This year has been monumental for esports as a whole. New high profile tournaments in CS:GO, Fortnite World Cup with a $30million prize pool and Dota 2 with OG becoming the first consecutive The International Champions. I can’t think of a better way to end this monumental year by honoring these players who gave the epic moments. Esports Awards have announced their nominations for Esports PC Players Of The Year.
Among the players are N0tail and Topson from Dota 2. Both are from the same team, OG which won The International second time this year, the first time in the history of Dota 2. The list also includes the name of Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, the 16 year old who won the Fortnite World Cup, thus winning $3million.
From CSGO we have s1mple, who has been on his peak this year, Twistzz and Dev1ce. Other players come from Rainbow Six: Siege, Overwatch and League of Legends. Here is the complete list of players:
