Pokimane Discusses How League of Legends Reality Show Meeting Turned Into a “Weird Date”

Pokimane’s Bizarre Brush with Reality TV

During a recent episode of Ludwig’s podcast, *The Yard*, popular Twitch streamer and content creator Pokimane recounted a surprising experience from her early days. She was approached to star in a reality TV show centered around League of Legends, yet the venture took an unexpected turn following a peculiar meeting with the show’s director.

Background on the Project

Before making a name for herself as a full-time streamer, Pokimane was actively building her Twitch channel while attending school. It was during this period that she was recruited by a team interested in developing a reality series featuring five female gamers competing in League of Legends.

Coaching and Casting in Hollywood

As part of the show’s structure, the production team arranged for a professional coach to help enhance the gameplay skills of the participants. Pokimane noted that the project was spearheaded by a Hollywood director, adding a level of intrigue to the experience. She recalled, “We had a coach, a full team, and more. They flew me out to LA and I took a meeting with the director.”

A Memorable Meeting

However, what should have been an exciting opportunity quickly turned awkward. Pokimane described her meeting with the director as reminiscent of a “weird ass date”where she found herself dining alone with an elderly man. She reflected, “In hindsight, it was almost like some weird ass date because it’s like me and this old man having dinner.” [Timestamp: 1:31 in the video]

The Disappearance of the Project

Upon returning from Los Angeles, Pokimane faced further confusion as the project seemed to fizzle out. “It wasn’t like fully ghost after, but it got really weird. They were like ‘we’re really trying…’ and then it fizzled out,” she recounted. The sudden lack of communication from the crew left her baffled and marked the end of what could have been a major chapter in her career.

This enigmatic tale is just one of many recent stories Pokimane has shared.
