Riot Games Dominates the Game Awards

Riot Games Wins Big at The Game Awards with Valorant, Faker and More

Welcome, gamers! If you missed the 2023 Game Awards on December 7, don't worry; I've got the inside scoop on all the epic wins and moments that made it a night to remember. It was a great night for RPGs and action games, but the big winner of the game was Riot Games, who managed to boost the Esports table into the spotlight and bring home a record-breaking number of trophies with VALORANT winning Best Esports Game of the year!

First things first, let's talk about the Game of the Year, Baldur's Gate 3. Dungeons and Dragons fans, rejoice! This epic adventure got the Game of the Year title but also walked away with Best RPG, Best Community Support, Best Multiplayer, and the Players' Voice Award. Neil Newbon, one of the game's actors, also nailed the Best Performance. Talk about a clean sweep!

Hot on Baldur's Gate 3's heels was the surreal horror journey, Alan Wake 2. This spine-chilling sequel scored big with awards for Best Directing, Best Narrative, and Best Art Direction. The competition was fierce, but Alan Wake 2 proved it's a force to be reckoned with in the gaming world.

Now, let's dive into the world of Esports, where Riot Games left everyone in shock and awe. They didn't just win; they dominated the scene, grabbing every award in their path. Riot Games emerged as the most awarded Publisher of the night! Here's the impressive list of awards they took home:

Best Esports Event: 2023 League of Legends World Championship Best Esports Coach: Christine "Potter" Chi, Evil Geniuses (VALORANT) Best Esports Team: JD Gaming (League of Legends) Best Esports Athlete: Lee "Faker" Sang-Hyeok (League of Legends) Best Esports Game: VALORANT

And let's not forget that League of Legends itself was in the running for Best Esports Game of the Year against VALORANT. Riot Games is clearly on fire, setting the standard for competitive gaming on a global scale.

Riot's dedication to Esports and games like VALORANT is undeniable, with initiatives like the VCT, Valorant Game Changers, and the Valorant Premier tournament. They've created a colossal competitive gaming ecosystem, boosting every single player’s chance to chase their dreams and become a part of the pro-scene. Valorant is effectively the only game where you can go from Bronze to World Champion with Riot’s support every step of the way.

After their triumphant night at the 2023 Esports Awards earlier this year, Riot Games doesn't show any signs of slowing down. In fact, they even clinched the Esports Publisher of the Year award, solidifying their status as gaming trailblazers.

As we wait for whatever Riot Games has in store for us in 2024, one thing's for sure: it's been a phenomenal year for League of Legends, Valorant, TFT, and all the Riot Forge games. Stay tuned, fellow gamers; Riot Games is just getting started, and we’ll be here to keep you updated every day!
