Twitch has made a hilarious mistake, sending fighting game legend Daigo Umehara’s prestigious Bleed Purple statue (for reaching 5 million hours watched) to the wrong streamer! Instead of landing in Japan, the award found its way to French variety streamer Ponce, who was completely clueless about who Daigo was! 🤯📢
🎮 Daigo Umehara – A Fighting Game Icon
🔹 Daigo “The Beast” Umehara is one of the five gods of fighting games, known worldwide for his dominance in Street Fighter and multiple Evo championships. 🏆🔥
🔹 With nearly a decade on Twitch and 448K+ followers, he has amassed an insane 5 million hours watched—a feat Twitch recognized with a special Bleed Purple statue.
But instead of reaching Daigo, his hard-earned award was sent across the globe… to someone else! 🌍😂
📦 Twitch’s Epic Mix-Up – Ponce Gets the Wrong Award!
During a March 2025 livestream, French streamer Ponce discovered the mistake while on a call with a friend. His reaction? Absolutely priceless! 😆🎥
🗣️ “Wait, bro, it’s the first time I’m really looking at it… I have something to tell you—it’s exceptional. It’s NOT mine!” 😳
📜 He then read the inscription and realized it was meant for DaigoTheBeasTV—but had no idea who Daigo was! 🤣
After looking him up on Twitch, Ponce burst out laughing, realizing the absurdity of the situation. The clip quickly went viral, leaving fans in stitches. 😂
🤔 What Happens Next? Fans Have Ideas!
So far, Twitch, Daigo, and Ponce have not publicly addressed the mix-up. Even funnier? Ponce had the statue for weeks before noticing! 🤦♂️
But fans have already started coming up with creative solutions:
💡 “Ponce should bring the statue to Evo and hand it to Daigo during an IRL stream!” – A Reddit user
💡 “Imagine a Daigo vs. Ponce fight for the trophy at Evo!” 😂🎮
With Evo 2025 returning to Las Vegas from August 1–3, and Daigo almost always in attendance, this could be the perfect redemption arc! 🏆✨
💭 Final Thoughts
Twitch’s latest blunder has led to one of the funniest gaming mix-ups in recent memory! Will Ponce return the statue to Daigo in Las Vegas? Or will Twitch step in to fix the mistake? 🤔
