A Las Vegas sono state premiate nella notte le eccellenze dell’esports internazionale: Valorant e Cs:go ancora protagonisti.

Nella splendida sala del Resorts World di Las Vegas, in Texas, si è tenuta la cerimonia di premiazione degli Esports Awards 2022. La serata, presentata da Lexus e che ha visto la compartecipazione di numerosi brand e sponsor, è stata l’occasione per celebrare le eccellenze dell’esports di livello globale nelle oltre trenta categorie selezionate dalla giuria: le nomination e i vincitori sono poi selezionati dal pubblico che può votare sul sito dedicato indicando la propria preferenza.

Ancora Valorant

Dopo aver conquistato quattro premi su cinque nomination ai The Game Awards, Valorant conquista anche agli Esports Awards il premio come Best Esports Game of the Year. Non solo, bissa anche per il miglior team con la vittoria dei Loud, trionfatori ai Champions, il mondiale di Valorant, e con il premio al miglior Play-by-play dell’anno, la britannica Lauren “Pansy” Scott. Accanto a lei premiata anche un’altra donna, l’analyst Jessica “JessGoat” Bolden, figura che ricopre diversi titoli tra cui Rainbow Six Siege e Valorant.

Riot Games, dal canto suo, ha portato a casa sia il premio di Best Broadcaster, grazie ai contenuti competitivi relativi ai circuiti di Valorant e di League of Legends, che quello di Best Esports Publisher.

Segue Cs:go

Il premio forse più ambito, quello di Giocatore dell’Anno, questa volta è andato a Counter-Strike: Go con la vittoria dell’ucraino Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, protagonista con i suoi Natus Vincere per l’intera stagione 2022 dell’fps targato Valve e recentemente insignito del titolo di “Giocatore del decennio” in occasione dell’ultimo Major dell’anno disputato a Rio de Janeiro. 

Cs:go si è presto anche il premio di giocata dell’anno con la vittoria andata al canadese Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken, primo cittadino di Ottawa a vincere un Major di Counter-Strike al Pgl di Antwerp con i suoi Faze Clan. 

Gli altri vincitori

A vincere come Controller Player of the Year è stato Matthew “Formal” Piper, leggenda di Call of Duty, mentre Ceng “Order” Zehai, giocatore cinese dei Nova Esports su Pubg Mobile, ha vinto come Esports Mobile Player of the Year. Pubg Mobile, inoltre, si è portato a casa anche il premio di Mobile Game of the Year.

Gli Optic Gaming hanno invece vinto il premio di miglior organizzazione esports, mentre gli 100 Thieves hanno conquistato quello di Personalità dell’anno con il loro boss Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag.
