The awards are for those working in the esports industry within the UK, or who have worked in it over the past year. Finalists are due to be announced soon recognising talent across 16 categories, including Player of the Year, Caster of the Year and many more.
Esports News UK joined up with fellow news site UKCSGO to work on the UK Esports Awards, which was announced back in February this year.
You might remember this 2016 ENUK Awards article, which featured a mix of serious and light-hearted awards in article form.
It had a good reception, and gave us the idea to turn it into an actual event. UKCSGO founder Adam “Blanks” Heath also had that idea, and so we decided to join forces and help recognise some of the UK’s top esports talent, from players to casters, organisations to staff and more.

As a long-time gamer having first picked up the NES controller in the late ’80s, he has written for a range of publications including GamesTM, Nintendo Official Magazine, industry publication MCV and others. He worked as head of content for the British Esports Federation up until February 2021, when he stepped back to work full-time on Esports News UK and offer esports consultancy and freelance services. Note: Dom still produces the British Esports newsletter on a freelance basis, so our coverage of British Esports is always kept simple – usually just covering the occasional press release – because of this conflict of interest.
