Jynxzi Could Win Gamer of the Year Again at the 2026 Streamer Awards

November 3, 2026·2 min read

Jynxzi seeks a second Gamer of the Year award at the November 12 Streamer Awards ceremony.

Jynxzi is nominated for Gamer of the Year at the 2026 Streamer Awards, giving the Rainbow Six Siege streamer another chance to win a category he previously claimed in 2023. The winner will be announced during the November 12 ceremony in Los Angeles.


Nicholas "Jynxzi" Stewart has received four nominations this year, tying with IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat for the most at the event. His competition for Gamer of the Year includes Feinberg, iiTzTimmy, supertf, and TheBurntPeanut.

Jynxzi won Gamer of the Year and Best Breakthrough Streamer at the 2023 Streamer Awards ceremony, held in February 2024. His rise on Twitch was closely tied to Rainbow Six Siege, where his competitive matches, challenges, and reactions helped attract a large audience.


He has since expanded his content beyond Ubisoft's tactical shooter, taking on different games and working with other major creators. His nominations this year include Streamer of the Year, Best Streamer Collab, and Best Marathon Stream.


The collaborative nominations recognize his work with Stable Ronaldo and LosPollosTV, including their Chained Together marathon.

The Gamer of the Year nominees come from different corners of gaming. Feinberg is known for Minecraft speedrunning and challenges, while iiTzTimmy has built his audience through competitive FPS gameplay.


Former professional Overwatch player supertf is also nominated, alongside TheBurntPeanut, whose animated peanut avatar and gaming streams have become a recognizable part of his content.


TheBurntPeanut has additional nominations for Best FPS Streamer and Best VTuber. Jynxzi's previous win gives him experience in the category, but the competition includes creators with established audiences across several games.

Fan voting has closed ahead of the November 12 ceremony

Voting for the 2026 Streamer Awards ended on October 31. Under this year's rules, community votes account for 70% of the final result, while an industry panel determines the remaining 30%.


The sixth annual Streamer Awards will take place on November 12, with QTCinderella hosting the ceremony. Jynxzi is also competing for Streamer of the Year against IShowSpeed, CaseOh, Joe Bartolozzi, and Stable Ronaldo.
