I was mad when Etoiles won the FG streamer of the year but then seeing this really fliped how i was feeling. Max has always been a giant standing on his own inside circle but it is really something for the broad community to recognize him.

[@NB-xv6fo]

It's a popularity award after all, Etoiles would be the first to tell you that he wouldn't deserve the award. But they knew it was fucked up for Max and that's why they did this huge shout out.

[@WastelandWanderer1216]

Etoiles had a lot of support from his home nation of France.

[@CloudXStrife136]

Literally who is he?

[@Olonne85]

@@NB-xv6fo Nah Etoiles totally deserve that award for his own merits and he never said that he didn't deserved it at all. he said that Max was more deserving of it considering his career as a whole; the nuance is important.

[@yololoyo7379]

This award category is more prestigious, no popularity votes bs. Max 100% deserved this

[@Bassnaut93]

Hearing my give a heartfelt bellow for Max. I REALLY fuckin felt that. Max has been a paragon for so many of us. Thank you.

[@Flokker]

Ive been watching since the first moments of your channel and Ive been through some rough times in that period. Your videos (I dont watch streams live but I do like a vod every so often) were undoubtedly a part of what kept me floating in what was purgatory. Thanks for being you, staying you and making some of the most heartwarming pure gamer content both twitch and youtube have to offer. Much respek and love from Belgium.

Been watching you since 2019. So proud of you!!

❤🎉 I'm so happy for Max to get recognized and get this award. I started with the MvC 3 videos and Benny. Seeing JJ supporting her hubby. The birth of Ripley. Even when your videos aren't fighting game related they're awesome like the crew going to Nintendo land. You're Hype and Rage with Asura's Wrath is so what I do when I'm alone mashing the buttons for a QT event lol. So happy for you man. You deserved it Dood!!

[@CloZ28]

Remember meeting you at Family Fun Arcade back in the day when they just got Street Fighter 4 in. You where an awesome Dood then and ever a more amazing Dood now! Congratulation on all you success!!!

Wow, this is so awesome! So well deserved! Well done Max, JJ and doods and all those who support you in front and behind the camera! Thank you so much for all your hard work and for building your community. Couldn't agree more, chat is awesome! And the reason for that is that communities mirror their creators, no surprise this one is all sweethearts! Also lot of respect to those running the awards for this, shows some real class.

[@happymedium8785]

I'm new here, found you through SF6 and got excited about the awards for you! super deserved!! I love all the positivity here

[@dianceperez8540]

Dude I legit CRIED!!!!!!🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ like yo I’ve been watching this Channel since the 2nd year of its creation….that’s all the way back to in 2009…..I cannot fathom how MUCH I’ve been rooting for Max to get award….like this actually….for 10+ years I’ve been shouting that he NEEDS A AWARD for KZbin/Twitch Streamers

[@christianmiranda9552]

So deserved, and I'm happy a lot of the new generation were introduced to you at the Streamer Awards!

[@JoseAGamez-ci9rt]

It's been about 7 years for me I think? I've checked Max on and off but he's never been boring and always kindhearted. Thank you Max and the team for keeping the lightheartedness of childhood-like fun throughout the years. You all deserve it!

[@griffnuts]

I think that’s the first time in my life I’ve been thanked in an awards speech. Shine on Dood! So proud! Incredible achievement, richly deserved ❤️

[@juliencero]

So happy for you Max. You deserve all the praise. Shine on!

[@Thatdamnasain]

Been a fan since the MKX days , learned my first combos and fighting game vocabulary. Perfect mix of serious and fun, NO DRAMA OR SELLING OUT . Much deserved will continue to be a fan for many years to come . SHINE ON!

[@TokidoTaro]

Sadly havent found you until very recently and I dont get to watch the streams much, but I very much enjoy watching your VoDs and I really wish I had found you earlier. Congratz on the rewards, truely well deserved. Even for a new person like me it really shows how much you deserve this. Keep on Keeping on for as long as you can and still enjoy it.

[@thxrsdxys]

It's been such a wonderful journey being part of Max ch. I've enjoyed all of it

[@usamimi-no-majo]

Award well deserved and then some! It would have probably taken me a lot longer to get into fighting games if it wasn't for Max's content.

[@ankd956]

Been watching Max since the KI reveal and i never stopped following the dude, hes an inspiration and im glad he was recognized with that award, shine on!

[@harborwolf22]

Starting watching Max for his Call Of Duty gun reviews and never stopped watching. I don't play fighting games anymore, but that doesn't matter with Max. Legit one of the best to ever do it.

[@OneSleepyGiant]

Watching this as I sat in Helldivers 2 queue and the music made this whole thing feel so triumphant. We love you Max! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!

[@dnakatomiuk]

HD2 main menu so good to look at especially when it tells you stuff like 000000101010010 Or Server to capacity

[@jepr91]

I didn't watch the stream live but watching the first segment now, I'll be surprised if the loudest person in the audience isn't Kenny. It sounds like him.

[@jepr91]

I watched a little further, it's definitely him.

[@fallenone_79]

Benny would be smiling in heaven @MaximilianDood.

[@LaurRants]

To think I've been watching Max since I found him through, of all things, a metal gear rising revengeance playthrough. Him and Simmons put their play of the game up on Yo videogames and that's what I watched for the longest time! Since then I've kept up with all of his happenings, I gave two pieces of Benny fanart that cycle through the slideshow at the beginning of every stream, and he made me a lover of resident evil, killer instinct, smash, ff7, metal gear, and more. Thank you for everything max. A deserved trophy. Let's go and SHINE ON

[@jacobtridef48]

Started watching you cuz of FF7 vids, stayed cuz I realized you’re also into Tekken, and other games I’m into. One of my faves I’ve found in the last few years

[@Fusionknight_]

I started watching Max maybe in high school and usual I’m off and on channels. When I would come back I would just admire your character Max. Your genuine and authentic self made me such a fan . You never faltered from your passion and it gave me a deep dive into the past of gaming that i learned to appreciate even more so then I already did. Thank you for hours of enjoying.

[@axlgr33se]

Been chillin with you since late 2014, your passion for FFVII caught on with me immediately and brought me in and you also reignited an interest in fighting games for myself. Seeing you stick to your guns and just be unapologetically yourself throughout all these years with 0 wavering has been nothing short of a pleasure to be a part of man. Fighting games is one thing but you go far beyond just that, the legacy award is absolutely perfect for you. Cheers

[@Bigsauce7593]

Max is such a real one. Immediately thinks of his crew and everyone that helps and supports him
