"OTV will always have a special place in my heart": Twitch giant Pokimane leaves OfflineTV

Twitch powerhouse Imane "Pokimane" has officially parted ways with iconic content creator group OfflineTV. As one of its founding members, the Canadian online personality becomes the first to "graduate" from the organization and has promised to keep in touch with her former members by remaining a vital part of the OTV & Friends network.

Imane is perhaps one of the most well-known female content creators worldwide and an inspiration to thousands, if not millions, of women looking to start their careers as gaming streamers. OfflineTV shared pictures of the said graduation on its social media to much fanfare as fans from all over the world wished her the best for her next journey.

Pokimane herself reacted, tagging everyone and saying she will always have a place for OTV in her heart.

"Thanks for the years of content and camaraderie. OTV will always have a special place in my heart & I look forward to supporting each other in all of our future adventures."

Why did Pokimane decide to leave OfflineTV? Reasons explored

OfflineTV has been an integral part of the North American streaming scene since its formation back in 2017. Founded by Scarra, Chris Chan, and Imane, the organization has pumped out content consistently over the years, with Pokimane being one of the group's most influential members.

As an iconic Twitch streamer, she still holds the title of the most followed female streamer on the platform, with over 9.3 million followers at the time of writing. Over the years, she has continued to heavily collaborate with streamers of the group, which begs the question of why she would decide to move on.

In the very same Twitter thread under the picture shared by the official OfflineTV account, they have shared a couple of answers to these burning questions, knowing that fans will have such queries. The singular point that answers the question of why Pokimane left OTV reads:

"OTV is a big time commitment for everyone involved - after being here for over almost six years and seeing that the organization is in a good spot, she has decided to step away from her position as a full-time member and focus on the next chapter of her life & career."

The tweet also assured fans that she will not disappear from their collaborations and that the "graduation" is on good terms. OfflineTV also mentioned its commitment to creating quality content with or without its co-founder:

"Everything will remain the same - We'll do our best to create entertaining content and experiences for you all and keep working to improve it at the same time. We will miss having Poki around as much, but this is definitely not the last you will see of her!"
