"Data is cooked" - IShowSpeed's editor reveals why YouTuber isn't streaming during India vs. Pakistan cricket match

YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" had an exciting streaming opportunity today (October) 14 as one of the special guests at the Narendra Modi Stadium to witness the India vs. Pakistan match in the ongoing ICC Men's World Cup 2023. Regrettably, the streamer's editor confirmed that the planned stream couldn't proceed due to significant connectivity problems.

Slipz, his cameraman and editor, turned to his X account to disclose that they were facing data-related problems. This issue wasn't unexpected, given that numerous stadiums in India are equipped with signal jammers. This is what Slipz wrote:

"Yea this data is cooked ggs."

"Stadium that’s being jammed" - Slipz reveals why IShowSpeed couldn't stream from the stadium

IShowSpeed had high expectations for today, and as of the time of writing this, he is still present in the stadium with hopes of watching Virat Kohli in action. The streamer has expressed his significant admiration for the player.

However, it appears that his reactions won't be streamed, as the stadium is equipped with signal jammers that are preventing him from going live. Slipz, his editor, said:

"oh yea bro for sure in the stadium that’s being jammed and the public and private wi-fi networks both pulling 0.5mbps!"

However, all hope is not lost for IShowSpeed's YouTube channel. Both Slipz and a verified fan channel have confirmed that instead of a live stream, they will capture his reactions and create a vlog to upload later:

It's worth noting that a comparable disruption took place during yesterday's stream when Darren visited Daler Mehndi's residence in New Delhi. Reportedly, YouTube removed the stream due to the platform's perception that the content was stolen.

What did the fans say?

Naturally, fans were looking forward to the stream. However, it appears they have to wait till at least tomorrow before they can watch him live again:
