The worst injury occurred during a Face Off event, a promotion between Lenovo and Intel. This Gladiators-style contest involved two people trying to knock each other off.
What just happened? TwitchCon, the Twitch convention that celebrates all things streaming and gaming, took place over the weekend, and it was pretty eventful. In addition to Master Chief grinding away on stage with Megan Thee Stallion, one streamer broke her back and another broke her ankle participating in events at the show.
The worst injury occurred during a Face Off event, a promotion between Lenovo and Intel. This Gladiators-style contest involved two people trying to knock each other off podiums using large, padded poles and into a pit filled with foam cubes.
But whoever filled the pit with those cubes should have added them a bit more liberally, especially as some streamers were jumping off the podiums after a battle. One of these was Adriana Chechik, a streamer and adult performer with over 800,000 Twitch followers.
Probably the most painful thing I’ve seen in awhile. Twitch streamer Adriana Chechik has confirmed broken her back in two separate places following this jump at TwitchCon pic.
