Jerma was thinking about not going due a splitting multi day migraine, I'm very glad he was able to recover and make it to this to witness this wonderful and heartfelt montage qt and her team made for him. Real tearjerker.

It's a shame that Jerma doesn't realize that he really is a contender for the best streamer ever.

Even though this is his 985th consecutive award, he is still humble and shows appreciation for his fans. He deserves every last one of them.

Insane that they had to hire an actor to accept the award for him.

Good for him He even didn't kill anyone this time

I love how everyone instantly knew it was him when she said “I wish he was real”

His motha must be so proud. He got the facecam treatment and everything. What a fantastic job he's done over the years.

That line "Seeing my name up here...- Sixteen year old me would've freaked the fuck out!" That hits hard. That hits really hard. Hes, what? 57? And he made it, it took him a while but through a way he did not expect he accomplished his dream and in a genuine way.

Lmao the girl shouting “don’t break it” was the unrecognized one guy of the night

dude i cried when they played the clips of his streams over the years. He truly deserves this award and im so proud of him.

I would like to retract any short jokes I've made about him. He is such a cool dude, and he deserves sooooo much. This award is just the tip of the iceberg.

They managed to make him look so realistic in this

Jerma really deserves this one. Congratulations, Jerma!

I feel like they invented that award with Jerma in mind because they knew he deserved a whole category of his own.

THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOOOOAAT!!!! MY STREAMER ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!

Fun fact: this year’s show almost ran over budget because they had to cast the award out of pure titanium this time to make sure that psycho wouldn’t break it immediately

He got a whole award and montage dedicated to just him he’s the real winner here

The emotions I felt seeing Jerma tear up on stage are indescribable. For how long he's been doing what he's been doing, seeing him brought to the verge of tears while fighting the overwhelming urge to cannibalize the audience is simply horrifying.

I loved that in the montage they went from really sweet moments to him strangling someone on stream. hes my favorite streamer and he definitely deserves this award

Quite literally teared up at his reaction and his completely genuine speech.

I just wish it wasn't a posthumous award. Rip Jerma, gone but not forgotten 😭😭😭

he may have not won streamer of the year but he’s the streamer of my heart 🤗

He went from a sub teacher all the way to the twitch sub mentor of the streaming sphere. What a journey he's been on.

He almost cried not because of emotions, but because the sound of applause and joy are unbearable to this PSYCHOTIC BEAST

"Tonight we celebrate the legacy of Jerma985" i thought he died or something

"I wish he was real" Chat immediately: THAT'S MY BOY JERMA!

I fucking love how it's wubby's stream chat just shouting for him then when they realize it's jerma they completely flip shouting for jerma

totally deserved the legacy reward RIP jerma you will be missed

i was CRYING and i am STILL CRYING AND I AM SO HAPPY BC JERMA EXISTS. he might even be alitrle sus

He deserves this award so much, he's created such a legacy that others can aspire to He didn't even kill someone this time so that's good too!

78 YEARS OLD AND HE STILL GOT IT 🔥🔥🔥

I say this with absolute certainty, jerma is THE streamer. He simultaneously embodies the spirit of the fact that anyone out there can do it if they pour their heart into it, but nobody in the whole entire world can do it like him!

he's not streamer of the year, he's the streamer of the LIFE 🗣🗣‼‼‼💯💯

he absolutely deserved this award more than anything. no other name more fitting than him.

Even if I just started watching him regularly last year, I couldn’t help feeling so proud of him. In such a short time I fell in love with his content and it helped me go through the toughest times of my life. He’s such a great dude and, just like he said, I’m gonna keep doing awesome shit. Congrats, Jerma. If only you were real…

I didn't even know streamer awards were a thing until now, and now here I am watching this with a big dumb smile on my face. Jerma deserves every bit of praise he's given.

Jerma really is the people's champion. I just hope that when he was referring to the audience, he also meant the people watching along at home. A lot of streamers I like watching weren't even nominated for anything, much less names I've never heard of, and they deserve praise too

im so proud of jerma for winning the "most able to dodge a battle axe" award

Jerma has not only changed my life. But honestly saved it a few times. I've been jobless and mentally broken for years due to being raped and tortured by people i thought where my friends.. and i just am not cut out for this world.. But I want to be.. I want to be an actor.. I want to direct action movies and change the world through inspiration. Currently I'm dealing with a lot. but everything else has been worse for me. I really just want to say thank you Jerma because you make me realize that its okay to be myself. And i will be honest.. i need help starting my life and getting to be what i want to be. I don't have friends.. and I hate social interaction. But that's why I want to inspire people.. people like myself who are hurt.. and help them reduce the hardness of their shell. Thanks if you read this.

He's a fantastic entertainer. I feel like he exploits the genre of live entertaintment to the max. Im so happy that he gets to do what he genuinely loves and makes a living out of it. I hope he still gets these silly cool ideas and keeps trusting his talent for more experimental stuff (dollhouse, christmas, etc)

this is just so fucking wholesome. like i love making jokes about jerma and shit but every once in a while you just gotta be happy for the dude, living his dream. And making us all laugh while at it. Congrats to my favorite serial killer.

I'm glad Jerma got a nice award before his eventual death by battle axe this year :) But seriously tho he deserve it.

THAT"S MY STREAMER LET'S GO!!!! Genuinely, he has helped me through so many tough times by just being a silly and genuine guy, not even mentioning the wonderfully creative things he gets up to. He is a gift to the platform and nobody else is doing what he is doing. He has worked so hard for years and I'm so glad to see him getting recognized for it. He deserves this more than anyone :)!!

i thought i’d just smile and be happy that jerma won this award but that clip show and his reaction got me shedding a few tears. nobody does it like jerma he’s one of a kind and we are some lucky bastards to see his growth and be apart of his streams what a guy

Thinking about it, I think this award means way more to the streaming community as a whole than "streamer of the year". This award reflects a decade + of passion, creativity, joy, and love that Jerma has given and shared with everyone, fans and creators alike. We love you Jerma, you deserved this 💜

Almost every image I’ve seen of Jerma at this event looked like he was a mafia boss at the end of a movie who’s mafia empire was destroyed In a montage with clips of him looking sad cut into it

Still can't believe there were no casualties, so proud of him

So glad he’s blown up so much these past few years. All jokes aside, he really seems like such a great guy. And on top of that, has really been a legitimate pioneer of the streaming world. Well deserved ❤️

I love him so much he deserved this award more than anyone else in the world. I can't imagine where I'd be without his streams he keeps me entertained all day long, just such an amazing person, seeing him cry made me start crying.

It’s crazy to imagine what this must be like, having essentially coworkers watching what he gets up to when messing around in his room. He’s really made me more comfortable in my skin and the idea of being exposed to people in terms of “weirdness” and being “too silly”. I hope he knows how appreciated he is ❤

Me and my fellow Jermans wrre happy to see Jerma win this, He deserves it

Watching jerma since his first video made me cry too

so fucking deserved

I’d make a joke but i’m just so happy for jerma right now, he’s such a genuinely great person who makes really amazing and creative content, he absolutely deserves this award.

Jerma staying humble

im proud of him for deciding not to say ‘i crammed a pipebomb inside this trophy last year but it didnt detonate’ congrats jerma for winning this award once again for the 985th time!

Its so nice that he got the jerma award for being the jermaiest jerma

Man gets an award and just wants to thank everyone without focusing on himself. Just wants to inspire. My man.

Jerma is legit objectibly the best thing in the streaming world right now, he has an amazing personality, extremely funny and actually talented with the best events on the platform.

I think what makes Jerma so deserving of this award is his humbleness. Never for a second is he even jokingly bragadocius. Never for a second does he take his position for granted. Never for a second does he forget the people that brought him to where he is now. Yes, he has innovated in the world of streaming, and his content is some of the most unique on Twitch, but deep down, he is a genuine and kind soul, and I think that's something that's pretty rare in the streaming industry.

Jerma is the only streamer I watch. He’s such a genuinely kind, funny human that he deserves all the awards. Truly an incredible human. Chaotic but compassionate.

Proud to say I've been watching since the Star and Jerma TF2 video days. An absolutely deserved award.

Jerma's definitely the type of guy to keep talking even after he says his speech is over. And the second half is him getting the last word in, over all the other voices in his head.

I never really understood the appeal of jerma, and why his fans loved him so much. I don't use twitch or twitter a lot, and I don't know a lot about Jerma, so that kinda explains why. But watching this made me in a strange way relate to him so much lol. If there is even a shred of chance that I someday pursue something similar, I hope I am even a little bit creative or respectable or just... likable like him and the community is even a little bit as nice as this one, cuz you guys are awesome. Edit: 1 month has passed, and I've watched a ton of Jerma now. And yeah, I get it now. He is funny.

Dude this was so beautiful, he deserves it for all the work he puts in and how much he gives back to his community and teams. Was smiling so hard during the clip show lmao

I remember finding jerma through ster close to a decade ago with his goofy TF2 pirate song, as soon as I heard it I knew this man was destined for greatness. Congratulations Jerma!!!

Jerma absolutely deserves the award and the recognition that comes with it, I couldn't be more proud of our streamer.

this made me so fucking happy i couldnt stop smiling bc jerma deserves this so much after all these years

I really expected them to just show clips of his newer, non-zero budget, big spectacle streams. Now, don't get me wrong, I love those streams, but seeing clips from 10+ years back with his tf2 and gta videos, Jerma rumble, various one off videos, and the one and only EGG gave it sincerity that took me off guard. A good and proper tribute to a man who has always poured his energy into entertaining for the sake of it, no pretense or ulterior motive. Crazy that his work has affected my life and so many others for this many years. Whether he goes for another 20 years or calls it quits tomorrow, I wish him the best. Thanks for the years of goofs streamer man

been here since 2012 when he was just joking around in his backyard with his dog. what a legend.

I will never stop loving Jerma. He is one of the few streamers who can truly capture my attention and entertain, and even in that select few he is leagues above everyone else. He is so genuinely funny, creative, and simply wholesome. I believe he is the greatest streamer of all time and I will not stop following his endeavors until either he retires or I am dead.

So happy for him! Most of those people were probably still in school when he started. Jerma has been keeping us entertained for over a decade now and it’s only fair that he gets some industry-wide recognition. He’s been here for the long run and I hope he keeps up the good work. Jerma deserves this award more than anyone.

He deserved an award so much, Ive never seen a streamer like him, and I don't think there'll ever be another

I actually cried during this. It was so wholesome and sweet. This was 100% deserved

This was the highlight of the stream, Jerma is an inspiration and no one was more deserving of such a glorious fanfare.

Fuck, I remember watching the magic stream. Jerma has been part of more then half of my life. He deserves all the world and I hope I get to watch him for a while longer.

Jerma is one of if not *the most* innovative and boundry-pushing entertainer on Twitch and he deserves an award for it. He pioneered an entire style of streaming and influenced a generation of streamers. History will remember his legacy kindly.

It’s been a cold, dark, depressing, scary, and lonely couple of years for myself and pretty much the entire world. I found Jerma at the very end of 2021 with his try not to laugh challenge and his positivity, creativity, and goofiness helped me through a lot. In a world where selfishness and cruelty seems to be rewarded more than anything, it’s so nice to see a kind humble guy get recognized for all the joy he brings to us. Jerma deserved this award so damn much

I almost cried myself watching this I only recently got into Jerma but he’s become my favorite so so fast I’m glad he won something as grand as that

Jerma cried to prove that he has emotions and real

100% deserved it. Now, i only started watching jerma in 2020, but one thing is his content and the stuff he does can never get old. Every stream he does is just enjoyable and fun to watch, congrats jerma!

watching jerma have to watch an edit of him in a massive crowd was such a fuuny moment. foreal just one of the best dudes on the internet.

These clips portray Jerma as such a nice guy. No one will believe this guy puts people in meat grinders.

🕊rest in peace.🕊😭

i never thought i would tear up over something like this crazy how this dude that i dont even know or have never even talked to brightens up my day so much every single time

In my opinion, Jerma is the most influential streamer of all time. Such an incredible legacy, love you Jerma.

I also really appreciate the announcement by Rae and QT. Saying how everyone could stand to be more like him is such a nice thing to say about someone.

THAT'S MY STREAMER i got WAY into jerma the last 2 years and it's been a wild journey, learning about him and seeing so many funny clips. he definitely deserved this

CONGRATS TO JERMA!!! he really deserved it!

I used to watch him all the time and have recently started to dive back into his content after ER, the guy hasn’t changed in humility and I can’t think of a more deserving streamer

i love seeing him this happy. we're so proud of you, jerma. please put the bat down.

Do these people not realize what kind of danger they were in having Jerma in their midst... They got lucky. That aside, well deserved.

Literally crying he deserves all the recognition for how brilliant he actually is .

I like how the music started playing as a sign that he was done talking & ready to go off but that DERANGED PSYCHO resumed talking so they had to stop the music abruptly XD

jerma is the guy ever, i love jerma. he deserves this, and every other award he has gotten, he's worked so hard to make people happy. thanks jerma :)

Jerma deserved every second of that montage, award and the recognition that came with it all. Seeing him tear up really showed how much it meant to him as well and it hit me in the feels. The comments during the stream and on this video make me so damn happy as well. I love Jerma and this community so fuckin much ♥

he stands there looking fancy and cool but you know he's envisioning pushing every single person there into a meatgrinder

Somebody really said Award Andy

This hits different after jerma shifting into his soft retirement arc. You can see the look on his face, he’s watching a replay of his proudest moments. It really is incredible the amount of work he’s put in over the years to entertain us. You can tell he’s really serious about it, truly passionate. It’s beautiful. It’s inspiring. The best streamer who ever lived.

He deserves the world ❤️
