The Esports Awards, the most prestigious night in the esports calendar, is excited to present the finalists for this year’s creative & collegiate categories which include the likes of FaZe Clan, Team Vitality, and LittleJem with voting now live. This year’s Esports Awards will be hosted at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas on December 13th.
The finalists were announced by Parker “Interro” Mackay, Yinsu Collins, & Thom “Fdot” Badinger as part of Esports Awards’ fourth Spotlight Show of the year. The show also featured a quiz where a VALORANT expert Yinsu and Rainbow 6 expert Interro went head-to-head to see who knows more about esports.
The Spotlight Show also played host to an interview with Jake Lucky, esports personality, interviewer, presenter, and reporter, who discussed Full Squad Gaming’s nomination for Content Group of the Year, an organisation he recently joined. Lucky is an esports apparel enthusiast and co-founded Esports Closet – an organisation focused on promoting and displaying the best apparel and merchandise from the esports industry.
