Valkyrae explains why she got emotional seeing Pokimane win the Legacy Award YouTube: QTCinderella \/ ValkyraeValkyrae burst out in tears after seeing Pokimane win the Legacy Award at The Streamer Awards, and the main reason why is that she felt Poki deserved it after everything she\u2019s done. Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter and Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys have been friends for a long time now. Not only have they collaborated on stream throughout the years, but they even lived together in the same house. In 2021, she told fans she loved Poki with her \u201cwhole heart and soul\u201d and thinks of her as a \u201clittle sister.\u201d So, it\u2019s not all that surprising that she got emotional when Poki won the Legacy Award at The Streamer Awards. However, she opened up about it more on stream and revealed that it came down to two things. First, she saw Poki crying when she won, which made her cry too. Second, because she feels it was well-deserved. She’s set the standard for those that have followed in her footsteps and has trailblazed new paths for streaming. Winning the prestigious Legacy Award is an indication of how important @pokimanelol has been to the streamer community as a whole. #TheStreamerAwards pic.twitter.com\/htQOHo7i7N \u2014 The Streamer Awards (@StreamerAwards) March 13, 2022 \u201cPoki won the Legacy Award!\u201d she said with a hint of excitement. \u201cIt was at the very end. They showed this highlight reel, and I was crying! Poki was sitting next to me. I looked over to her, and she was tearing up!\u201d The two of them are so close, it made her cry too. \u201cI could just tell that she was so grateful and felt so appreciated. I started sobbing because she was just sobbing. It was so cute. It was actually so cute. I loved it so much.\u201d That\u2019s not the only reason she was brought to tears though. It\u2019s also because she felt Poki deserved to win the award after everything she\u2019s accomplished in the streaming industry so far, and she was glad to see it happen. \u201cI am so glad she won because she deserves it. She paved the way for so many gamers and streamers. She\u2019s been around forever. She\u2019s been the first to do so many things in this industry. It was well deserved!\u201d Despite the emotional moment, Rae didn\u2019t win an award herself during the show. She was nominated for Best Variety Streamer along with Disguised Toast, Ludwig, and MoistCr1TiKaL, which was won by the latter. Still, she was thrilled to see her friends win. The Streamer Awards were a huge success, taking over Twitch for the duration it aired, reaching a peak of 380,000 viewers. So, there\u2019s a good chance we\u2019ll see it again and perhaps even see Rae win an award herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
