As we conclude this strange year, we thought it would be important to acknowledge and celebrate the individuals who went the extra mile within our Esports program. Last week we released the list of winners for three Esports awards, each representing a different accomplishment. The first award we gave out was the Most Valuable Player award also known as the MVP award. This was an award that will be given out per team and was awarded to a player who’s devoted time, effort, and skill to help the team achieve new heights. The next award we gave out was the Exemplary Community Member award which was given per-game title and was awarded to someone who helped push their community forward and really put in extra effort to ensure their organization was more enjoyable throughout this remote year. Lastly we gave out a few Student Leader Awards which will be given to a select group of individuals that went above and beyond to represent the Esports program as a whole. While this was our first time running the Esports Awards program, we hope to continue this program for the years to come to really give back to our excellent community.
With that being said, we bid you all an excellent summer break! Without further ado, here are the winners!
