Notorious Streamer iShowSpeed Falls Prey to a Stream Sniper Just Days After Wild 4th of July Stunt

It is no secret that streamers come across stream snipers on a regular basis. But that does not mean that they react well to it every single time. After all, even they are human beings with a patience level, and at times it gets over, resulting in anger. Such has been the case for popular Fortnite streamer IShowSpeed, who suffered from a major stream sniping episode during his Fall Guys Stream.

For those uninitiated, IshowSpeed is an internet celebrity from Ohio, United States. He started his YouTube journey in 2016 but did not get any fame until 2021. Post that, he became one of the most popular YouTubers in the world as he bagged a million followers in a few days. Fans know him by the name ‘Speedy’ as he is famous for his extravagant and eccentric short-tempered personality.

On July 7, 2022, FaZe clan member FazeBlaZe uploaded a video featuring IShowSpeed. The video featured Speedy’s Fall Guys stream, where every player on the map stream sniped him. In fact, Speedy got so mad for a moment that he said he would call the cops, which he actually did in the end.

I mean, we understand his frustration as apart from being a streamer, he is an avid gamer. So, suffering from something like this will never be on his list.

For those in the dark, “Stream sniping is an opportunistic tactic in online gaming when a viewer exploits information by watching the live stream of someone they’re playing against.” It is very frustrating for the primary player, as it ruins their game entirely.

Apart from the video, here’s what Blaze said in the tweet: “this is peak stream sniping.” The video was a prime example of what streamers have to go through on a daily basis. Sadly, it also proves that popularity in the Esports industry can also be a boon. 

IshowSpeed seems to suffer from a dark time!

On the auspicious occasion of Independence day, Speedy lit up a few fireworks in his room. Unfortunately, his stunt turned into a disaster as fans saw him jump and scream all over the room. After all, fans constantly tried to warn him about bursting the crackers outside, but he neglected their comments.

Apart from his July 4 disaster, IShowSpeed also got banned from Valorant and all other riot games. Fans saw him cussing a female teammate on the stream after she tried to console him over his in-game death. It was a massively heated conversation as Speedy constantly tried to abuse her and his other teammates.
