HLTV Streamer of the Year 2025: Finalists Revealed as Community Voting Goes Live

HLTV has officially opened final voting for the Streamer of the Year 2025 award, one of the five Community Awards decided entirely by user votes. After an initial round featuring ten nominees, three finalists remain in contention for the title, with voting running until the end of December.

The winner will be crowned during the HLTV Awards ceremony in Belgrade on January 10, 2026.

HLTV Streamer of the Year 2025 – Finalists

The final shortlist for Streamer of the Year 2025 includes:

1. ohnePixel (Germany)

2. fl0m (United States, Mythic)

3. Evelone192 (Ukraine)

These three advanced from the first voting stage, where the community narrowed the original list of ten nominees down to the final contenders.

How HLTV Community Voting Works

The HLTV Community Awards are decided 100% by votes from active HLTV users. For the 2025 edition, voting is split into two stages:

• Stage 1: Ten nominees reduced to three finalists

• Stage 2 (Final): One winner chosen from the finalists

Only users who registered on HLTV before December 9 are eligible to vote, ensuring fair participation and preventing late account creation for vote manipulation.

Voting for the final stage runs from December 24 to December 31.

Why These Streamers Stand Out in 2025

ohnePixel

A long-time presence in the Counter-Strike ecosystem, ohnePixel has built a strong reputation through CS event co-streams, in-depth discussions, and active involvement with the competitive scene. In previous HLTV interviews, he has spoken about how his content evolved beyond simple watch parties into a broader CS-focused project.

fl0m

Former professional player turned full-time streamer, fl0m remains one of the most recognizable North American Counter-Strike personalities. Representing Mythic, his streams consistently blend high-level gameplay with educational commentary and community interaction.

Evelone192

One of the most popular CS-focused streamers in Eastern Europe, Evelone192 has maintained strong viewer engagement throughout 2025, earning his place among the final three through community support.

Streamer of the Year Is Part of a Larger HLTV Awards Picture

Streamer of the Year is one of five Community Awards at the HLTV Awards 2025, alongside:

Talent of the Year

Event of the Year

Creator of the Year

Skin of the Year

For streamer and creator categories, HLTV collaborated with Stream Hatchet, using verified platform data such as watch time, airtime, and average viewership — while ensuring all nominees are primarily focused on Counter-Strike content.

When and Where the Winner Will Be Announced

The Streamer of the Year 2025 winner will be revealed live at the HLTV Awards ceremony in Belgrade on January 10, 2026, alongside the rest of the annual awards celebrating the best players, teams, events, and creators in Counter-Strike.
