Clips and screenshots from the broadcast have flooded social media, with fans praising Çelik for collaborating with the Batman actor on his stream.
X user @ValorINTEL shared a screenshot from Tarik's Twitch stream where Ben Affleck can be seen holding the VCT Masters trophy won by Sentinels' Valorant team in 2024 while sitting beside the streamer and Rob Moore, the CEO of Sentinels. The caption praises the streamer for the collaboration, describing it as "Insane Aura".

"Ben Affleck, Tarik, and Rob Moore..am i high?" wondered a fan.
"Bro what world are we living in Ben Affleck on is on tarik's stream," said another.
The official Sentinels account on X also shared a photo from the stream where the actor is seen holding the Masters trophy and took a dig at rival esports organization G2, saying:
"Ben Affleck held a Masters trophy before G2."
Many fans commented on how the Twitch streamer was acting during the stream, with some claiming he was nervous.

"Met the goat": Tarik posts photo with Ben Affleck after VCT watch party stream with Hollywood star on Twitch
Livestreamers on popular platforms such as Twitch have been collaborating with celebrities for a while now. Creators such as Kai Cenat and xQc have had popular artists and actors such as Will Smith, Nicki Minaj, and many others on their broadcasts in the past.
While most of these types of collaborations are mainly aimed at promoting the guest's work, readers should note that Ben Affleck is a known fan of Valorant, even though he appeared on stream to promote his upcoming film, The Accountant 2. In 2023, Affleck attended the VCT Champions fan fest with his children and complained about Jett being nerfed in the game.
Tarik himself was naturally elated to have linked up with the famous actor for his Twitch watch party, and sometime after the broadcast ended, he posted a photo with Ben Affleck on his Instagram story and called him "the goat" (Greatest of All Time).
