Indian gaming content creator, YouTuber, and Twitch streamer Ashswag has won the Best International Streamer Award at the 2026 Streamer Awards, beating Nigerian creators Carter Efe and Peller in the process.
The 22-year-old emerged as the winner of the award on Thursday, 12 November 2026, at a ceremony held in Los Angeles in the United States.
Carter Efe and Peller secured nominations for the international award after the organisers unveiled the shortlist in October, putting the Nigerian streamers in contention.
However, they both missed out on the prize as Ashswag was declared the winner of the award.

While expressing excitement after his win, the Asian Twitch streamer told the audience: “Thank you so much, I feel absolutely incredible. It is nice to meet you guys. Thank you so much.”
The presenter subsequently complimented his English, prompting the streamer to respond: “Thank you so much. English is actually an official language of India.”
Meanwhile, reality TV star Phyna has accused the organisers of the 2026 Streamer Awards of using Carter Efe and Peller to promote the event despite allegedly knowing that neither would win the Best International Streamer Award.
Speaking via her verified handle, she said: “Nothing you want to tell me, they know they are not going to give it to a Nigerian streamer. Trust me, they know that they are not going to give it to a Nigerian streamer. They use us run ads. Jesu, they use us run better ads.”
