However, it didn’t seem like the prize money or the glory of winning really took his interest, but instead, having the ability to sell out to a whole new audience via the main Twitch Rivals stream – even if the directors of the broadcast didn’t take too kindly to it.

However, all that had happened was that he’d minimized Apex Legends, headed to his Twitch channel and subscribed to himself using Twitch Prime.

The streamer isn’t the only one to try and plug the free subscription service while on a big stage and end up leaving people confused.
