Leslie "Fuslie" hosted her first-ever YouTube Gaming livestream earlier today and took the opportunity to explain why she baited her audience by hosting a fake "final Twitch stream" a few days ago.
The 100 Thieves-affiliated streamer stated that a real final Twitch stream would make her too emotional. So she devised a "genius" plan to stage a fake last stream. She said:
On September 1, Leslie hosted a 10-hour stream and wrapped up the broadcast on an emotional note. She bid farewell and expressed gratitude to her Twitch audience for supporting her. Here's an excerpt from her "final" speech:
