Quintin "Quin69" is a 31-year-old professional gamer and Twitch streamer from New Zealand. Quin was recently in the news for spending thousands of dollars on a 5-star Legendary Gem in Diablo Immortal. During his latest livestream, the pro gamer used the costly gem to upgrade a 1-star, leaving fans and Diablo gamers stunned.

Quin was formally a member of Online Performers Group, an online managerial organization. Presently, he streams various games on Twitch, including Path of Exile and the newly launched free-to-play multiplayer online action game, Diablo Immortal.

Since early June, the Kiwi streamer has spent tens of thousands of dollars to acquire a 5-star legendary gem. It wasn't until he had splashed nearly 25 thousand dollars by June 19 that he got the desired gem.

Collecting and consuming any Legendary gems is the best way to upgrade the character class in Diablo Immortal. Over the past few weeks, Quin has been relentlessly spending money to procure a 5-star gem on the newly launched F2P multiplayer game.

Although Legendary Gems can be acquired by participating in Elder Rifts using Legendary Crests, a quicker but more expensive way to collect them is by purchasing Eternal Legendary Crests for 160 Eternal Orbs. Quin69 later calculated in a stream that he had spent nearly 25,000 NZ Dollars to acquire a 5-star gem.

In an astonishing clip uploaded to the streamers' subreddit page, r/LivestreamFail, by user u/trumanr9, the New Zealander was seen upgrading a 1-star-rated gem called 'Chained Death.' He briefly scrolled through his inventory and shockingly selected the 5-star-rated Legendary Gem, 'Echoing Shade,' to upgrade a one-star, even though he was spending excess 'energy.'

In the surprising clip, Quin69 goes on to say:
