Adin Ross' take on a livestreaming award show could fill a gap that QTCinderella seems to be overlooking. When QTCinderella’s 2024 Streamer Awards were announced,Emiru chose not to attend, expressing disagreement with the way she was nominated. Although Emiru was nominated for two major categories, including Streamer of the Year, she seemed frustrated to be left out of the Sapphire Award, which is dedicated to female contenders. Emiru referred to herself as the “token” woman for Streamer Awards nominations, ultimately deciding that the event wasn’t worth her time. Plenty of fans supported Emiru’s decision, suggesting that favoritism may be plaguing the Streamer Awards.
In a recent stream,Adin Ross announcedthat he intends to host his own Streamer Awards show in 2025. He notes that while watchingthe 2025 Grammy Awards show, he got motivated to produce his own event.

Adin Ross to Host Streamer Awards to Rival QTCinderella

Speaking aboutQTCinderella’s Streamer Awards, Ross said, “I don’t know why nobody’s ever competed (with) it,” suggesting that although QTCinderella has been consistent about hosting the event, her show may not necessarily represent the full scope of the livestreaming niche or what fans want out of these events. Ross affirms that his event will be done “the right way.” Despite his large fanbase, Ross was only nominated for one award at QTCinderella’s show.
