ESL will host their version of the Oscars in CS:GO

ESL announced on their website that they will hold their own version of the Oscar festival in the CS:GO discipline every year. In total, there will be three nominations so far: “Player of the Year”, “Breakthrough of the Year” and “Team of the Year”. ESL is a special reference to film culture and the local Oscar awards through special statuettes that will be received by the winners of a particular category.

It is noteworthy that the selection of winners will not be done by ESL themselves, but by professional e-sportsmen from the world ranking, which was compiled by the above-mentioned tournament operator. The procedure for selecting the best will begin with the compilation of lists of nominees. At the next stage, this list of nominees will be reduced to a few participants, among which the winners will be selected. In turn, a special commission will be engaged in reducing the list of nominees.

Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023 will be the tournament that will host the debut of this most esports Oscar in the CS:GO world.

ESL also want to give out an award to the player who will be recognized as the best player for the entire period of the past decade. He will receive his award during the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2022. The latter will take place in Brazil between October 31 and November 13.

The Player of the Decade award will look like this:
