"Wait, what the f**k?!" - Valkyrae surprised upon learning that The Streamer Awards 2023 will feature an in-person crowd
Earlier today, Valkyrae got together with QTCinderella to host a special Valentines-themed baking livestream. As the broadcast wrapped up, the content creators announced that Rachell would be co-hosting The Streamer Awards 2023.
Valkyrae provided details, revealing that she had been considering co-hosting the awards ceremony for two months:
"So QT asked me if I wanted to co-host, and I was like, 'Let me think about it.' I thought about it for like, two months! Was it? Was it more? It was like two months because I really... it was after I did the... I presented an award at The Game Awards, and I realized... I told, 'Yeah, it sounds great,' but then I realized presenting one award was only like... five minutes. And so I was just honest with her, I told her, I was like, 'Okay, listen. I think I would be really nervous and scared.'"

A few moments later, QTCinderella mentioned that her audience could still purchase tickets for the in-person event. Valkyrae was surprised to hear that The Streamer Awards 2023 would have a live audience and claimed that she had no prior knowledge of this:

QTCinderella revealed that this year's function would have 300 attendees and elaborated:

Valkyrae was astounded when she learned that over 1,000 people would be attending the awards ceremony:
"Holy s**t! That's crazy! That is so crazy that we just announced this, and I'm now hearing that! That is insane! Holy s**t, I can't get out of this, man! Okay, no, it's fine. No, f**k you, bro! We're in this together! You f**ked up. We are going to be stressed together. You can't get out of this. You, for sure, can't get out of this."
