While I do wish these streamers knew who he was, he did win the category. Well deserved!

yeah

@@unfunnyusername0_0 ngl I think him winning the award will do wonders to his channel I’ve been watching him since he was around 100k subs on KZfaq and I was so happy when I saw him win the award

@@marcuswong1643 yeah I'm in the same boat.

Yeah Riot has lots of money and influence and nobody gets views playing other strategy games, sad world for strategy gamers

@@hartschteiler3363 he's guild leader of top 3 guilds in wow

ah yes mr nighthold bear name

@@hartschteiler3363 He's the Guild Leader of Limit, one of the best raiding guilds in WoW and always featured in the last few Race to World First events. Outside of that he does various raiding centric content in WoW with one of his most popular series being "Undercover Raidleading" (Riff on the TV series Undercover Boss) where he goes undercover into a random PUG raid to see how the average player experiences raids from the perspective of a guy who literally raid leads one of the best guilds in WoW.

@@hartschteiler3363 As @Evan said, GM and RL of Liquid (ex. Limit), one of the most prominent (best or second best, depending who you ask, contending with Echo) guilds in WoW. Just a very swell guy with a really cool vibes, doing content from undercover raidleading, as said by Evan, m+, or discussing any impactful changes on the game with fellow content creators or highest level players in the game (such as class balance and changes, game meta, raids and dungeons discussion, etc.). If you like WoW content, I'd recommend checking him out because he's super chill and has imo highest quality WoW content by a mile.

Isnt dragonflight in decline already?

just refuses to fade into obscurity

Who cares. His 15 minutes r way up

I hope QT will pursue tresspassing charges against him if he does. Dude needs to realize he's not funny and needs to fuck off.

Scuffed Wantep lol

jermas my fav but its gotta go to kai

@@drlemonjelly7085 ????????????

@@drlemonjelly7085 lmao what, no, not even close at all. The baseball stream alone outdoes him

​@@chaoswraith Kai has a crazy amount of fans, even though Jerma is objectively the best streamer lol

@@drlemonjelly7085 nah I think it's between Jerma and X for sure.

Maybe if you're from NA 🤷🏻‍♂️

The problem is he's not at all as entertaining as the others- except for during moments where he's upset about the game. He's a husk.

@@jrs9223 I'm EU and he's right, wtf

@@sergiopepe2210 nah there are several streamers who get similar numbers to Tyler while being better at the game 😪 not even gonna mention Chinese league streamers because they get twice as many viewers as Tyler

@@jrs9223 it's not only about being good but it's also about being entertaining which he is.

I mean the only way you get better is by learning from others and a lot of people think he's the best at the game. So they go to him. Im pretty sure the game is keeping him relevant lol

​@@DrowsyYo there's only so many comps you can learn. All streamers play the same comps at a competitive level. Everyone watches soju because he's entertaining, not because he's good. He still a top tier player but there's not much to learn from him he's just fun

I love soda but let's be honest, he isn't the BEST variety streamer anymore

Well did you vote for them?

There isn’t a they it’s you bruh it’s viewer voted

blame yourself man. its viewer voted

​@@Lucifer54561 he's literally the biggest variety streamer, the competition watch tiktoks and react 70% of the time

maybe if his twitch chat wasnt an absolute cesspool lol. his youtube is 10/10 and his stream is a waste of time.

I feel like it would be more of a split between forsen and soda tbh

Wirtual aswell, fun guy

I have bad news

you'd be surprised how many new Twitch viewers don't know who he is. But that's mostly his fault for not trying to farm new viewers post-covid

their fans didnt work to nominate them?

my first thought too when i saw the nominees. i dont think lirik's community mention about this to him plus lirik tends to keep everything to himself and stays away from the streaming world. soda just doesnt care LUL

Because sodapoppin is completely astroturfed. Who actually watches soda? nobody

Its for the most part fan voting. If the streamer didn't advertise "hey, nominate me for this award" to the viewers, the viewers won't know about it, or at least wont think about voting for that streamer. Soda doesn't care, and I imagine the same is with Lirik, I don't watch him alot but from what I know he kinda just does his own thing and doesn't involve himself in anything else.

Soda hasn't been poppin lately.

Ngl I would pay to see that, even if it's on the hub lol

I wonder why Willneff is there as well. He watches drama shows and react to KZfaq content and averages 3 to 4 k viewers. That’s not creative.

@@surya639 I mean Hasan is up for Streamer of the Year. Like wtf does he do other than give garbage political takes and watch Jubilee videos

@@MetroidPurples Kinda true, but he deserves to be there just by sheer viewer count

@@MetroidPurples He informs people on politics. You don't have to agree with his takes, I rarely do. But he has been able to 'convert' hundreds of extremists to more grounded views, from both the left and the right.

Streamers in cars getting fast food, cooking challenges, travel streams. Its not revolutionary but they are definitely doing something different that isn't reacting.

sadly, most of us never heard of doug

Yea DougDoug fits this category by far the best but he won't win because he hasn't had any contact to the Ludwig community and the rest of twitch.

@@KontrolStyle I know you haven't, we have been waiting for you specifically. Now that you heard of him you are forced to join us. You will join us on his stream and conquer the entire world together (tbh conquering the world is basically a part of his content lately). I couldn't recommend a KZfaq channel more than Doug's. His streams are awesome but the editing and the jokes on his KZfaq channel are unmatched by anyone on KZfaq imo.

@@NoLuckJustSkill1337 Yeah, sadly that's the case. Even though he has million of subs on his channel, he is not as famous as Ludwig. I love Ludwig and NMP (haven't watched Will), but I don't think this award is suited for them. The award description describes Doug's content perfectly, but it has literally nothing to do with Ludwig and NMP.

@@nickpapado3211 Personally I think the award fits everyone except NMP. I love all of the creators content and think DougDoug fits the most. However I am biased towards Ludwig considering I've watched him since he had around 200 viewers. I think it's sad though that regardless tons of people will yell "rigged" etc and unironically believing it. QT got a ton of shit for Ludwig winning streamer of the year last year but it was totally out of her control, she even considered rigging it against Lud for that reason. If you don't inform your viewers about the show they won't be likely to interact with the voting part of it.

If they're 500-1000 they're hardly hidden. Just scroll down a little and you'll find them. Hidden gem should go to the least known for the value of their content, aka 100-ish viewers or less because you literally won't find them even if you know about them.

@@mmoogl3547 well they are so unknown, nobody knows who to vote for, making the category a waste. Besides a 500 viewer guy, is still extremely small compared to the bigger streamers in this event.

@@rackodakoo their viewers nominate the "hidden gem" streamers. Viewer submissions get reviewed.

But if they're unknown only their viewers will vote them, there's no objectivity there, because noone would know them all to make a good judgement.

@@sergiopepe2210 ppl can check them out before voting. i agree that 500-1k is hardly hidden

Emi created her own league tournament though

yeah that lilypichu nomination would probably fit better in like 2017 or whenever she had her league streams

The nomination is voted by EVERYBODY

DIdnt Jerma did that crazy dollhouse show? What did Kai do?

@Parker Peters Kai does all kinds of crazy shit, this month especially he's been doing a bhm marathon stream with Disney princess, Harry Potter lookalikes, famous rappers, Jurassic Park animatronics etc. Too much to list it all.

@@rightguy200000 I see. Never watched him besides some clips so no idea. I thought those are awards based on 2022 though. Well its Xqc vs Kai since they have the most viewers and votes I guess.

Not Jerma. Jermas a good streamer but he's not streamer of the year

You have to stream atleast half a year to be streamer of the year. OMEGALUL

It shocks me any adults watch him. One of the more ignorant people I've ever come across.

Their 5k viewbots didnt vote I guess.

It's viewer voted? I'm mostly part of the Oldschool RS community and people were pushing for votes. That's why B0aty is there for MMORPG. Sadly no itsWill :/ Should have voted for your streamer harder imo

THEN VOTE FOR THEM YOU DOOFUS

Then why didn't you nominate for other people?

No way a "first" guy watches soda...

Facts LMAO

they be hating

whats the point of x winning 50% will go somewhere else anyways

XQC does not deserve it over kai or Jerma. Guy gambles and reacts to fucking coomer tiktok clip 70% of the time. Thats not SOTY worthy.

Kai deserves it this year

Kai has done too much this year to not be SOTY.

You can leave whenever

Obama giving obama award meme. I'll still watch a vod, tho

??????

​@@Mini5hrek they're a snowflake don't mind them

Shit take is more like it.

That's clearly how you determine if a game is bad.

Imagine League of Legends being so shit, someone can literally run and do a flip on a trampoline, before coming back to win a match.

If this is your metric by how good a game is you must really be desperately grasping at straws here

I don't like Valorant, but that's a stupid take

The guy was defusing, he had a good amount of time before losing.
