Pokimane  Imane Anys (born 14 May 1996), better known by her online alias Pokimane, is a Moroccan Canadian internet personality. As a Twitch streamer and YouTuber, Anys is best known for her live streams on Twitch, where she showcases her video gaming experiences, most notably in "League of Legends" and "Fortnite". She is a member of OfflineTV, an online social entertainment group of content creators. Anys attended McMaster University and studied chemical engineering, but dropped out later to pursue her streaming career full time. She gained 450,000 followers on Twitch in 2017, earning her account a place within the 100 most followed on the platform. As a result of her account's rise on the platform in 2017, the Shorty Awards named her as the Best Twitch Streamer of the year. The Shorty Awards detailed that her gameplay and commentary streams of "League of Legends" propelled her to popularity on Twitch. Anys had a cameo appearance in a "League of Legends" trailer announcing a new game mode. Anys also has been noted to stream gameplay and commentary of "Fortnite", which she first streamed as part of a sponsorship. At E3 in 2018, Epic Games, the developers of "Fortnite", arranged a pro–am event. The event paired streamers with mainstream celebrities in a match of "Fortnite"s "Battle Royale" mode; Anys was paired with rapper Desiigner but shortly before the event, he was replaced with Josh Hart. In mid-March 2019, Anys addressed her declining amount of "Fortnite" streams, stating that she needed to "think about what I like or dislike about the content that I've been making." Tech news website Digital Trends described her "laidback but enthusiastic personality" as "perfectly suited to long-form streams." The site also detailed that she frequently interacts with her audience. Aside from streaming gaming content, Anys also streams miscellaneous real-world moments, as well as a podcast. As one of the more popular streamers on the platform, Twitch has directly partnered with Anys. In July 2018, Twitch selected her as one of 15 ambassadors for the 2018 iteration of their TwitchCon event. Later that month, Twitch also scheduled Anys as a partner for their Twitch Creator Camp, a series of broadcasts and articles designed to help content creators build successful channels. Social Blade listed Anys as the 7th most followed user on Twitch, with over 4.8 million followers as of 19 May 2020.
