As important as the coverage websites are the people behind them. Without outstanding young journalists, that drive their respective scene sites, the quick development of eSports from small to large scale would have hardly been possible. With the Scene Journalist Award, we honour those, who put all their energy and enthusiasm into informing people, often without getting paid at all.
