The streamer got onstage to deliver his speech and thanked the fans, his friends and family, and the community for the honour.

Additionally, Tarik also thanked Riot Games for creating the “greatest game in the world.” After thanking QTCinderella for hosting the show, Tarik immediately goes back on what he said. He raised his award in the air and screamed, “I’m just kidding, Counter-Strike for life.”

As expected, fans were ecstatic to see Tarik take home the victory as the underdog and shout out Counter-Strike on the big stage. They were also highly amused by the dig he took at Riot Games. Overall, the Streamer Awards were a great night for the community and highly enjoyed by fans.
