QTCinderella explains why Streamer Awards matter: \u201cIt\u2019s so much more than a stupid frog trophy\u201d Instagram: QTcinderella, frenzystudio_Twitch star QTCinderella opened up about her passion for The Streamer Awards in an exclusive interview with Dexerto, explaining why the ceremony matters for squashing beef and recognizing hard-working content creators. The Streamer Awards are nearly upon us. Scheduled for Saturday, March 11, this grassroots ceremony celebrates live streamers and content creators from multiple social media platforms as voted by their peers and the community. The entire show is orchestrated by Twitch streamer QTCinderella, who has become well-known for creating other live events like Shitcamp, which are specifically curated for broadcasters. It\u2019s safe to say that The Streamer Awards is the biggest of these events \u2014 and is also one of the most important activities for the streaming community at large, helping to quash feuds between creators and shine a well-deserved light on overlooked influencers. QTCinderella says Streamer Awards helps connect creators As the Awards loom on the horizon, we got the chance to speak with QTCinderella about her show, which she says has some major benefits for broadcasters big and small. \u201cIt\u2019s way more than just an award show,\u201d QT explained. \u201cIt\u2019s the collaborations that it sparks, it\u2019s the relationships that it sparks. It\u2019s squashing the beef. I think in North America, we have a really hard time with not interacting. At a normal 9-5 job, you can hate Susan from accounting, but chances are you\u2019re still gonna gossip about your weekend [together]. You\u2019re still gonna be talking over the water cooler.\u201d \u201cUnfortunately, in this industry, everyone\u2019s so isolated that it leads to a lot of toxicity. Yes, you can misinterpret someone\u2019s sentence or somebody\u2019s joke because you don\u2019t know them as a person. But it\u2019s events like this that actually allow people to have conversations in-person and get rid of that illusion of what you might think of somebody.\u201d QTCinderella reveals what Asmongold said to her after winning MMORPG streamer award On top of bringing streamers together, QT says the Awards also shine a much-deserved light on hard-working content creators. In fact, she claimed that Asmongold \u2014 a major Twitch star with over 3 million followers \u2014 had never received an award prior to last year\u2019s Streamer Awards. His heartfelt response to being recognized sticks with QT to this day, and is one of the key reasons she started up The Streamer Awards in the first place. \u201cI quote this a lot, but last year, Asmongold won Best MMORPG streamer, and one of the things he said to me was, \u2018I\u2019ve never won an award.\u2019 And he\u2019s been streaming for years!\u201d QT exclaimed. \u201cYou know, streaming \u2014 you think about your entire life, especially as a gamer. You\u2019re someone who is isolated, overlooked. It\u2019s time to clap these people on the back.\u201d \u201cA lot of people think, \u2018Oh, these are big streamers and their audience celebrates them.\u2019 No. Having your peers recognize you is so important. It\u2019s an important thing in life to be recognized. \u2026it\u2019s so much more than a stupid frog trophy. It\u2019s so much more than that.\u201d Fulfilling a childhood dream Despite the Awards\u2019 overwhelming success, QT still can\u2019t believe the positive reception to her streamer-focused ceremony and other live events. She\u2019s been open about her struggles making friends as a child, having been bullied for coming from a religious family that struggled with money \u2014 but says these events help show her just how far she\u2019s come since then. \u201cI grew up pretty bullied,\u201d she revealed. \u201cI didn\u2019t have a large group of friends. I would throw birthday parties and no one would show up. I lived 45 minutes away from my school. I lived in a poorer part of town but I drove to school everyday, because it was a nicer school and my mom wanted me to have a nicer education, but when I\u2019d have a birthday party, no one wanted to go to the poor girl\u2019s house. \u201cDoing these events now and people actually showing up feels really surreal, still. I haven\u2019t convinced that 15-year-old inside of me that maybe people like you.\u201d Fans can tune into the Streamer Awards on Saturday, March 11 on QT\u2019s official Twitch channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
