Acute Myeloid Leukaemia is a type of cancer that affects blood and bone marrow and is considered to be quite rare to impact those under the age of 45. Kyedae did not reveal details on how early her cancer may have been caught. Hopefully, Kyedae's cancer diagnosed has occured during an early phase. However, as stated in the tweet above, she is starting treatment soon.
As reported by Dotesports.com, Kyedae works under the 100 Thieves umbrella and is said to average almost 10,000 viewers with each stream. What’s more, Kyedae is also in a relationship with another popular streamer, TenZ. Who just so happens to work for 100 Thieves' rival, Sentinels.
Developed by Riot Games, Valorant is said to be inspired by CS:GO and is one of the more popular free-to-play, first-person tactical shooters on PC. While Riot Games is said to want to bring Valorant to consoles, there is no indication as to when that might happen.
I speak for everyone at GAMINGbible when I say we wish Kyedae a speedy and full recovery. We can’t wait to see you kicking ass in Valorant in the near future when you’re done kicking cancer's ass. You’ve got this.
