support throughout the years. So what\u2019s next for Pokimane? Pokimane has done just about everything there is to do on Twitch, from climbing the ranks in competitive games to taking part in some of the biggest Among Us lobbies, and even embracing the react meta. For that reason, she has expressed the desire to branch out her content in different ways, such as doing more IRL streams including travel vlogs, cooking streams, podcast episodes, and collaborative events. After experimenting with this kind of content throughout 2022, she fully committed to it for the first time on Twitch by streaming her adventures in South Korea between June 8 and 13, topping the IRL charts in the process. Given how successful it was, there\u2019s a good chance Pokimane will continue to do more things like this in the future to mix up her content even more. However, she\u2019ll always be involved with games to some degree. Follow Pokimane on: Twitch | YouTube | Twitter
