On February 25, 2024, the EarlyGame Awards took place for the fourth time in a row and honored streamers, esports players and esports teams! If you're curious to see which nominees you helped to win with your votes, here are the winners.
This year, the EarlyGame Awards took place again for the benefit of Laureus Sport for Good, honoring the biggest and most successful streamers and esports athletes from Germany in 5 categories.
With a reach of several million and over 200,000 community votes, Germany's largest community-based streaming & gaming award has once again outdone itself.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for: The winners of the EarlyGame Awards 2024!
This year, fans really went all out to support their favorites, and until the very end, it wasn't clear who would take home the coveted trophy. In the end, however, only one person per category can win, and we honor them here. Sure, there are five winners in total, but only one per category.
Non-MainStreamer of the Year
Let's start with this year's newcomer, the Non-MainStreamer of the Year! Even though they usually have fewer followers than our other candidates, the nominees here have built up strong communities through their love for specific games, and get huge suport.
- Back2Warcraft
- Schwabbeltown
- H0llyLP
Upcoming Streamer of the Year
Here you'll find the streamers with the most growth, currently on the fast track to the top of Twitch! Growth is particularly important in this category, of course, and we naturally don't tolerate any shenanigans like botting, etc.

Esports Player of the Year
When it comes to esports, the nominees here are the crème de la crème, players who bring home international titles and represent German esports worldwide. To clarify once again, the winner here hasn't necessarily collected the most titles or prize money, after all, you vote your favorites to victory. However, all the nominees here are successful representatives of their field and deserve to be honored as such!
- Umut
- FabienneXIII
- Morten
Esports Team of the Year
Even though we just talked about outstanding esports players, in most competitive games, no single person is decisive for a team's success. The key to success is team spirit and cooperation, and the teams listed below have understood exactly that! Again, for your information, the team with the most votes won, not the one with the most titles, so if your favorite team didn't win, you'll have to vote more next year.
- FOKUS Valorant Team
- Red Bull Leipzig FIFA Team
- Eintracht Spandau
Gamer of the Year
The poster child of the EarlyGame Awards is the GOTY. Eli has taken this thing home twice already, and every year, he's in a neck-and-neck race with his competitors. In this category, the biggest streamers in Germany battle it out, so it's no wonder that all eyes are on the outcome of this epic showdown.
