While most parts of the world were on lockdown during the pandemic, online content was massively consumed. With major live sporting events cancelled across the world, eSports streaming experienced an aggressive surge in viewership.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028It resulted in eSports streamers like Felix \u201cPewdiepie\u201d Kjellberg, VannosGaming, and Tyler &#8220;Ninja&#8221; Blevins (to name a few) garnering more followers. A new member to the exclusive list of 9 million followers on Twitch is none other than the Moroccan-Canadian streamer Imane &#8220;Pokimane&#8221; Anys. <\/p>\n<p>\u2028This exclusive club contains only nine streamers, including Ninja, Raul &#8220;auronplay&#8221; Alvarez, Ruben &#8220;Rubius&#8221; Doblas, Turner &#8220;Tfue&#8221; Tenney, Felix &#8220;xQc&#8221; Lengyel, Michael &#8220;Shroud&#8221; Grzesiek, David &#8220;TheGrefg&#8221; Canovas and Ibai &#8220;Ibai&#8221; Llanos. While Pokimane is the latest member, she is the first female streamer to reach such heights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/predictions\/\" title=\"Esports betting predictions\">LATEST ESPORTS BETTING TIPS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2028The streamer, who started her career in 2013, took to her Twitter page to make the announcement. She shared the news with her 3.9 million Twitter followers, thanking them for helping her achieve such a feat with a caption that read, &#8220;thanks for 9 mil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u2028Barely nine months ago, Pokimane was celebrating hitting the 8 million followers milestone. Via her live stream, she had expressed her gratitude towards her followers, calling Twitch her home.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u201cThanks, chat. Thanks, guys! I don\u2019t even know what to say,&#8221; she stated. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you so much for dummy thick number. 8 million on Twitch, I appreciate you guys so much. You know Twitch is my home. It\u2019s where I started my internet journey and I am so happy to still be here and I am happy that it feels like in a sense that I left my mark.\u201d\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>Pokimane has grown in recent times, positioning herself as one of the most influential esports personalities. It will come as no surprise if she wins the 2022 Streamer of the Year award, succeeding the most recent recipient, Ibai.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Table view: sport-content -->\n\n <div class=\"content-bonus-grid\">\n\n    \n\n<article class=\"bonus-grid-card rank-1\" id=\"ggbet-sport-content\">\n\n    <div class=\"grid-card_logo\" style=\"background-color: #ff7d01\"> \n             <p class=\"recommended-bonus-card\">Recommended!<\/p>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/data-central\/images\/casinos\/racemedia\/ggbetsport.svg\" id=\"ggbet-sport\" alt=\"GG Bet\" title=\"Play at GG Bet\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/data-central\/images\/casinos\/racemedia\/ggbetsport.svg\" id=\"ggbet-sport\" alt=\"GG Bet\" title=\"Play at GG Bet\"\/><\/noscript>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"grid-card_info\">\n        <p>eSports Specialist<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/ggbet-sport\/\" title=\"Claim bonus at GG Bet\"  target=\"_blank\"><p><em>Get \u20ac5  freebet!<\/em><\/p><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"grid-card_cta\">\n        <a  href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/ggbet-sport\/\" title=\"Claim bonus at GG Bet\" target=\"_blank\">Join GGBet Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"grid-card_terms\">\n    <p>18+ Gamble responsibly.
