Pokimane slams League fans over response to LilyPichu & Michael Reeves MSI cameo Twitch: LilyPichu, Michael Reeves\/Instagram: pokimaneTop Twitch star Pokimane slammed the League of Legends community over their response to her friends, LilyPichu and Michael Reeves, having a cameo in the Mid-Season Invitational groups draw. Pokimane and many of her peers actually came up on Twitch through League of Legends, starting as LoL streamers before expanding into other titles and growing exponentially as content creators. Since creators such as Lily have long been so interlinked with the community, she and Michael Reeves were invited to make a small cameo at the MSI draw, and before long, the backlash started to come flying in. Tweets and various posts across social media were implying that Lily and Michael had no right being on the show, and before long, Pokimane made her thoughts on the issue known. We aren’t getting paid for this. They just asked me and I said sure can I bring Michael, that’s it. Honestly regretting my decision from the backlash tbh. I didn’t realize it was this serious. \u2014 lily \ud83d\udc99 (@LilyPichu) April 22, 2022 Speaking about all of the negative tweets, Poki felt inclined to defend her friends and explain why their critics are wrong. \u201cI feel like this is one of the reasons the League of Legends community and game isn\u2019t doing as well as it could,\u201d she said. \u201cI think League is a great game, it\u2019s a really, really fun, well-made game. But some parts of the community just get mad over things that really don\u2019t \u2026 it\u2019s just\u2026 you know. \u201cLily, someone who\u2019s been making League content for over 10 years and has devoted so much of her time to it, is still considered as random or someone that\u2019s not relevant enough to be doing what she\u2019s doing. What kind of copium are they sipping to be thinking that? Timestamp 4:08 Poki went on to call out certain comments, questioning calls for others to take Lily\u2019s place because they\u2019ve got a better rank in League of Legends, telling fans to \u201cput some respect on her name.\u201d \u201cThis level of toxicity for something this insignificant, that is meant to be entertaining anyway,\u201d she said, clearly a bit perplexed by the thought process of critics. \u201cI just think it\u2019s a little unreasonable \u2026 It\u2019s been really hard to convince myself to go back to streaming League, just because the community isn\u2019t as nice as so many other games\u2019 communities.\u201d MSI 2022 kicks off from May 10-29, and with all groups drawn, fans are now looking forward to the international League of Legends action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
