He defeated Brian_F Tyler1 and Diaphone to take home the top prize
Tekken professional player, competitor, and streamer Phi “PhiDX” Lam has emerged as the winner of the Best Fighting Game Streamer award at The Streamer Awards, which were held yesterday.
PhiDX has been a prominent name in the Tekken scene for many years now, and this year was up against some of the best in the business. He took the win over others like Street Fighter streamer and host of the Trash Talk podcast, Brian_F, former League of Legends pro and fairly recent fighting game enthusiast Tyler1, and fighting game streamer and pro Diaphone.
PhiDX also announced his win on social media, where he posed with his award, thanking everyone for their support.
PhiDX's content is mostly around Tekken, including news, balance updates, and many, many educational resources to help people get into the franchise. He has also been dabbling in other games, most notably Street Fighter 6, and has been on record saying he is really interested in the release of Tifa Lockhart, who is coming to the game. He had long been vocal about wanting Tifa in Tekken as he believes her playstyle would have worked within the Tekken structure. However, it was not to be with Tifa coming to SF6 in 2027.
The streamer has had an amazing year with the continued growth of his content and his recent marriage which he announced back in September.
The Streamer Awards were held in Los Angeles, California, and were established back in 2022 to recognize those who have brought great value to the streaming world.
