At the Games Convention, which is going to take place at Leipzig trade fair in about one month, the greatest achievements within eSports since the last award are going to be honored. Last week we announced the nominees for the Regional eSports Player of the Year. Now the winners of the seven regions are determined.

This year we subdivided the “eSports Player of the Year“ award into seven regional awards: North America, South America, China, Korea, Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. The public polls were held on the biggest and most prestigious eSports pages of all seven regions.

The seven winners of the regional polls are nominated for the worldwide “eSports Player of the Year“ and will be crowned at the Games Convention in August. The winner will be determined by the eSports Award Academy.
