The spotlight on gaming wasn’t a side note; it was the plot. From stadium-ready podcasts to road-trip livestreams, every winning format showed brands and fans how large the Belgian scene has grown.

The gaming moments that mattered

• GameKast won the Kastiop Jamie, honoring the late Kastiop and crowning their weekly show as the country’s premier hub for esports analysis, indie spotlights and community banter.
• Chloe_IRL grabbed the Livestream Jamie by letting viewers ride shotgun in her truck every day, blurring real-life logistics with sim-game pacing.
• AverageRob walked away with three trophies, including Epic Jamie for ‘Marathon des Sables’, reminding marketers that crossover storytelling can pull in the same audiences that binge competitive gaming recaps.
• PateekeTV took home the Skilled Jamie thanks to nostalgic AI clips that remix retro gaming vibes for Instagram.

Put simply, gaming storytellers are no longer a side quest—they’re the main stage, and the Jamies just handed them the spotlight they’ve been building toward for years.
