Summary

• A French Twitch streamer, Ponce, was shocked to find that the Bleed Purple award he received was not meant for him.
• The mix-up happened because both he and Japanese fighting game pro Daigo Umehara reached the necessary viewing hours at the same time, leading to confusion when the awards were distributed.

A Twitch streamer was surprised to learn that the award he received from the platform wasn’t actually intended for him. This event has sparked curiosity among fans regarding how such a significant mix-up took place.

Twitch gives awards to streamers when they hit certain milestones similar to YouTube’s awards system. The Bleed Purple statue is presented to those who reach 5 million hours viewed, but in this case, the award was mistakenly given to Ponce instead of Daigo, who had rightly fulfilled the criteria for it.

Despite climbing to 75 million hours watched, Ponce and Daigo’s names were both present on their awards, an error that could lead to complications if Twitch does not resolve it properly. Currently, it is uncertain whether either streamers have communicated with each other about this issue, or if the platform is aware.
