Pokimane’s streaming future could have been exposed by accident on Twitch

After revealing that her contract with Twitch had expired, popular streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys fuelled suspicions that she was transferring to YouTube – and Twitch may have leaked her choice ahead of time. Pokimane tweeted on January 31 that her Twitch contract had expired and that she would unveil the “next chapter” of her career on February 8.

Then, in the shape of a Wordle puzzle, YouTube appeared to tease a Pokimane signing, fueling speculation that she might be departing Amazon’s platform. With the release of Twitch Gameplan, a new advertising certification scheme, Twitch may have just slipped up on her decision.

Is it possible that Pokimane’s streaming decision was leaked on Twitch?

Twitch Gameplan is a “interactive learning experience, designed to assist media agencies and brands level up their advertising on Twitch,” according to Damian Burns, Senior Vice President of Twitch Europe. Twitch revealed its February 15 launch plans on the announcement website, which include “exclusive interviews with our most followed female broadcaster Pokimane and Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda.”

Could this suggest that Pokimane has already resigned from Twitch, which is why she’s taking part in Gameplan’s launch? We’ll have to wait and see, but if she just moved streaming sites, she’s unlikely to be involved.

In recent months, YouTube has made a number of significant steps. They signed contracts with Dr Lupo, TimTheTatman, and Ludwig, among others, with many more in the pipeline. She could be a huge addition to their ranks, and one of the biggest since Ninja and Shroud switched for Mixer.

Still, this new revelation could jeopardise Pokimane’s move to YouTube, but we’ll have to wait and see after she makes her announcement on February 8 and explains what’s next for her career.
