In a clip called “teemo pokiAww,” Pokimane can be seen running by the camera when she gives off a small chuckle that surprised the streamer after watching it for a third time.

“What the fuck was my laugh at the beginning of that,” Pokimane said before her realization. “Oh my god, that really does sound like Teemo! Holy shit! I didn’t really hear it until now. Oh my god!”

In her disbelief, the streamer went to YouTube to hear Teemo’s laugh on repeat. After which the realization was starting to sink in leading her to jokingly say: “I need to off myself.”

What’s a Teemo?

For those who don’t know, Teemo is one of League of Legends’ original champions and has stayed popular throughout the game’s life due to his immense cuteness, among other reasons.

Teemo is a Yordle, who are spirits beings in League of Legends mythos who typically take the shape of short bipeds. A major reason for Teemo being so well known is because of the chaos and calamity he can cause for anyone who doesn’t know how to play against him.

His kit has everything from indefinite invisibility to a blinding poison dart to hidden explosive mushrooms.
