Popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive section on Twitch and scrolled past the ongoing tournaments will usually find Sliker dominating a match at some point.
The popular British streamer, who has over 159,000 followers on the livestreaming platform, is still yet to receive a partnership from Twitch – which grants access to more channel support and the chance to use Twitch’s ‘bounties’ system to attain sponsorships. However, the ongoing battle to be recognized by Twitch has given him plenty of ammo to prank his loyal viewers.

Sliker has become one of the most popular streamers on Twitch in recent months.During his October 11 stream, the popular broadcaster had been keeping up with his regular routine of switching between CS:GO games and just chatting with his viewers when a break gave him the chance to pull off his prank.
“Oh my god, oh my f**king god, I got partnered,” Sliker screamed as he jumped out of his chair and threw his headphones off. “I got partnered! oh my f**king god, holy s**t,” he added before turning the tables on his fans.
The streamer quickly swapped to show his screen on-stream, which hilariously started playing a ‘Jebaited’ remix as Sliker got up and started dancing around his room.

“The people that are butthurt chat, actually believed it,” he said. “You already know when the people are actually butthurt they took it serious.”
