Kyedae was recently named as the newest member of the experienced 100 Thieves squad. Her presence is legendary not only for her as the team’s first Valorant streamer and foreign content producer, but also for women in the gaming world as a whole. Perhaps a new age of gaming is being accompanied by adding Kyedae to the culture.

Although the gaming world has always been known to be a hostile environment, there is a significant difference in the rate at which female gamers receive negative comments. Though it’s easy for some people to let these comments get the best of them, Kyedae says she’ll simply “match the energies” of toxic and hateful players in order to defend herself and other female gamers.

“It doesn’t quite feel real yet that I am now part of 100 Thieves,” said Kyedae Shymko. “Everyone in this organization is so admirable and I’m incredibly honoured to be a part of this team. I started my streaming career less than half a year ago and knowing that I have such a talented group of creators and staff behind me makes me feel very supported and it inspires me to work even harder. I just want to give a huge thank you to the 100 Thieves team. There is so much more that goes into every photo shoot, video, content piece, etc., than what meets the eye. I’m so excited for the future and all the content we’ll be able to create together!”

Kyedae now has the marketing and content development departments of 100 Thieves to help her increase her rising fanbase. Despite being the newest addition to the content team at 100 Thieves, she already has the same presence as the other female developers.
