xQc explains why Dr Disrespect was \u201clucky\u201d to win Streamer of the Year Popular variety streamer F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has made his opinion known about Dr. Disrespect winning Streamer of the Year at the 2019 Esports Awards, and what would have happened if he was nominated, too. The Esports Awards are an annual event that started in 2016, celebrating the very best in esports and gaming, praising the top personalities in the industry for all of the great work they do. One of the categories is the \u2018Streamer of the Year\u2019, bringing together the greatest streamers from across the globe. But, of course, there can only be one winner, with Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins winning in 2018 and Guy \u201cDr Disrespect\u201d Beahm scooping the prize in 2017. This year, the ballot was a close one with popular names such as the Doc, Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop and Ninja coming head-to-head and all having a reasonable claim to the trophy and the glory. After Dr Disrespect was announced as the winner, xQc was clearly excited \u2013 having first expected them to call out Ninja\u2019s name to make him number one for the second year running. Initially, he sounded confused when CouRage was announced at number two. Though, it\u2019s unclear whether that was because he thought he should be higher or lower. Then, when the Doc was announced as the winner, he said: \u201cHey, let\u2019s go! He\u2019s actually there,\u201d putting his hands in the air and grinning as the Doc\u2019s iconic appearance appeared on camera, headset, sunglasses and all. However, things took a turn later on as xQc tweeted Dr Disrespect to give him a piece of his mind \u2013 and throw his name in the hat. \u201cTo be honest, Dr Disrespect got lucky they forgot to put my name on the streamer of the year nominees. Regardless he deserved it, none of the other streamers we\u2019re even close to his thing. Well done.\u201d Tbh @drdisrespect got lucky they forgot to put my name on the streamer of the year nominees. Regardless he deserved it, none of the other streamers we’re even close to his thing. Well done\ud83d\ude0e \u2014 xQc (@xQc) November 17, 2019 While it looks to be in jest, xQc\u2019s performance on Twitch over the last year is certainly noteworthy, maintaining a strong core fanbase while flitting between different games, playing with different people and not sectioning himself to being a star in one particular title. Although he wasn\u2019t nominated for streamer of the year, he likely won\u2019t be too upset as he has not only shown immense progress as a streamer but can see that his audience is one that is stronger than even many of the nominees. Maybe next year he\u2019ll see himself alongside all of the other winners at the Esports Awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
