Pokimane celebrates reaching Diamond Rank on Valorant

Imane “Pokimane” Anys has done herself and her fans proud after reaching Diamond Rank on Valorant. It’s an incredible achievement for the variety streamer and one that proves her doubters wrong once again.

She said that while it might not be that impressive to some, she’s really proud of herself. That’s because it’s the first tactical shooter she’s invested a lot of time and energy into to get good at.

Now that she’s reached Diamond Rank, Pokimane is in top 4% of Valorant players in the world. It’s nice to see her hard work and dedication to the game finally pay off.

If she’s gunning for the top, there’s still a long way to go. Less than 1% of players make up the Immortal Rank according to Esport Tales, and a mere fraction of a percent reach Radiant Rank. But considering it’s only populated by the absolute elite, nobody expects a variety streamer to make it that far.

Still, Pokimane has done incredibly well to make it this far, and it might not even be her plateau. She could very well reach Immortal Rank, and that would be insane. Either way, it’s awesome to watch her learn and grow as a player, and it’s even better watching her style on her opponents.

Someone she has owned time and time again is fellow streamer Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, who joked that coming up against Pokimane is a “miserable experience” before congratulating her on her awesome achievement.

It’s nice to see Pokimane streaming again after she took an extended break. There’s no doubt that she needed it. But thankfully, she’s bounced back in style, and we can’t wait to see how much further she will climb.
