Twitch: Pokimane picks xQc as best streamer of the year: "He's on another level"
Often the streaming world is a competitive field, but sometimes rivals pat each other on the back and congratulate each other on success. This behavior was demonstrated most recently by Pokimane, who is clearly in favor of xQc in the vote for Streamer of the Year.

When Twitch star Pokimane isn't entertaining her viewers or giving away a Tesla, she's going all out for her fellow streamers. For the unofficial streamer awards of Twitch stars MayaHiga and QTCinderella taking place on March 13, Pokimane is therefore not promoting herself, but her colleague and rival xQc.
The fact that the Canadian-French streamer, whose real name is Felix Lengyel, is in the running should come as no surprise to anyone: With his gigantic amount of followers and viewers and especially with his constant streaming behavior, where he hardly spends any days away from streaming, he is one of the most successful personalities on Twitch.
No other streamer comes close to xQc, Pokimane finds.
Of course, this hasn't passed Twitch star Pokimane by: "I think there's just no one who can match xQc right now. xQc is on another level above almost all streamers in terms of hours, variety and community. You can even tell that from its viewers. It's insane."
Despite xQc's considerable achievements, the choice for Pokimane was not as easy as thought. Streamer Mizkif was also an option for the 25-year-old: "I have to vote for xQc. It's hard because I feel like it was Mizkif's year. If I could, I would give my vote to both."
What's behind the Streamer Awards?
As mentioned earlier, the Streamer Awards are not an official Twitch event, but are hosted by streamers MayaHiga and QTCinderella. The actual show will take place on March 13, where prizes will be awarded in a total of 27 categories, including best Battle Royale or VTuber streamer, for example.
Until March 6, everyone can vote for their favorite entertainers on the awards' official website. Apart from xQc and Mizkif, Sykkuno and Ludwig are also nominated for the streamer of the year. Pokimane qualified for the Legacy Award after all, while Amouranth is unsurprisingly found in the "Best ASMR Streamer" category.
