Esports Awards: Ninja 'blessed' to pick up two awards
Ninja says he feels "blessed and honoured" after winning two Esports Awards.
The streamer picked up Personality of the Year and Streamer of the Year at the event in London on Monday.
He told fans on Twitter after the ceremony: "No stream tonight guys. I am going to play FFXI with my brother and best friend tonight and just relax. Very crazy day today."
The 27-year-old has 11 million followers on Twitch.
It makes Ninja the most followed streamer on the platform.
Twitch itself won Streaming Platform of the Year – beating Facebook, YouTube and Znipe.
