Pokimane recently made an appearance at TwitchCon, a highly anticipated gaming convention, in Paris. The event was buzzing with excitement as fans flocked to catch a glimpse of their favorite online personalities. However, amidst the chaos, one fan took his enthusiasm to extreme lengths to click a picture with Pokimane.
As Pokimane made her way through the convention, her attentive bodyguard noticed the overzealous fan approaching with a determined look on his face.

Despite the bodyguard's attempts, the fan seemed relentless in his mission, displaying a persistence that was hard to ignore.
Curious to observe the outcome of this unexpected encounter, Pokimane calmly assessed the situation and seemed to handle it with grace. However, it wasn't until later that the true identity of the fan was revealed. It turned out that the fan in question was none other than Esfand, a fellow content creator known for his humor and playful nature. Esfand had taken his love for pranks a step further by pretending to be an obsessed fan, causing the security guard to believe he was dealing with a genuinely fervent admirer.
