Esports Awards — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 13:43:09 +0000

The Esports Play By Play Caster of the Year award honours the caster who has provided some of the best calls over the past year in any esports title. Whether they have called moments that have been immortalised forever with their words, or have had a consistent year of high-quality broadcasting this person will be at the very top of the game.

Esports Awards — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 13:42:27 +0000

The Esports Colour Caster of the Year award honours the colour caster who has provided some of the most memorable analysis and calls in games over the past 12 months.

Someone who has acted as a colour caster in esports during the last 12 months.
