Esports Awards 2021: All winners & nominees

The Esports Awards is an annual event that celebrates the very best in the business. The best players, and those behind the scenes are celebrated: We’ve got a rundown of the nominees and winners of each award from the big night.

In previous years at the Esports Awards, we’ve seen epic speeches from the likes of streamer Dr Disrespect and Richard Lewis.

Not only that, but in 2019, Dexerto won the award for Esports Coverage Website of the Year (sadly we didn’t get the nod again in 2021).

Here’s everything you need to know about the Esports Awards 2021, including the categories, nominees, and winners.
