Today the winners of the annual eSports Awards were revealed today in the ESL Intel Arena at the Games Convention. The Warcraft III prize went to 4Kings Human player ToD.
Earlier this evening, a large crowd, including all the nominees present at the Games Convention, gathered in the ESL Intel Arena to follow the announcement of the eSport Awards winners. Chinese Human player Xiaofeng "WE.Sky" Li, who obviously wasn't present as he's currently participating in the CEG in Wuhan, was nominated to the most prestigious prize - eSports Player of the Year. However, he was not declared winner.
WC3 Player of the Year Nominees
Olav "4K^Creolophus" Undheim
Yoan "4K^ToD" Merlo (Winner)
Xiaofeng "WE.Sky" Li
Jang "MYM]Moon" Jae Ho
Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn
The World Elite player was also nominated to Warcraft Player of the Year, along with MYM]Moon, SK.HoT and the 4Kings duo Creolophus and ToD. Somewhat unlogical, Sky was not made winner of this prize either as the title went to his fellow Human player Yoan "4K^ToD" Merlo.
