Armed Robbers Break Into Internet Celeb Sajedene's Home During Webstream

An Arizona woman has her livestream gaming to thank for authorities' rapid response to her home after armed invaders knocked down her door Monday.

People watching Nikki Elise AKA 'Sajeden' playing the game Dota 2 were nearly as surprised as the 28-year-old Tempe gamer was after hearing a crash and then watching a man with a hand gun appear to rummage through the well-known player's gaming equipment.

Sajeden is popular in Dota 2 fan circles and has a worldwide viewership on the streaming site Twitch. A friend who knew where she and her 29-year-old roommate lived happened to be watching and alerted police.

'At that point, gamers from around the world were watching the home invasion occur while trying to contact the corresponding law enforcement agency,' Lt. Michael Pooley told KTVK.

Thanks to calls from the concerned viewers, authorities arrived so fast that they made contact with at least one of the suspects.

Pooley said one man was still in the apartment when officers arrived.

The man fled on foot but one was taken into custody after a short chase, Pooley told KTVK.

Pooley says the other man remains at large.

Wow, that is crazy lucky that someone who knew where she lived was watching!

That's so scary.

Lol. I'll forever love this gif.

sooo scary i was reading up on this a bit today
a big thread on the dota2 subreddit has loads of info for anyone curious

omw that was scary. do most robbers bring guns or what, they could easily find her and shoot her after they saw the computer screen with the game still playing

Pooley said the woman and a man also in the apartment were not injured and had been locked in a back bedroom during the robbery where they were going to be held until a nearby bank opened. The suspects were going to take the victims to the bank and have them withdraw money.

So scary.

also i hear about dota all the time but I have no idea what it is, and from what I've seen of screenshots, I have no idea why people are into it....

Basically it's a massively multiplayer online game. It's very much being turned into the big competitive game for pro tournaments.

Correction it is a massive online battle arena (MOBA not MMO)

I know about MMOs (played a couple for a few years).

I guess I just don't understand the hype or understand why its become so big

It's actually pretty exciting if you know what you're doing.

I don't, so I die pretty often = no fun.

This is a great beginners guide, and it's HILARIOUS:

It's a free game too which is awesome. If you have any questions about it I've been playing for yearsss.

mte I constantly get the little "______ is now playing DotA 2" notifs from Steam.

only the best MOBA game of all time

MOBAs are the big thing in games and esports right now. The original DOTA was a map created in Warcraft III (I think) where heroes killed the shit out of each other while little creatures spawned at their base and continually ran toward the others base.

So, the idea is to eventually kill their base, but it's accomplished by using your hero to level up and kill all their shit along the way.

DOTA II is Valve's version. The most popular one is called League of Legends. Blizzard is making one called Heroes of the Storm.

It has a HUGE following in the esports community, though.

I'm awful at MOBAs. They give me too much anxiety.

It also has one of the worst communities on the internet.

Home invasion is like my #1 fear, how fucking scary. Robbers bad timing is their good luck.

This is the second time I've heard of someone having their home invaded during a livestream.

So bizarre that at the same time of the robbery the computer says [unintelligible] is under attack :O

'you tower is under attack'

I never listen to anything with earphones when I am home alone.always fearful about this.

worst part was that she wasn't alone. I feel the same way though.

God, that is like one of my worst fears. I could never live alone in like a house. Obviously people still break into apartments, but I feel a little safer knowing someone is within screaming distance.

her boyfriend was in the same room, in the longer version of the video you can see him go behind her to the other room to check out what the noise is about and then she hears them all shout at eachother

and they were living in an apartment but none of their neighbors called the police about the noise or anything
