IShowSpeed Named Streamer of The Year At 2025 Esports Awards

This win marks the first time IShowSpeed has won the prestigious award. He was nominated last year, but the award went to Mexican Twitch streamer Samanta "Rivers" Rivera Trevino.

The other popular streamer, not named Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, took the biggest award of the night at the 2025 Esports Awards in Las Vegas.

IShowSpeed’s antics on Twitch that have seen him travel around the globe, meet tons of celebrities and athletes, and pull off some impressive athletic feats, which have earned him Streamer of the Year at the Esports Awards 2025, held on November 19 in Las Vegas.

In a prerecorded message, IShowSpeed expressed his gratitude for winning the award. “I want to give a huge thanks to everybody who voted for me, a huge thanks to my fans and anybody who supported me, I love y’all,” he said.

This win marks the first time IShowSpeed has won the prestigious award. He was nominated last year, but the award went to Mexican Twitch streamer Samanta “Rivers” Rivera Trevino.

Winning the award gives IShowSpeed the recognition many feel he deserves, which ultimately goes to Kai Cenat since he seems to be more visible and is constantly chopping it up with celebrities.

Congrats to IShowSpeed on the win.
