Twitch disguises requests to their tracking system under a hostname that resembles the one they use when serving video to the users. They employ a scheduled job to rotate the prefix periodically (the video-edge-41c9a6.pdx01 part), but it always resolves to the CNAME spade.sci.twitch.tv. This was once directly served over spade.twitch.tv, but after it was added to common ad filter lists, Twitch resorted to this way of enabling user tracking.
