Leslie Ann Fu[3][4] (born November 23, 1992), also known by her online alias fuslie, is an American Twitch streamer. She is a content creator for lifestyle brand and gaming organization 100 Thieves.

Early life[]

Fu was born on November 23, 1992 to Chinese parents in the San Francisco Bay Area. She attended Homestead High School in Cupertino, California.[3] Fu graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2014, earning a bachelor's degree in biological sciences. Fu briefly attended graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles for teaching before dropping out to pursue streaming full-time.[5]

Career[]

Fu began streaming in February 2015 after being introduced to the activity by her roommates. Before branching out towards a wider variety of games, she primarily streamed League of Legends.[6][7] She briefly was a streamer for professional League of Legends teams Immortals and Phoenix1.[8]

In December 2018, Fu, along with fellow Twitch streamer BoxBox, hosted a 4-day streaming boot camp titled "Streamer Camp", an event aimed at improving the skills of up-and-coming Twitch streamers and content creators. A second edition of the event was held in June 2019.[9]

In April 2019, Fu was featured in an advertisement for karaoke video game Twitch Sings.[10]

Fu was one of many streamers affected by the large wave of DMCA takedown notices issued against Twitch in June 2020.[11][12] After receiving two strikes, Fu criticized the platform's response to the situation saying, "On top of it being near impossible for me to delete 100,000 clips, the creator dashboard isn't loading any of my old clips. How am I supposed to protect myself here? This is an issue way bigger than me. Content creators aren't being informed by Twitch on the proper steps to protect themselves from this happening, and there has to be a better way to handle this than suddenly striking our accounts and banning us out of nowhere"[13][14]

In June 2020, Fu participated in a Chess.com tournament for Twitch streamers titled PogChamps.[15] She made it to the quarterfinals of the consolation bracket, where she lost to fellow streamer xQc.[16] Fu would later be one of over 40 streamers featured on the cover of the August 2020 edition of Chess Life.[17]

On September 2, 2020, Fu announced that she signed an exclusive contract with Twitch.[18]

On May 12, 2021, Fu announced that she joined lifestyle brand and gaming organization 100 Thieves as a content creator.[19]

On August 12, 2021, Fu starred in the music video for Sub Urban and Bella Poarch's song, "Inferno".[20] She also participated in a stream promoting the video. That same day, she hit 1 million followers on Twitch.[21]

Philanthropy[]

In March 2019, Fu partnered with the North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) and the Anaheim Ducks hockey team in holding an NHL 19 tournament.[22] The tournament gave away over $25,000 in scholarships and grants to high school students.[23] Fu has also spoken to NASEF voicing her support for women in gaming.[24]

On December 2, 2019, Fu held a charity fundraiser stream benefitting Stand Up to Cancer. Fu and her viewers raised over $30,000 for cancer research.[25]

On October 19, 2021, Fu in collaboration with 100 Thieves hosted a charity fundraiser streamer for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, raising $55,000.[26]

Personal life[]

Fu dated former OfflineTV manager, Edison Park and the couple became engaged on April 7, 2019[27][28] before announcing their split in September 2021.[29][30]
