Just like » last year, an Esport Award Event will be held at the Games Convention in Germany. This year is not different, and the nominees have just recently been announced. Apart from general categories such as Best Newcomer, Player of the Year, Team of the Year, Best Publisher and Best Coverage, there are also special categories for Counter-Strike and WarCraft 3 players.
