Nikki Elise, who goes by the name of Sajedene in the gaming world, was hooked up with other players while they took part in multiplayer session of Defense Of The Ancients 2.

Their gameplay was being streamed online and Nikki can be seen hooked up at the bottom of the screen.

But then out of nowhere two armed men wearing masks can be heard bursting into her home in Tempe, Arizona, and ordering her to lie down on the floor.

Nikki looks shocked as she leaves the eye of the camera and one of the men can briefly be seen carrying a gun.

Shocked gamers who were watching her stream live managed to contact one of her friends who called the police.

When they arrived, one suspect was still there and taken into custody but police are still on the hunt for the second man.

Nikki escaped unharmed from her ordeal and wrote about her experience on Facebook.

She said that the men wanted her to go to a bank and draw out money but the police arrived before the plan could go ahead.

She added: "All that matters is that we are okay."
