Streamer, gamer, entertainer, friend? - QueenE on the intimacy of Twitch.TV

QueenE, real name Emily Krumlinde, has been a full-time streamer since 2014 and has amassed over 80,000 followers on Twitch.

She reached the top of the Starcraft 2 ladder as a professional esports athlete and has since found her audience by streaming a variety of games.

As a fan, I feel that QueenE captivates what it takes to be a streamer on Twitch. A good sense of humour, a take it on the chin attitude towards trolls and she isn’t afraid to dish out some realness and life lessons to her chat.

She entices people by being herself, sharing her passions, and always allowing people to be who they are whether that’s a grumpy version of themselves or somebody completely different.

The world of Twitch can be daunting, so that is why I spoke to Emily to help us understand. Where do you start? How do you navigate the “realness” in this entertainment landscape? Can streamers really be your friends?
