No es probable que vaya a pasar. Creo que este comentario tiene que ver con Konosuba pero admito que no conozco bien la serie y no sé el contexto. Sin embargo, cuando dices que “that’s a stretch / it’s a stretch” significa que tendrías que esforzarte mucho para realizar algo o para que sea realidad.
Por ejemplo existe en inglés la frase “by any stretch of the imagination” que significa que algo no es posible en absoluto. Por ejemplo “it’s impossible by any stretch of the imagination.

@City_Lights But I don't understand how would that meaning suit when the person said "half the lobby is a stretch", could you explain me a bit more? Sorry.
And yeah you may've thought it's from Konosuba but this Aqua is a VTuber lol, the conversation is about an Apex Legends VTuber tournament. Or in simpler words a streamers tournament in an online game

Stretch means they think the first person is exaggerating when they say half the lobby is better than Aqua. But, they are implying that there could be some in the lobby that are better than Aqua.
It comes from “to stretch the truth” which means to exaggerate.

@HanyuuFurude To back @JordanKinsley it means that it could be hard to get or difficult to achieve. Imagine having to stretch to reach something.
It might be possible, but probably not.
