CINCINNATI, OHIO: IShowSpeed left a Twitch streamer in tears as he gifted him 100 subs.
In a heartwarming display of generosity, YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" gifted 100 Tier 1 Subs (valued at $499) to a fellow Twitch streamer, DeadlyPG, who is bravely navigating life with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
DeadlyPG, a UK-based streamer, uses his voice to control characters in Fortnite, showcasing incredible skill despite the challenges posed by SMA.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a genetic disorder affecting muscle movement control, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. DeadlyPG's unique approach to gaming caught the attention of IShowSpeed after he beat the 18-year-old using just his voice.

During a 1v1 match between IShowSpeed and DeadlyPG, the UK-based streamer demonstrated exceptional gaming prowess using voice commands. Despite IShowSpeed's best attempts, DeadlyPG secured victory in the final rounds, dominating the game.
"Ima drop a follow for you on Twitch," said Speed after the impressive gameplay. DeadlyPG expressed his deep appreciation, stating, "That means so much, bro. Thank you. That means so, so much for me. Thank you so much, man."
IShowSpeed went on to gift DeadlyPG 100 Subs, a gesture that left the Twitch streamer overwhelmed with gratitude.
Upon realizing the additional gift, DeadlyPG exclaimed, "Speed! Are you crazy? Thank you! A 100 Gifted! Yo, thank you so much, man! You didn't have to do that."
As Speed said, "Nah, it's fine, deserved bro," DeadlyPG remained shocked, continuing to express gratitude, "Thank you! Dude, what the f**k! Thanks so much. Dude, you're actually the GOAT. You're one of a kind, man, you're one of a kind."
IShowSpeed's gesture not only touched DeadlyPG but also resonated with the Twitch community, leading to a significant increase in DeadlyPG's followers, which surpassed 5.5K in a single night.
IShowSpeed's continued acts of generosity
IShowSpeed's recent act of gifting 100 Subs to a Twitch streamer coping with Spinal Muscular Atrophy is not the first instance of the YouTube streamer showcasing his benevolent side. Despite his sometimes eccentric behavior, IShowSpeed has consistently demonstrated a heart of gold through various charitable initiatives.
In October, during his visit to India, IShowSpeed made a significant donation to a needy family, leaving the recipients deeply moved and grateful. His generosity extended to a TikTok live session where he encountered an ailing elderly woman. During the session, he donated a TikTok Universe, the most valuable present on TikTok, valued at 44,999 coins, approximately $562.
Such instances highlight IShowSpeed's commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Beyond the gaming world, he continues to use his platform to spread kindness and support individuals facing challenges.
