The Upcoming Streamers are looking absolutely insane this year!

What a crazy year – not just for us at EarlyGame, but also for some streamers who have been killing it in the past few months, more than I did in the prehistoric year of 2006 with Wii Sports Bowling. We had a tough time narrowing down the selection, but challenging decisions have to be made.

So, the creators who made it to the shortlist are the ones who not only showed insane growth but also those whose presence has become indispensable, and we can envision them sticking around in the scene for a long time.

Before we celebrate our candidates, just a quick reminder: the awards are not just for our and your entertainment but primarily for a good cause. A good deed every day, so don't hesitate to donate to Laureus Sport for Good Germany – and don't worry, every donated euro goes where it's intended.

Just like last year, our friends at Euronics are on board again, making the awards possible along with our main partner Memory PC – a big thanks to them, and if you're looking for a gaming PC or any electronics, you'll surely find it with our fantastic partners.

We don't want to forget our friends from DFS (Deutsche Flugsicherung) either, who have joined us as partners this year. They are helping us make this year's awards bigger (and more enjoyable) than ever before!

Thanks to our partners at Memory PC, Euronics and DFS this wouldn't be possible!

And for those who prefer winning over buying: in the donation campaign, you can not only do good and redeem yourself for your misdeeds (I know exactly what you've done, you scamps), but you can also snag some absolutely awesome prizes.

For every donated 5 euros, you get a ticket for the raffle. So, with 10 euros you're in the pot twice, 50 bucks get you in ten times, and if you want to transfer some money directly to increase your chances, feel free to let me know (just kidding – everything here is fair, but I always appreciate money).

There's a bunch of cool stuff to win, but the main prize is worth mentioning! This year, thanks to our main partner Memory PC, we have three awesome gaming PCs up for grabs!

The main prize sponsored by Memory PC really packs a punch!

Even if you don't snag one of these beauties, participating is worth it for other fantastic prizes, including plenty of headsets, mice, keyboards, and more!

While we won't publicly announce the winner (that would be a privacy nightmare), if you're lucky, you might find a package containing a gaming PC worth nearly $3,000 at your doorstep! We will raffle the prizes in the weeks following the awards and will get in touch with the winners by March 8, 2024.

But now, let's get to the most important topic: the nominees and your votes! It's entirely up to you who takes home the Oscar of the streaming industry – the stylish EarlyGame Award for the Upcoming Streamer of the Year with a pimped-out streaming background.The community decides, so make sure to hit those keys and vote.

By the way, for those who just want to vote and for whatever reason want to skip the donation, you don't have to go empty-handed.

For those who votes, we also have a little extra surprise! DeskYou is providing some mousepads that we will raffle off among all the people who have voted! Who can resist a cool custom mousepad, right?

Upcoming Streamer Of The Year 2024 – Criteria

We selected the nominees somewhat arbitrarily – as always, a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into the selection. And a little bit of thought as well.

These considerations are as follows and represent the criteria for selecting the candidates:

  • Less than 200k followers before 2023 on Twitch
  • Growth as f*ck of the Twitch channel
  • Organic growth as f*ck, just to be clear (no viewbotting or anything)
  • Great potential of the channel (growth as f*ck continues)

The EarlyGame Awards 2024: Live on YouTube on February 25, 2024!

If you want to watch the awards show to find out if your votes were enough to get your favorite streamer, esports player, etc., to the top and secure them that juicy trophy, you can tune in live on our YouTube channel on February 25, 2024, at 8:00 PM.

It's also a welcome react-content opportunity for the streamers, and we definitely won't copyright strikes your content (I promise)!

If you happen to miss the event, you can, of course, watch it later on our YouTube channel, but come on, you watch Twitch, so be there live! So until then, it's all about voting, voting, voting!

But enough of the preamble: here are the nominees, and you decide who takes it home!

Dilara practically completed the Twitch game this year, and don't even get us started on TikTok.

On stream, she likes to play with Stegi or get creative in other ways. Signature move: the green streaks – German Shego! She started with Twitch in the summer of 2023 and has quickly established herself in the scene – currently with almost 250,000 followers.

Merleperle has been streaming for quite a while, but 2023 was her year. With over 75k followers on Twitch now and a November that was truly impressive (almost doubling the follower count!), she's a solid pick for Upcoming Streamer of the Year.

Reeze

Reeze not only rocks it in 7 vs. Wild with Papaplatte, but also on Twitch. In 2023, he gained a whopping 66k followers, and his over 1000 streamed hours are nothing to scoff at.

For us, one thing is certain: good old Reezemann will be with us for a long time!

Good old Marcel gained a lot of Twitch growth last year: from 27 average viewers in January to almost 2000 in November – congrats!

He just cracked the 100,000 followers mark on Twitch and what better way to celebrate than receiving an EarlyGame Award?

Good old Mert occasionally streamed, but in 2023, he really put in the effort, and you can tell.

In 2023, the boy gained over 50k followers on Twitch and can boast 1.7 million hours watched!

Noah has been streaming for a few years, but 2023 was simply his year. He now gained a good 70k followers.

Noah streamed for 3000 hours and collected 1.2 million hours watched, and he gets another chance this year – because soccer always works!

Snipsska

Although she was already nominated last year, Snipsska is back in the game because she doesn't stop growing.

Last year we included her as somewhat of an underdog with a little over 20K Followers, but Snippska has seriously upgraded her streaming game and now boasts 80,000 followers!

BreitenBerg

Daniel also grew significantly with Fortnite and reaction content.

In 2023, he snagged almost 50k additional followers, participated in the Eligella Cup, and gathered almost 500k hours watched on Twitch. A truly deserved nomination!

SkylineTVLive

SkylineTVLive, also known as Adam Wolke, is another IRL streamer who's currently killing it. He was already Upcoming Streamer of the Year last year, but we've changed the criteria a bit, and now we can nominate him for the second year in a row!

In 2023 alone, SkylineTV gained a whopping 80K followers, and even though he streams irregularly, more than 5000 people watch him on average!

This year, he had a staggering 2.8 million hours watched with 636 hours streamed. Solid work! And definitely a well-deserved nomination.

SkylineTV shines with his "reporter-style-interview-heavy livestreams," armed with a microphone and cameraman, he visits big streamers and cool events.

Honorary Streamer: Elton_on_Twitch!

We couldn't help but give the living legend Elton a chance at the Upcoming Streamer of the Year Award!

You probably know him from television, and those of you in my age group probably remember him from the old days with Stefan Raab, but you could also see him on LOL this year.

On Twitch, he made it to a 'stunning' 34 streams, practically not trailing behind the other nominees at all... definitely not.

Voting is free, and if you want your favorite creator to take home the highly coveted trophy, just leave your vote quickly. Additionally, if you can spare it, consider making a small donation to Laureus Sport for Good. By doing so, you'll have a chance to win fantastic prizes, such as one of three amazing gaming PCs from Memory PC, with a total value of over €5000!

As a master graduate of sociology who wrote his thesis about Twitch, Robert knows a fair share about streaming. Adding to that, he loves binge-watching TV shows, so he got entertainment covered....
