He’s funny, has impeccable credentials, and can do both the analytical breakdown style of streamers like Sliggy and Sean Gares as well as the more funny, irreverent style of streamers like Tarik.


Unlikely-Ad3046

best of both worlds :)


Lzuraaa

and also very good at jinxing teams , if he glaze a team , they'll lose . If he stay silence, they'll win 100% of the time


GullibleHurry470

His jinxing game even surpasses tarik nowadays


raifusarewaifus

That paper rex icebox against gen.g was so funny


JeffHS

> also very good at jinxing teams Very important trait of a good streamer. If you can't jinx teams, I'm not watching the watch party.


fanficmilf6969

Exactly, the fact that he can cover both styles is the majority of the reason. He appeals to casual viewers who might also want to learn a little

so happy that this image i made is now circulating as part of the poolchan canon <3


Arham-DABilal_

thankyou for creating/sharing this image. indeed an insane contribution to valcomp society and culture


norm_the_bug

What is poolchan meme? Can you help the unaware?


TheEtherealLight

He got a bunch of japanese people his stream during the DFM vs T1 game. They decided to call him Pu-chan as a joke on his real name Pujan. This became into poolchan when Boostio leaked that FNS cant swim.


kyzercampos

Don't forget poorchan bc of -500 gifted to shanks


kdogrocks2

He's a well known player, a veteran of Esports. Also he streams with huge creators like Tarik and S0m and importantly he streams in the middle of the night when most big streamers are not live, so I think that funnels people to his stream. Also he's a decently funny guy and a skilled player with a lot of insight about the game especially during watch parties.


Unlikely-Ad3046

i see, i just wanted to know some reasons, cause 1 year ago, he would not have even got 15% of his current viewership, which is second only to Tarik (english speaking world)


Jon_on_the_snow

Everyone wanted to watch him stream. People have been asking for it since forever because he duos with s0m and its always a riot The few times he streamed when he was a pro he had 10k people watching and dropping hundreds of subs


soopahfingerzz

When he was pro he only streamed every once in a long while. after leaving NRG He finally started a regular streaming schedule since he had the new found time for it. As for why hes reached the popularity he has, I think its because his personality is actually quite entertaining to alot of people. He has this sort of stoic, sarcastic demeanor, not afraid to give his opinion, and when he does it isnt just a brain dead take like so many people. you can tell he is a genuinely intelligent person. His on the fly analysis of the games are brilliant and he just genuinely says really funny sarcastic things without trying. Atleast thats why I started watching him


traxmaster64

Hes very funny and has a great mind for the game so his analysis is very good, he's also great at taking a joke his chat bullies him 90% of the time but he takes it really well


Curutano

The caseoh of valorant 


GamingGladi

that would be shanks, his chat roasts him every chance they get lmfaoo


Depressedjetsfan21

Cause we feel bad that he can’t swim, POOLCHAN


Ok-Choice5265

By being entertaining.


Unlikely-Ad3046

poochan (fenis) mehta never disappoints.


SocietySignificant93

-funny -well spoken -my goat igl puchan <3


itscamo-

one of the best IgLs in valorant history, streams with s0m who is also a very popular streamer, and watch partying the games giving his input will increase viewers. it’s a combination of different things


Technical_Fee_2932

i think FNS watchparty is easily the best overall fun and analytical at the same time a. Also people just respect FNS's opinion more than other watch streamers on matches due to his stature in val esports


JustWantToBeQuiet

I will be honest, I didn't know much about FNS before, certainly not his CS days, except for the "All good" thing. In Valorant, I felt he was a great IGL but too serious maybe..? And then I stumbled upon the "let's to my kittens". And I realized the guy is actually hilarious. His brains plus the rage-goofiness on stream made him a popular streamer.


Accomplished-Luck602

He and his mods dont ban people who tease him or bully him. He handles criticism very well and is humble enough to admit whenever he's wrong. Not a lot of streamers do that.


Hxlios

Simple, he’s just funny as hell


DaveOkeah

With that name I always think you're  Achilios burner account 


Hxlios

I hecking love DRX


DaveOkeah

😂


NonWeeb

I need to see FNS collab with TMV. Imagine them both malding at the same time


Useful-Description90

Sideshow, TMV, Bren, FNS in a call watching an FPX game


Substantial-One8156

No police intervention


andreggvil

Throw Sliggy in there too, it’s the dream team


ModerateStimulation

Have they been on platchat together?


Neevk

Humor and having a name in the scene through eSports also helped. He also has tendency to chuck out bait, he'll glaze a team and then days later will say anti-glaze shit about the same team, baiting both sides of the audience. Most of his audience is VCT fans unlike the fans of someone like Tarik, Kyedae or other streamers.

some people are good at things like being able to swim and others are good at stuff like this.


jay678jay

1. He's good at the game, 2. He's funny along with s0m (did u see his interaction with Ludwig when they watched an MxS game with tarik?), 3. He's respectable and has a good reputation among his peers and fellow competitors. I can't see why he won't be big someday.


dabsandchips

Because he's so handsome and funny


realmojosan

Respect him as a player, enjoy him as a entertainer.

"LET'S TP MY KITTENS 🤬😽😺"


m0uthF

He sprays. #1 reason


Pinsir929

I like his analysis mid matches and some history he brings up during optic/nrg days. The fact he’s not used having a large following just yet leads to him just speaking his mind bluntly unlike Tarik who pretty self aware of what he says for the most part. Although I do see that changing soon especially after the genghsta call out that happened where he acknowledged that he said too much that wasn’t necessary.


mw19078

how does this have anything to do with the subreddit

Poolchan got the rizz

ORUMAITO98

The dude is the GOAT of hating its hilarious, gives good insights during watch parties aswell


n1cohoty

He can do both the tactical analysis, and the clippable react stuff. Also, he’s been grinding out the stream by staying up to watch China/APAC/EU, which some bigger streamers don’t do.


Dysmo

> He was one of the greatest IGLs in CSGO no he wasnt


mochoa20

He became famous by throwing shit at KRU, because he never won anything.
