Kyedae Shymko has officially announced an indefinite hiatus from streaming. In a heartfelt statement shared on her official X (formerly Twitter) account, she cited ongoing health issues and a renewed focus on her competitive ambitions as the primary reasons for her decision.
“For those closest to me, this won’t come as a surprise,” Kyedae wrote. “Truthfully, streaming was never my dream or end goal.”
Kyedae, who rose to fame beginning in 2020 through VALORANT gameplay and lifestyle content, amassed over 3 million followers on Twitch in just four years. Her transparency and charisma earned her immense respect within the gaming community, especially during her time with the renowned esports organization 100 Thieves.

In her post, Kyedae revealed that the idea of stepping away had been weighing on her for years. Before diving into content creation full-time, she had originally planned to pursue a career in medicine.
“I put that on the back burner to give streaming a real shot,” she said. “Over time, though, I started to feel a growing sense of resentment toward it.”
Health concerns have played a significant role in her decision. Although she had hinted at her intentions in past streams, her recent activity had already shown signs of a slowdown—streaming just three times in March and only once in April.
“It’s what’s best for me right now—and honestly, I haven’t felt this happy and at peace in years,” she added. “Thank you all for the support up to this point. Stay happy, stay healthy, and take care of yourselves.”
