The streaming world is not a stranger to mockery and streamers taking shots at each other. This is why it was not that surprising when Asmongold targeted streamer Pokimane after the Esports Award Streamer of the Decade podium was revealed.
Quickly seizing on to the moment, Asmongold didn’t hold back as he targeted fellow streamer Pokimane for her inclusion within a prestigious list. It sparked some intense reactions all across X.
How did Asmongold react to the Esports Award Streamer of the Decade podium list?
On seeing the awards podium, which placed Pokimane third, right behind xQc and Ibai, Asmongold didn’t hold back. He on social media, posted a picture with a three-faced dragon.
The dragon that replaced Pokimane, making a funny face, with its eyes and tongue all out. With it, he didn’t just question the legitimacy of the results, making fun of the streamer, but also made fans comment that her inclusion within the top three was “weird.”
While Asmongold took his chance to mock, the reaction from the fans was sharply divided. A fan on the post circulating commented, “I guarantee the public didn’t choose the winners.” The user implied these results weren’t a genuine reflection of the viewers’ opinion.
While the other openly stated, “I mean, he’s not wrong.”
“He right Pokimane is mid streamer who lived out of Simps,” added another user siding with Asmongold on his stance.
“Not wrong,” said another, showing the disbelief and aligning with Asmongold’s critique.
The entire comment section highlighted the community’s significant segment sharing skepticism on award’s outcome and the stature of Pokimane, which was considered relative to her peers. There was also a starting debate on the credibility of the award.
Asmongold has a history of taking shots at Pokimane
The entire incident was not isolated. Just like the other streamers, Asmongold previously spoke against Pokimane, indicating, upon a calling out pattern, what he perceived to be inauthentic. In the past instance, he did critique her for the public apology which she issued.
It was for her made statements about Amber Heard during the Depp-Heard trial livestreams. Asmongold, at that time, labelled her as pathetic and patronizing. He accused her of giving priority to a sanitized public image and not genuine accountability.
The latest comments of Asmonfold, after the Esports Awards Streamer of the Decade podium list revelation, seem to extend the ongoing narrative.
While challenging the credibility of the list and the streamer’s position in it, he did continue to position himself as the voice that is willing to question mainstream opinions and some popular streaming world narratives.
It therefore solidifies his reputation for the often controversial and unfiltered controversy.
