Valorant fans against the Streamer Awards winner

While the streamers were happy with the winners and overall event, fans took to social media to question the results. Specifically in the Best Valorant Streamer category, where Kyedae took the prize.

“The moment I won, I felt more dread than anything because I knew the hate I’d get,” wrote Keydae on Twitter.

The Valorant community aggressively expressed their discontent with the result. According to the fans, Tarik deserved the award over Kyedae.

In light of the reaction, QTCinderella released the final results. According to the host, the results are “70% based off popular vote,” and Tarik only reached third place based on votes. QTCinderella admitted to considering removing the Valorant category for any upcoming event.
