Could Jynxzi Win Gamer of the Year at the Streamer Awards 2026?

Khizar Mundia Published 02/11/2026

Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart needs no introduction, as he is one of the most popular gaming streamers in the world. The Twitch star has been nominated for Gamer of the Year at The Streamer Awards 2026, and there seems to be growing belief that the content creator will win.

American streamer Jynxzi is notably known for his Rainbow Six Siege content, as he has hosted several large-scale tournaments for the game. He has since diversified his content, streaming marathons with other creators and also hosting tournaments for League of Legends and other games. The creator also completed a bro vs bro gaming challenge against Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr., who has been nominated for Streamer of the Year 2026 and is seemingly a favorite for that award.

Who is nominated for Gamer of the Year at The Streamer Awards 2026?

Five streamers have been nominated for Gamer of the Year 2026, including Jynxzi, TheBurntPeanut, Matthew “Feinberg” Feinberg, Matthew Joseph “SuperTF” DeLisi, and Timothy “iiTzTimmy” An. It’s worth noting that out of these five, Jynxzi and TheBurntPeanut were also nominated in 2025, but Case Dylan “CaseOh” Baker was the streamer who ultimately took home the honor. This year CaseOh hasn’t been nominated, and the five nominated streamers are all diverse in their content output.

Jynxzi and TheBurntPeanut are arguably the creators with the most watch time, both clocking in over 70 million hours. Despite this, there has been some controversy surrounding the latter; he faced backlash last year when he won Vtuber of the Year and he has been nominated again for the same category.

SuperTF has a professional Overwatch background and creates various gaming content on Twitch and YouTube. Feinberg and iiTzTimmy are known for their skill-based challenges, with the former being popular for Minecraft speedrunning and the latter famous for FPS titles.

Jynxzi is arguably the most mainstream out of all the nominated creators because he hosts the biggest tournaments and collaborates with more popular creators. These two may be the reason why Jynxzi is currently topping Polymarket prediction markets for Gamer of the Year 2026.

Polymarket strongly favors Jynxzi for Gamer of the Year 2026

The prediction market on Polymarket shows 52% implied probability for Jynxzi winning Gamer of the Year 2026 and 38% for TheBurntPeanut. The other three streamers are substantially behind, with iiTzTimmy and Feinberg at 2% and SuperTF at 1%. Traders currently see the fight as Jynxzi vs. TheBurntPeanut, with the others not considered serious contenders for the prestigious award.

A user commented on the prediction market, criticizing TheBurntPeanut and claiming that the vtuber shouldn’t have just a high implied probability of winning because of alleged viewbotting. This is an unverified claim, but regardless, it appears the prediction market is favoring Jynxzi significantly, and if the traders’ predictions prove to be correct, the American streamer may get to hold the Gamer of the Year 2026 award on November 12.
