➡️ Vote now and make role models in esports visible!

With the new Equal Esports Award, we want to make a statement that goes far beyond gameplay and tournaments. The award recognizes outstanding players who set standards with performance, attitude, and passion.

Below, you'll find everything you need to know: objectives, categories, why your vote counts, and how to vote.

Why this award?:

The esports scene continues to grow rapidly – ​​but despite increased visibility, equality and recognition of women and non-binary talent remain central themes. The Equal Esports Award specifically celebrates a group that isn't usually in the spotlight: players who not only perform but also inspire. So, it's not just about statistics – it's also about role models, development, consistency, and impact.

The categories:

Most Improved Player of the Year – For exceptional development and performance improvement. Role Model of the Year – For inspiration, fairness, and commitment. Best Playmaker of the Year – For game understanding, creative strategies, and team leadership. Most Consistent Player of the Year – For consistent top performances and mental toughness. Rookie of the Year – For a strong debut on the big stage.
