TwitchCon is a real event where distributors and fans can interact, and in 2022 it was held at the San Diego Convention Center in California from October 7th to 9th local time. Companies other than Twitch also exhibited games and events, among which Lenovo and Intel jointly exhibited `` Standing on a narrow circular pedestal, pushing the opponent with a soft stick and pushing it down '' There was also an experience-based game. .

The height from the pedestal to the ground was less than 1m, and the floor was covered with soft cubic cushions, but the bottom was bare concrete. Several broadcasters who participated in this game reported that they were injured when jumping from the pedestal into the cube because the impact was not well absorbed.
