The Esports Awards, the ultimate highlight of the esports calendar, is back and they’re bringing the excitement to Las Vegas for the 2023 edition. This year’s event promises not only the grand ceremony itself but also networking opportunities and the highly anticipated Lifetime Achievement Mixer. It’s the perfect chance for brands, organizations, and industry thought-leaders to gather, exchange ideas, and make valuable connections.

It’s a truly state-of-the-art setting to celebrate the best of the best.

The Esports Awards is thrilled to team up with 5GRV: Gamers on the Road for an exciting partnership.

Recognizing the potential of the collegiate scene, we’re introducing the Scholars as a platform for players, individuals, and organizations in that space. We can’t wait to welcome talented individuals from around the world to join us in November for some well-deserved celebrations.”

Let’s not forget the incredible spectacle that was last year’s Esports Awards at Resorts World Las Vegas. It was a milestone event that brought together the biggest names in esports and beyond. PUBG Mobile, LOUD, and Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag were just a few of the winners that night. The 2022 campaign saw a whopping 17 million total viewership, 115 million impressions, and 10 million votes cast. With those numbers, it’s safe to say that the Esports Awards are expecting nothing less than another remarkable year in 2023.
