O mundo das redes sociais, mais precisamente o do Twitter, rebentou com o anuncio dos nomeados os Global Poker Awards, primeira edição em que o Global Poker Index une todos os "melhores do ano" numa cerimónia, deixando no passado divisões entre European, American, etc.
Entre as categorias, duas delas, apropriadamente as mais próximas da internet, estão a provocar reacções de todos, do publico geral, a outros jogadores conhecidos a até nomeados:
I do hope to win best vlogger for 2018, for my combined 0 vlogs put out ?
These awards are a total joke. https://t.co/bssxDx1EYH

Que poderá ter sido dos primeiros a mandar a sua laracha "aos berros internéticos":
AFTER SEEING THE NOMINEES & CATEGORIES I WILL BE LAUNCHING MY OWN OFFICIAL 1ST ANNUAL POKER WORLD AWARDS W/ NOMINEES ANNOUNCED SOON & VOTED ON BY FANS AND WINNERS ANNOUNCED THE SAME WEEK AS THE GLOBAL POKER AWARDS.

Na "equipa da casa" também houve reacções:
My biggest concern with the @GPI nominations is that it shows the people in the media/industry really don't know what's going on in the content space. If we're looking for new characters in poker it doesn't help that characters putting out content on a weekly basis get overlooked

Onde Daniel Negreanu aproveitou para apontar que ele também poderia constar como nomeado para podcast:
Yeah w/ how many possible options there are most people just pick who they know and/or friends with.
I imagine most of the people choosing watch very little streams, podcasts, vlogs to begin with.
Poker World Awards will fix this.

Entre as várias reacções entre os maiores nomes do poker mundial, destaque para Matt Berkey, regular dos MTT mais caros do planeta, que lamenta a falta de reconhecimento a novos nomes para celebrar os já famosos, algo que Barny Boatman toca mais abaixo:
I know any subjective award is going to come with varying opinions, but in an industry that is desperate for growth I'm sad to see the panel continuing to lean on accomplished names rather than promoting those who are growing the game from the ground floor. https://t.co/RngP5qT49K

A fechar, a correcção via Twitter ao comentário de Veldhuis, onde o holandês é corrigido para sua surpresa:
Ah my bad if this is the case! I would be surprised if players got asked to pick this though.

Barny Boatman, um dos mais de uma centena que compõem o painel que geram a lista de nomeados, aproveitou para deixar umas palavras sobre a sua experiência entre as categorias e nomeados:
I took my panel role very seriously, but in some categories a lot of nominees were unknown to me. I felt I had to do it in one pass and in all categories, and (inevitably) tended to favour what I knew. I did ‘write in’ one glaring omission though; Journalist @ThePokerBaffer

Com mais ou menos argumentação via passarinhos, esta 1ª edição dos Global Poker Awards realizar-se-á a 5 de Abril, nos estúdios PokerGO, em Las Vegas, com o patrocínio da PokerStars.
