Almost every streamer has one or two people who they look up to and draw inspiration from. They usually credit their zeal and passion for streaming to their idols and end up learning a lot from them. Naturally, many would be curious who such people were for a streamer like Valkyrae.
In the past few months, Valkyrae has added multiple trophies to her cabinet and even more feathers to her cap. The Content Creator of the Year 2020 owes a lot of her success to her friends and family. However, she recently let her fans in on an interesting detail about her life. In a tweet on her second account, Rae named the first two streamers she started watching.

Lirik and Forsen are two of the oldest streamers still active on Twitch. They have been streaming on the platform ever since its inception in 2011. Naturally, most of the streamers who have started streaming in the past couple of years had started watching streams from this duo itself. Valkyrae, too, is one of those people who probably drew inspiration from these streamers to start streaming on Twitch.

Forsen has a pretty rowdy fanbase who call themselves the ‘Forsenboys’. However, owing to the streamer’s Swedish background, people also refer to his fans as ‘Forsen Bajs’. Naturally, Reddit and Twitter users couldn’t hold themselves back from making fun of Valkyrae once she came out as a ‘Bajs’ too.

However, many people also took the tweet positively and vowed to check out the duo’s channels. The streamers cater to a niche crowd, and most of Valkyrae’s fans don’t come inside that bracket. Therefore, a shoutout from her is definitely going to diversify Lirik and Forsen’s fanbase.
