Internet React as Valkyrae & Cinna Postpone Marathon Stream Due to LA Wildfires
3 min read
Twitch: Valkyrae
The highly anticipated week-long streaming marathon planned by popular creators Valkyrae and Cinna, dubbed the “Sisathon,” has been postponed due to the devastating wildfires engulfing parts of Los Angeles. The decision to delay the event was announced during a January 8 broadcast, as the rented Airbnb for the stream was located in an area heavily impacted by the fires.
Wildfires Ravage Los Angeles
The fires, which began on January 6 in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, have destroyed over 500 acres and continue to spread rapidly due to strong winds. Areas such as Malibu and Santa Monica have also been affected, leaving homes, historical landmarks, and other structures in ruins. These dangerous conditions have forced many residents to evacuate, including high-profile streamers like Shroud and Cash Nasty.

A Disrupted Marathon Plan
Valkyrae and Cinna had been preparing the Sisathon for weeks, even decorating the Airbnb intended to host the marathon and lining up special guests for the event. The marathon was initially scheduled to begin on January 9, marking Valkyrae’s triumphant return to Twitch after five years.
During the broadcast, Valkyrae shared her disappointment, explaining the situation:
“The Airbnb that we had booked and were prepping for the marathon… it’s actually in the fire zone. So, unfortunately, we have to reschedule.”
Cinna echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the severity of the situation:
“Everything is closed over there. There’s no power. The house is in the danger zone. We cannot risk it.”

Emotional Fallout and Safety First
The announcement took an emotional turn as the pair expressed their sadness over the unexpected delay. Valkyrae, visibly upset, remarked: “I’m so sad. This was supposed to start tomorrow.” Cinna remained hopeful, suggesting that the marathon could resume in a few days if conditions improved. However, Valkyrae was less optimistic, hinting that the event might face a more prolonged postponement.
Despite their disappointment, the creators stressed that safety remains their top priority. “The house is between two different fires. It’s crazy,” Valkyrae noted, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the well-being of their team and guests.
Community Support
Fans have rallied around Valkyrae and Cinna, offering words of encouragement and understanding. The streaming community has also seen other events disrupted by the wildfires, including Shroud’s Fragathon charity stream.
At the time of writing, there’s no confirmed date for the rescheduled Sisathon. However, Valkyrae and Cinna remain committed to delivering the marathon once conditions improve, ensuring it’s both safe and enjoyable for all involved.
This situation highlights the unpredictable challenges streamers face, balancing content creation with real-world emergencies. For now, the Sisathon is on hold, but fans eagerly await its return.
