    "articleBody": "IShowSpeed was named Streamer of the Year at the 2026 Streamer Awards in Los Angeles on November 12, taking the top prize for the second time in three years. He beat CaseOh, Joe Bartolozzi, Jynxzi and Stable Ronaldo, and he left the Avalon with three trophies in total. Speed also won Best IRL Streamer and Best Streamed Series, the second for his World Cup Tour. That put him in a four-way tie for most wins of the night with Kai Cenat, Katie B and Vanillamace, who each also took three. The trophy itself, as always, was a gold Peepo, a variant of the Pepe the Frog meme. Who won the big categories Streamer of the Year: IShowSpeed Gamer of the Year: Jynxzi Legacy Award: Quackity, chosen by the show’s panel League of Their Own: Kai Cenat Best Streamed Event: Streamer University, Kai Cenat Best Mainstream Collab: Kai Cenat and Tyla The Sapphire Award: Vanillamace Best Breakout Streamer: Katie B Best VTuber: Ironmouse Stream Game of the Year: Meccha Chameleon Streamer’s Choice: supertf, voted by the audience in the room Katie B’s three came from Best Breakout Streamer, Best Minecraft Streamer and Best Stream Duo, the last shared with Vanillamace. Vanillamace completed her set with the Sapphire Award, which honors streamers who identify as female or a marginalized gender, and the new Best Dressed Award. Kai Cenat’s Streamer University win came for his own event, and his collab prize was shared with the singer Tyla. What was new this year Founder QTCinderella hosted again, this time with Caroline Kwan. The show moved forward by five days: it was first set for November 17, but organizers shifted it to avoid clashing with the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, the game Kai Cenat has been warming up for with a five-game GTA marathon on Twitch. For the first time, streamers on Kick could be nominated, and nominees had to apply in advance to accept a nomination. The show added Best Cozy Game Streamer, the Spark Award, the Best Dressed Award and a sponsored prize for the night’s “Biggest Crashout,” which went to Lacy. Best Fortnite Streamer, last given in 2024, returned and was won by Clix. Presenters were announced ahead of the show for the first time. The numbers behind the night Fans pick the nominees, and winners are decided by a weighted mix: 70 percent public vote, 30 percent a panel of judges. This year’s ballot ran from October 16 to October 31 across 42 categories, 12 of which had not appeared in earlier years, according to the awards’ Wikipedia history. The live broadcast on Twitch and YouTube peaked at 970,656 viewers. That is about 5.6 percent below 2025’s record of 1,028,321, but still the second-highest peak in the show’s five-year run and well above the 381,436 who watched the first ceremony in March 2022. Put another way, the audience has grown about two and a half times since the show began. The awards’ all-time table, as listed on Wikipedia, still has Kai Cenat first with 13 wins from 18 nominations and IShowSpeed second with eight from 10, ahead of Jynxzi on six.
