"She is something that I enjoy even though some people think she's cringe" - xQc on voting for ExtraEmily for the Best IRL Streamer at The Streamer Awards 2023

xQc spent the first hour of his broadcast casting votes for the 26 categories of The Streamer Awards 2023. During the process, he talked about various categories, such as Best FPS Streamer, Best Speedrun Streamer, and the Hidden Gem Award.

Upon seeing the nominees for the Best IRL Streamer category, Felix remarked:

"Best IRL Streamer. Probably Emily."

The 27-year-old content creator noticed fans in his Twitch chat not agreeing with his take and responded by saying:

"Guys, see, the reality is, if I explain my thought process, right? I'm right, but then everybody hates me. Okay? These are things you don't explain to people."

xQc then explained why he chose ExtraEmily over prominent IRL streamers like Jake "JakenBakeLIVE," Jinnytty, Fanfan, and JOEYKAOTYK. He stated:

"I voted Emily because, okay... I voted Emily because I think she is something that I enjoy, even though some people think she's cringe. Okay? I think she can make content out of nothing. Which is what I also find; I relate to that vision."

The conversation ended with xQc stating that he believed the other nominees were not on the same level as ExtraEmily:

"I think some of the other ones do a little bit less of that, and I think that's a lot in IRL, if not the only value for IRL. Well, okay. These are my thoughts."
