In the gaming segment, Caedrel was honored as the Best MOBA Streamer for his content on League of Legends, and Peak received the award for Stream Game of the Year.
AngryGinge, the winner of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, was a nominee for Best Sports Streamer at the event, but the award was claimed by flight23white.
The anticipated duo of Ginge and Aitch from Manchester, following their success in the jungle, may soon land their own reality show, with odds also favoring them to present Soccer Aid and potentially host Sky Sports’ Baller League in the future.
Celebrity PR specialist Kayley Cornelius speculated on the potential joint ventures for AngryGinge and Aitch, suggesting that their chemistry on screen during their jungle experience could lead to lucrative opportunities in the television industry.
