From Wikitia The Esports Awards is an annual awards ceremony dedicated to celebrating and honouring the achievements across the esports industry, with categories devoted to the community, creative, industry, on-air and professional competitive scene. The Esports Awards is the only awards ceremony in the gaming industry that focuses solely on celebrating success in the esports scene.
The awards ceremonies have been streamed live on a number of OTT platforms including Twitch, Twitter and YouTube and are held in November each year. Pre-shows for the awards are also streamed periodically throughout the year, announcing when voting is open and who the nominees are. Play of the Month runs all year round, with short-listed nominees for the Play of the Year award then presented at the ceremony.
First presented in 2016, there have been five ceremonies since the inaugural year.
Created in 2016 and was initially named the "Esports Industry Awards". The award show was the only gaming award ceremony that focused specifically on the achievements of esports scene, with the Game Awards only having a few categories devoted to esports.
The name was changed in 2017 from "Esports Industry Awards" to the "Esports Awards". The name change was carried out to encapsulate the esports community and industry under one brand name. The change in brand name was to recognise that the Esports Awards is an award ceremony dedicated to represent the entire esports environment.
Throughout the 2016.[1], 2017 and 2018 campaigns the awards ceremonies took place at The Brewery London.
The 2019 ceremony was held at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas[2]
While 2020 saw the awards move online due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
When the nominees are announced as being open by the Esports Awards, nominees are submitted by the public. Nominations are evaluated by the Esports Awards panel (made up from experts/specialists from the industry) and the finalists are then announced. Once all the finalists are announced, the public then vote on their front runners for each category based on the nominees achievements over the past year. The Esports Awards process partly includes community votes alongside the votes from the Esports Awards panel. Votes are submitted via the Esports Awards website. After the public votes have been accounted for, the Esports Awards panel vote on their choices for each category, adding their vote to the public's and ultimately deciding the winner. The Community accounts for 25% of the overall vote and the Esports Awards Panel make up the final 75% of the vote. The winners are announced at the Esports Awards ceremony.
The judging for the Esports Awards is one of the most transparent and stringent of procedures, all overseen by the Esports Awards Panel/Esports Awards Committee. The Panel is made up of around 20 individuals spanning all corners of esports. From the likes of experts in League of Legends, Dota 2, Twitch, Youtube, Overwatch, Major League Gaming and more. The Panel is responsible for overseeing all of the voting procedures, contributing to 75% of the overall vote for the majority of the awards. In the case of completely community voted awards the Esports Committee close voting and sign these winners. Any individual is able to apply to become a member of the panel.
Thhis is a dedicated area on the Esports Awards website which catalogues the winners for the previous years awards ceremonies, dating back to the inaugural year. The Hall of Fame has bios for each of the winners, describing the achievements over the 12 month period for each individual or group. This tab within the website allows easy access to previous winners and an understanding of the gaming climate of that year. The Hall of Fame aims to be an area where every year the Esports Awards recognises excellence, creates a legacy and honours the industry.
There are the three core values that the Esports Awards aims to fulfil with their awards ceremonies. The three pillars are recognising excellence in esports, creating a legacy and honouring the industry. Recognising excellence ensures that success of players and organisations are appreciated and celebrate their achievements globally. Creating a Legacy focuses on documenting players and organisations success over the year ensuring their achievements are recognised in future years. Honouring the Industry refers to ensuring that the behind the scenes work for every esports event is recognised and celebrated. These core values are pinnacle for structuring the Esports Awards.
A monthly event presented by the Esports Awards. The event showcases some of the best plays from the professional scene of esports. The videos are brought out monthly showing 6-8 plays from professional players in recent esports events or tournaments. Video clips can be sent via Twitter or email by the fans. The plays are all chosen internally by the Esports Awards experts in their field. All the plays display moments in the match where the players show an impressive amount of skill in their given field.The public are then able to vote on their choice of best play of the month. All the winners over a 12 month period become nominees for the Play of the Year Award, with the winner being announced at the Esports Awards ceremony. There is also a wildcard category where runner-ups are given the chance to come back and be nominated for Play of the Year.

During the 2018 ceremony, Oladeji "Deji" Olatunji announced the wrong winner for the Esports Publisher of the Year. Deji tricked the audience by announcing that Epic Games was the winner for the category, although as Epic Games got up to take the award he said it was all a "joke" and Blizzard Entertainment was the true winner.
Deji also took a jab at Twitch, who had a table at the event as well as being responsible for streaming the nights event. In his statement he sarcastically thanked the company "Yo, shoutout to Twitch for illegally streaming our fight, you owe us money! Woo!". This was a reference to some Twitch users illegally broadcasting him and his KSI vs. Logan Paul|brother's boxing matches against Jake and Logan Paul earlier in the year.
