After three years of giving out the Best Publisher Award, the choice fell to making the Award go out for a more specific achievement. By honouring the eSports Game of the Year, the eSports community gives back to those who are making us what we are. It also serves to demonstrate to publishers, that eSports is an important field of business for them and that developers should abide to the needs of the active online players. All games that were published in the year leading to the eSports Award Ceremony are eligible in this category.
