It is always very difficult to measure the difficulty of the profession of streamer. We must not neglect the pressure related to the exhibition, the time-consuming schedules of the activity without forgetting the very strong competition that exists in the environment. Many dream of getting a place in the Twitch Game, but very few succeed... On the other hand, those who manage to break through, generally do not have to complain about their finances. Between subscriptions, donations and OPs, there is a good little nest egg to be made and it would be hypocritical to deny it.
A streamer recently had the very good surprise of receiving a $100,000 donation from a shadowy viewer for her birthday. Without judging its merit or its needs, it must be recognized that this kind of madness does not happen every day in another sphere of activity!
A somewhat special streamer
The streamer in question is not just anyone. In France, Park Sora shouldn't say much to the gaming community, but in South Korea, she's a former K-Pop idol! Member of the groups PEACE and Bullock, she began her career in 2016 and even if today she is no longer really active on stage, she continues to be talked about on Twitch. She still has loyal fans who follow her everywhere and it was one of them, a certain “tako” who decided to shower her on her birthday with a whopping 100K donation! The sum is flirtatious and the former idol was shocked upon discovering it. She will be able to afford beautiful gifts to celebrate her 32nd birthday .
tako nevertheless specified in his message that this sum was to be used above all to pay the rent, good food and cute sets of clothes! Some will find this kind of relationship to be a little creepy , but hey, as long as it doesn't ask for anything in return like pictures of feet...
Twitch, a world apart?
Some little streamers might be jealous. Sora is indeed not a heavyweight on the scene and according to InvenGlobal , she has an average of 300 vierwers on her lives. It's far from ridiculous, but rare are streamers to receive $100,000 for their birthday, even the most famous. But on Twitch, there is no real logic, especially when an outside personality already known by the population arrives. Here we are talking about a singer, but we also had the right to athletes , journalists or even politicians .
In any case, we would like to know if this famous tako will give back so much money next year! Until then, you can still follow Sora 's stream where she plays (PUBG, Monster Hunter) or talks about her experience as a former idol.
We now know where the grand finale of the BLAST circuit will take place. While the CS:GO scene is known for organizing tournaments all over the world, BLAST has decided to go exotic to give the community some warmth in the middle of December.
