The battlefield is still smoking from the intensity of the tussle. Eight streamers met across three games to determine who would be the Streamer Showdown champion and win our coveted championship belt. Plus, one of the streamer's viewers would win an OMEN MAX 16 Gaming Laptop.

Our streamers were tested in all the classic forms of video game mastery. They fought in Street Fighter 6, they scrambled in Peak, and they drove a car into a ball in Rocket League. They weren't just posting wins, though. They were also awarded game-specific Cool Points, powered by the cooling capabilities of the OMEN MAX 16's vapor chamber. These Cool Points were just as vital to their ultimate victory as their skills—and everyone knows a dub isn't a dub unless you do something rad.

BarefootTasha and APLFisher kept it tantalizingly close during SF6 and Peak, but ElainaExe walked out with the belt after posting absolutely blistering numbers in Rocket League.
