Esports Insider has announced the return of the ESI Hall of Fame awards. After taking place online for the past two years, the Hall of Fame awards will finally be returning in-person on September 5th at the gaming bar Platform in the bustling area of Shoreditch, London.<\/p>\n

The ESI Hall of Fame ceremony will also mark the opening of ESI London 2022, a two-day esports industry festival bringing together some of the leading professionals and companies in and around the industry. These awards, focused exclusively on individuals, serve to honour those who have best contributed to the development of the esports industry and whose work has made a real difference to the sector.<\/p>\n

Alongside the Hall of Fame inductee, this year\u2019s awards ceremony sees the introduction of three new categories that will be presented to the individuals chosen by ESI:<\/p>\n

\n
• Hall of Famer \u2013<\/strong> Recognising an individual that has made a highly significant contribution to the industry at large and aided in its growth.<\/li>\n
• Rising Industry Star \u2013<\/strong> Recognising the achievements of an individual that is newer to the industry but who is already making a notable, positive impact in esports.<\/li>\n
• Youth Award Champion \u2013<\/strong> There are a number of great initiatives both in and out of educational institutions globally in the field of esports which deserve recognition. This award recognises the actions of an individual who is actively contributing in this area and continues to inspire the next generation.<\/li>\n
• Community Champion \u2013<\/strong> Esports isn\u2019t all about the top tier competitions and big prize pools. Its potential as a vehicle for positive social impact in local communities is vast, and the importance of grassroots done right cannot be understated. This award recognises some of those making the right moves to support the grassroots and within their local communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Previous hall of fame inductees includes Jason Lake (CEO of Complexity Gaming), Heather \u2018sapphiRe\u2019 Garozzo (ex-Counter-Strike Observer and current VP of Marketing at Dignitas) and Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez (Owner & CEO of OpTic Gaming) amongst others.<\/p>\n

  The conclusion of the award ceremony marks the beginning of ESI London 2022. Taking place at BOXPARK Wembley over 6-7th September, the event will offer the very best in networking, education, content, and hospitality!<\/p>\n
