Well this title is none other than the original Call of Duty Warzone that first arrived nearly three years ago.

But her very first experience with Activision’s free-to-play title didn’t go well as per her expectations. Not to mention that it left her completely frustrated to say the least.

Imane decided to jump into an online match of Call of Duty Warzone with a random squad. As she was totally new to the mysteries of Verdansk, the classic original map of the game, she was trying to figure out the basics. In fact, she didn’t even know the term Gulag in the first place. “I Still don’t know what a Gulag is”, she said while entering the map in a plane.

Anyone watching the video, above, could tell that Pokimane was the one, among her other teammates, who was having a really hard time in this Warzone match. While the mechanics were proving to be already challenging for her, she wasn’t even able to kill the enemy players. Her fans will be upset to know that their favorite Twitch gaming pro could only take down one opponent in this battle match.
