<p>The Twitch streaming platform is responsible for some of the most iconic memes and emotes on the internet. One in particular—ResidentSleeper—has been around for a decade. Occasionally, you might stumble across a Twitch chat with an emote featuring a gentleman quite clearly asleep. Most have seen it, but some might not know the background and the streamer responsible for the legendary moment.&nbsp;</p>

Ahead of the 72-hour redemption stream for the original ResidentSleeper, here is what you should know about OddlerPro.&nbsp;


Who is OddlerPro? ResidentSleeper emote explained


<p>Ten years ago, Twitch streamer OddlerPro enjoyed moderate success—primarily as a Resident Evil streamer. He first joined Twitch in October 2009 but streamed on Justin TV beforehand. OddlerPro became synonymous with outrageously long marathon streams, wherein he regularly broadcasted Resident Evil and other games for 24 to 48 hours.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In September 2012, OddlerPro looked to do the unthinkable: Stream for 72 hours straight without any sleep. In theory, it seemed impossible; how could a person stare at a screen and play video games for three days without stopping? OddlerPro wanted to prove that it was possible.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The resilient streamer made it 65 hours, 43 minutes, and 24 seconds into the 72-hour broadcast. Unfortunately, a loading screen and untimely pause orchestrated OddlerPro's downfall. At that time, in front of 13,000 viewers, the ResidentSleeper emote was born.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Around 30 minutes later, OddlerPro sleepwalked to his bed. Then, just past the 72-hour mark, the dazed and confused streamer emerged from his bedroom. Although angry at the outcome, Oddler forever etched himself in internet history. Ten years later, OddlerPro is hoping to avenge the failed attempt.&nbsp;</p>

72-hour redemption stream to begin September 1st or September 2st


<p>With a bitter taste of defeat in his mouth, OddlerPro announced he would try another 72-hour marathon. Furthermore, he clarified it would be his final such attempt, considering his age and how unhealthy it is to stay up for so long. When asked why he wanted redemption, OddlerPro responded, "I want to win." While he added more Twitch emotes would be nice, he ultimately wants to get the ResidentSleeper monkey off his back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The stream goes live at some point on September 1st or September 2nd. OddlerPro does not have a specific time since it depends on when he wakes up. However, you can tune in on either his <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/oddlerpro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Twitch</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/OddlerPro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">YouTube</a> channel. If Twitch decides to shut him down for violating terms of service, he'll be live streaming on both platforms. </p>

‘ResidentSleeper’ to attempt 72-hour marathon 10 years after becoming a meme


<p>After <a href="https://esports.gg/news/cs-go/faze-rio-major-overtime-rmr/">FaZe Clan made it through</a>, their year-long rivals were right behind. NaVi managed to qualify for the IEM Rio Major after a dominant victory over their regional rivals, Outsiders. With a superstar performance from s1mple, there was very little Outsiders could do to prevent NaVi from going 3-0. </p>



After FaZe Clan made it through, their year-long rivals were right behind. NaVi managed to qualify for the IEM Rio Major after a dominant victory over their regional rivals, Outsiders. With a superstar performance from s1mple, there was very little Outsiders could do to prevent NaVi from going 3-0. 



<p>On their own map pick, NaVi started the proceedings with a converted pistol round that powered them to a 7-3 lead. Once the hardest team to put away, the Outsiders showed some of that resilience as they slowly made their way back into the game. Throughout this, they kept their economy stable thanks to their trademark saves. Finally, FL1T's 1v1 clutch gave them a slight lead into the next half.</p>

<p>The two teams were inseparable in the second half as well. NaVi started with a strong retake to take the lead, but the Outsiders looked destined to take the game when they secured a 3v5 victory on the B site with just pistols. Unfortunately for them, NaVi rocked back into the game and denied them another T-side round. The Ukrainian side closed the map 16-13. </p>

S1mply unstoppable: NaVi qualify for IEM Rio


<p>When it came to the second map, NaVi completely flipped the script. Sometimes you beat NaVi, sometimes you lose to NaVi. And then there are the maps where you could do everything well, but you are facing peak S1mple. This was one of those nightmare maps for Outsiders. </p>
