If you don't understand what is happening on this social network, don't worry that we are going to explain the context of this story.

WHO IS THE XOKAS?

He is considered to be the highest-rated and largest streamer in relation to World of Warcraft. His experience in this video game caused a large number of fans to see him as a benchmark, as well as becoming his loyal followers on social networks and digital live broadcast platforms.

In addition to this, his particular charisma and humor managed to highlight him among the creative community in Spain and the world. Before coming to the world of the Internet, I lived the dream of many football lovers by being part of the editors of Real Madrid. He left everything he won to try his luck on other courts away from the matches and fans.

For 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, El Xokas received important recognition for its Internet career. He became the winner of the ESLAND award, receiving the title of “Breakthrough Streamer of the Year”. In addition, by January 2022, the Spaniard broke a record number of spectators by gathering 1.2 million people to follow the minute by minute of their participation in the SquidCraft Games.

THE FAKE TWITTER ACCOUNTS OF EL XOKAS

Why is Xokas trending? It all started when the Galician was in the middle of a live broadcast and decided to take a tour of the tabs he had open on his computer. When they arrived on Twitter, those who were connected managed to register that they were not connected to their official account, but with one named Cathy or @cathyvipi. This quickly caught the attention of users, who could not control their curiosity and started an investigation on the “little blue bird” social network to find out who was behind that user.

They quickly concluded that “Cathy” was an account that El Xokas used to respond to the 'haters' and 'trolls' who commented on their posts, initiating discussions with them through the social network. Some have even specified that this anonymous user left comments on the platforms of other famous streamers.

In his defense, the World of Warcraft expert said the following when he was exposed to more than 50 thousand people connected. “I made an account to insult people with few followers and not be attacked by my followers. You haven't discovered anything new. I couldn't respond to the imbeciles with my main account, because then my followers would have torn them apart.”
