On Twitch there was an unpleasant moment at the award ceremony of McKy’s Fortnite tournament at Gamescom Lan 2025.
What kind of situation is that? From 21 to February 23, 2025, Gamescom Lan took place, an event where tournaments were held in more than a dozen current games. Also included was the Twitch streamer McKyTV, whose tournament had to get prize money of a total of 20,000 euros.
A young player was able to secure the 1st place and thus 10,000 under the name Tilted. But there was an unpleasant moment at the award ceremony.

“Why are you not really nice?”
What went wrong? Just when the winner was determined, McKyTV followed the call of nature: he said goodbye for a short toilet break and promised to carry out the award ceremony right away. His co-presenter, the Twitch streamer Honeypuu, apparently didn’t really notice this. Honeypuu is one of the greatest streamers in German Twitch.
A short chaos emerged in which the streamer finally opened up to interview the lucky winner. However, the resulting conversation was difficult to bear if you are susceptible to third -party shame:
What was so bad? Honeypuu tried to build a conversation and asked the player about his mood, his personal background and his rank in League of Legends – but he remains quite monosyllabic. The unpleasant mood was also commented on the chat, whereupon the streamer justified herself: she did not know that she had to do that that she was not good in small talk.
Finally, the streamer stops her attempts. This is followed by a few minutes of embarrassed silence, in which the two are waiting for McKyTV to come back and redeem them.
It would have remained with an unpleasant but harmless situation if Honeypuu would not have decided to dissolve the silence with a question. In front of over 5,000 spectators who watched at this point, she asks: “Why are you not actually nice?”
You can see the moment here:
The streamer accuses the 19-year-old not to be a nice person. Then she says goodbye with the words: “Sit down and enjoy that you got money.” In the way, she adds: “Is that blatant.”
How do the audience react? In the chat, many spectators feel sorry for the winner: it was nice, just nervous and maybe a bit tired – after all, it was around 11:30 p.m. and the tournament was already several hours.
For the spectators, on the other hand, there were some remarks by the winner about the interview skills of the streamer and the falling number of spectators.
In a statement, Honeypuu stated that she only reacted in this way because of these taunts. She feels right, but also admits that she could have acted more professionally.
Streamer continues to ride her reaction
So it went on: The excerpt was discussed last week in several videos on Tiktok and YouTube. The opinion blogger Alphakevin accused Honeypuu “extreme disrespect and arrogance”.
Many spectators judge: the 19-year-old was nervous, Honeypuu had exposed him to thousands of spectators. However, others point out that the streamer also felt visibly uncomfortable in the moderation role.
However, the video from February 27 is no longer available due to a copyright strike. Letting a video block instead of clarifying the conflict privately is extremely frowned upon under influencers, because this will lose an important source of income and even threaten to block repeated strikes.
