The Kick streamer claimed the awards consistently favor a some Twitch creators while overlooking personalities from other platforms.

Adin Ross Claims The Streamer Awards Will Never Be Fair, Calls Out Twitch Bias

Adin Ross did not hold back while discussing The Streamer Awards 2026. The controversial streamer believes the ceremony has a major fairness problem, particularly when it comes to recognizing creators from Kick.

According to Ross, the awards continue to revolve around a familiar group of Twitch personalities, leaving several popular streamers from competing platforms out of the spotlight. He specifically highlighted N3on and Cuffem, questioning why neither creator received nominations despite their popularity and contributions to the streaming scene.

Kick streamers becoming eligible for the 2026 awards was supposed to make the event more inclusive.

Ross also questioned the overall lineup of the ceremony, saying he did not know most of the people featured at the event. He believes that The Streamer Awards do not represent the entire streaming industry.

The streamer has previously accused the awards of being rigged and has repeatedly questioned the influence of certain people in the selection process.

Ross has also been vocal about his disagreements with founder QTCinderella. Their differences have been building for years, and the latest criticism suggests that the situation is far from settled.

Adin Ross Renews Plans for Rival Streamer Awards Amid QTCinderella Feud

Ross is not just criticizing the existing ceremony, he also wants to create an alternative. The Kick personality has renewed his plans to organize a competing streamer awards show, promising a bigger budget and a format that would avoid industry politics and favoritism.

His proposed event would aim to recognize creators across different streaming platforms, rather than focusing heavily on one established community. Ross believes a fresh approach could give overlooked personalities the recognition they deserve.

His rivalry with QTCinderella has also played a major role in the ongoing disagreement. Ross previously claimed The Streamer Awards was “rigged” after QTCinderella reportedly rejected a combined $200,000 charity offer from him and Asmongold in exchange for backend voting data.

For context, The Streamer Awards uses community submissions and one panelist pick per category to determine its nominees. Winners are then decided through a voting system that gives fans 70% of the weight, while the panel accounts for the remaining 30%.

Creators were also required to pre-apply to accept their nominations for the 2026 ceremony.

Ross's criticism raises questions about how well the awards represent the wider streaming community. Whether his proposed rival show actually happens remains to be seen, but he has made one thing clear, he wants an alternative to the current system.
