An MVP award isn’t just won at a tournament or in a game. In real life, an MVP award is much more satisfying, and that award this time went to professional Apex Legends player Jacob “HisWattson” McMillin.
The player has donated over $25k in PC, thousands more in a BIPOC tournament, and helped fund various good causes thanks to the ad revenue he generated on Twitch for the holiday season.
HisWattson has kept its promise
Recall that last October, HisWattson announced that different advertising spots would start appearing on his Twitch channel. The revenue generated would be used to buy Gaming Equipment for his fans who could not afford it.

All of us who know this popular Apex Legends streamer see that he has always been opposed to placing ads on his Twitch streams. But, in a move many will remember his entire life, he leveraged his recent partnership with MSI to help the community.
Have decided that I will be running ads on my channel and spending it on giving gaming equipment to people in my community who cant afford to buy it themselves 👍

There is no doubt that many gamers worldwide can’t afford to buy gaming peripherals, let alone PCs, so Santa Claus arrived this Christmas in the form of HisWattson for a lucky few.
Finally, last December 21, HisWattson announced that he had approximately $20k coming out soon. The streamer also took the opportunity to thank MSI for this collaboration.
