5 streamers most likely to win the Streamer of the Year award at The Esports Awards 2022
The Esports Awards announced their crop of nominees for the entertainment category on June 30 for this year's show, including the Streamer of the Year award. While all twelve nominees are certainly worthy of recognition, only one can take home the award when The Esports Awards 2022 goes live on December 13.
This list looks at the streamers that have the best shot at being 2022's Streamer of the Year.
Zack "Asmongold" is a co-founder of the content creation group OTK and is known primarily for his World of Warcraft content. In addition to WoW, he's notably played Diablo Immortal, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy XIV, and Lost Ark on his stream this year.
However, he made a bigger splash with his reaction content, especially during the coverage of the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial. Asmongold frequently topped Twitch's live viewer count during the trial, even beating xQc towards the end of May for the title of the most-watched streamer on the platform.
Earlier this year, Asmongold won the Best MMORPG Streamer at the Streamer Awards 2022. And this is his first nomination for Streamer of the Year at The Esports Awards.
Guy "Dr Disrespect" has continued to be a force to be reckoned with in the streaming world in 2022. Despite being permanently banned from Twitch in 2020 and recently having his ban upheld in court after his lawsuit against the platform, he continues to stream on YouTube Gaming to tens of thousands of viewers.
Outside of streaming, Doc is also delving into game development through Midnight Society, a game studio he announced at the tail end of 2021. The studio is primarily focused on shooter games and has industry veterans from the Call of Duty and Halo franchises on board.
