‘That’s just mathematics’: XQc crowns himself 4-time Streamer of the Year after Rivers outrage
XQc has this week claimed he would have won “four years in a row” if the Esports Awards’ top streaming gong, the Streamer of the Year award, was simply handed out to whoever had the biggest following for that calendar year.
The star Twitch streamer’s bold claim has come after Samy Rivers was named the year’s top streamer at the awards show in Riyadh at the 2024 Esports World Cup closing ceremony. While there are many who agree with the nod, others—like Asmongold, who suggested she “only won because she’s a woman”—were less impressive. XQc fell into the first camp, defending the now-controversial Rivers decision.
