During a livestream on January 24, Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" decided to have a "serious conversation," revealing that YouTube Gaming sensation Thomas "Sykkuno" had removed her from his Valorant friends list once again.
The Moroccan-Canadian personality was curious as to what she needed to do to stop Sykkuno from deleting her from his friends list. Pokimane jokingly asked if it was a "me problem," and stated:
"I need to have a serious conversation with you guys. Especially for anybody that watches Sykkuno. Like, I know you guys think he's like your shy king but we have to have a serious discussion right now. Okay? What do I need to do... so that he stops deleting me off of games. Like, is it a me problem? Because if it is, I want to know!"
"Should I delete him back? Is that how I'm going to teach him?" - Pokimane devises a plan after Sykkuno deletes her from his Valorant friends list once again
At the 30-minute mark of her Valorant livestream, the OfflineTV co-founder took the opportunity to have a "serious discussion," revealing that Sykkuno had deleted her from his friends list once again.
Pokimane recalled the first time the YouTuber deleted her, saying she "turned a blind eye." She then joked that her friendship with Sykkuno was becoming "strained:"
"I want to do better for you, Sykkuno. What is it? Because the first time I was able to turn a blind eye. But now it's been twice. Or three times? I'm losing count! That's how strained my friendship with Sykkuno has become! I'm kidding! But I saw that clip, okay? Saw that s**t on Twitter."

The 26-year-old streamer then devised a plan to get back at Sykkuno, calling it a "villain arc:"
"Should I delete him back? Is that how I'm going to teach him? Oh! Oh my god! Catch me after this game, in my villain arc. Villain arc."
A few moments later, Pokimane's attention was drawn to a viewer, who asked her to "be better." She responded by asserting that she would be deleting Sykkuno's ID from her Valorant friends list, saying:
"'Don't. Be better.' No! I don't want to be better, anymore! I'm tired. I have a 401k... am I 50 years old? Let me do something dumb! I'm deleting Sykkuno off of Valorant!"
Fans react to Pokimane speaking about her "villain arc"
The YouTube comments section featured a couple of fan reactions, wherein a viewer jokingly suggested that the streamers were "not friends anymore." Here's a snippet of the fan comments:
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Pokimane has engaged in light-hearted banter with Sykkuno. During a livestream on July 24, 2022, the former "confronted" the latter, predicting that he would delete her from his friends list sometime in the future.
