Esports Awards fandt sted tidligere på måneden, og denne begivenhed har til opgave at fejre de bedste personligheder fra esportsbranchen hvert eneste år, fra fotografer til journalister, fra spillere til trænere. Vi talte for nylig med stifteren bag showet, Tom Mercey, samt marketingschefen Michael Ashford, og her talte vi om hvordan verden havde taget imod showet.
"Early indications show that we had over five million live viewers. Certainly on Twitter alone we had over two million, and I think as an engagement figure from Twitter we're up to over 25 million, and they're engagements not impressions. So we're kind of, we know that we've got people who want to participate, that want to express an opinion," sagde Mercey.
"We've realised that there's an appetite for additional shows looking at the industry, going to different venues and locations that are complimentary to our partners, and really exploring the stories behind a lot more of our finalists. I think it's something we're really excited to build towards, and I think the physical location of our awards next year will be interesting to develop over the next couple of months."
"I really think the key one for us is we're going through a huge process at the moment of collating feedback, listening to those people that we hold dearest to us - the community and our panelists - and ensuring that we're building a product that people are proud of. I think that if we can continue to constantly reassess what we do and in some cases fast track elements of that, then I think we'll hopefully get to a product that will continue to grow."
