AWARDING THE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE ESPORTS INDUSTRY
AWARDING THE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE ESPORTS INDUSTRY

ABOUT

 

The third iteration of the Esports Insider Hall of Fame which we created to recognise and award those individuals who have built, moulded and continue to shape the esports industry.

 

In 2018, the awards evening itself took place at the Natural History Museum in the heart of London. In partnership with Ginx Esports TV we inaugurated the very first three ESI HoF inductees, and followed this up with a party in the main hall until the early hours of the morning.

Taking place during E3 in Los Angeles at Nixon Peabody, we decided the class of 2019 and celebrated the next three inductees’ entrance in style with an evening of drinks, fine food and even finer company all whilst overlooking the city of angels.

 

The ESI Hall of Fame is an ongoing and long-term project, with new members added each year. As esports is a global and borderless industry, the party is online for 2020 as part of the first day of ESI Digital Winter.
