Counter-Strike Streamer Reveals Face on Twitch Stream
One of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s most famous streamers, known as “Theonemanny,” had an unexpected mishap during a recent Twitch stream.
While playing a casual match on an Operation Hydra hostage map called Agency, Theonemanny experienced a glitch with his “Facerig” software. Facerig is a program that uses facial recognition to allow users to embody different characters.
It took Theonemanny about fifteen seconds to realize that his real face was being shown on the stream due to the stream delay. He was able to maintain his character during those fifteen seconds of unexpected fame. However, when he saw his face on the second monitor, he immediately ended the stream and deleted the VOD. He even tweeted an expletive in response, leading his fans to reply with “doge” memes.
While many in the CS:GO community found the face reveal amusing, some have questioned its authenticity. A Reddit user (/u/zedyy) suggested that it may have been intentional, possibly as a way for Theonemanny to end his stream for good. Since the incident, Theonemanny’s social media accounts have remained silent.
The streamer, who goes by the name “Manny,” is associated with SoaR Gaming and considers himself a “professional idiot.” He has built his Twitch identity around being a carefree dog who doesn’t care about others’ opinions. In addition to streaming CS:GO, he also plays PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and “goes on walks” with his “owner.”
Hopefully, Manny will return to his entertaining Twitch streams with the same spontaneous attitude that his fans love.
