Counter-Strike e Valorant foram os principais destaques da noite
Os vencedores do The Esports Awards 2022, premiação vista como o Oscar do esporte eletrônico, foram apresentados para o público na noite desta última terça-feira (13). A equipe brasileira de Valorant da LOUD conseguiu vencer na categoria Esports Team of the Year, uma das principais da noite. Muito se deve ao título do Valorant Champions, conquistado em setembro deste ano.
A noite foi protagonizada por uma série de categorias vencidas pelo FPS da Riot Games. O jogo foi nomeado como o principal do ano, e conseguiu superar grandes concorrentes como League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive e Free Fire. Além disso, a desenvolvedora levou a melhor na categoria Esports Broadcast/Production Team of the Year e Esports Publisher of the Year.
Visto como um dos grandes concorrentes de Valorant, o CS:GO também apareceu bem representado na lista de vencedores do The Esports Awards deste ano. Isso porque Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev foi o ganhador da categoria Esports PC Player of the Year, Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken na Esports Play of the Year, Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi como Esports Coach of the Year e, por fim, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov como Esports PC Rookie of the Year.
O Brasil também contava com outros representantes na lista de pessoas que poderiam aparecer como vencedores do The Esports Awards. Entre eles Bruno “nobru” Goes, Gaules, Nicolle “Cherrygumms” Merhy e outros nomes conhecidos do cenário. Entretanto, a LOUD acabou sendo a única a representar os brasileiros e conseguir sair com o prêmio.
