Valkyrae announces she’s hiring a new manager

During a recent late-night Valorant stream, the creator had some intriguing information for her community. Rachell ‘Rae’ Hofstetter, better known as Valkyrae, has been hunting for a manager lately. And the search has finally proven fruitful, as she has finally found a good fit.

The stream began with Valkyrae interacting with her audience. She explains she could have started with the stream earlier, but a 4 PM meeting kept her from doing that. Additionally, Rae clarifies she wasn’t grinding off-stream, something that the streamer has become used to recently.

But a fan accused her of simply sleeping instead of being in a meeting, and that prompted the streamer to spill the beans.

Rae claims “I had a meeting with my potential new manager today”. She seemed pretty excited about the meetup, as she was brimming with energy while she recounted her experience. Elaborating upon the candidate who might become her manager, she said,

“I think I landed a good one. I think I might actually have a brand new manager”

This potential hire means Valkyrae has an agent, assistant, and now a manager supporting her streaming career. While some fans wanted Rae to be careful, she quickly reminded them she has spent a considerable amount of time in the industry. So she is well aware of what she is doing.
