Peller told his followers that their love and loyalty meant more to him than any trophy, and that simply being nominated for the Best International Streamer category was something he considered a blessing.
In his words:
"My family, we may not have won the award, but you all have given me something bigger than a trophy: your love, support and loyalty. Thank you to everyone who voted, campaigned and stood by me. Being nominated for Best International Streamer is already a blessing, and I will never take your support for granted. We are only getting started!"
Peller calls out Streamer Awards organisers
Beyond the gratitude, Peller used the post to express his frustration with how the ceremony was conducted. He claimed that the results for his category were announced on the red carpet, before the main event had even begun, which he described as unfair.

The former skit maker made clear that his grievance was not directed at the winner, but at the lack of equal treatment given to his category compared to others announced during the actual ceremony.
"Announcing our category and revealing the winner on the red carpet before the main event started was unfair. We deserved the same recognition and respect as the other categories announced during the ceremony. This is not about disrespecting the winner; it's about giving every category the recognition it deserves," he wrote.
He signed off on a defiant note, assuring his supporters that he remains motivated and that no trophy could replace the support they have shown him.
