“I didn’t have a speech prepared today because I was expecting someone else to win. But I did talk to QT on the sidelines and this was my Make-A-Wish, so thank you very much, everyone, I appreciate it,” said Kyedae during her speech.

Many viewers on the LSF Subreddit thread containing the clip and fans of Kyedae commended her for her attitude, composure, and sense of humor. She clearly won the hearts of the audience, even those who may have been expecting other streamers to win the category.

“One of the best moments of the awards ceremony. Kyedae knows how to have fun lol,” said one user.
