[enigmatic_alex44]

So how prestigious is this awards show compared to like the Oscars or some...

*sees E-Sports category*

Nevermind.

 

[MasterHoodie]

Hoping Deadmau5 plays a bad set, gets flustered, and flaps his wings around the stage like he did at The International.

So how prestigious is this awards show compared to like the Oscars or some...

*sees E-Sports category*

Nevermind.

Just because it has an e-sports category does not devalue it as an awards show. Hopefully we get to a point where e-sports can get their own show, away from the general games award.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Nice ready for that TW3 win

-Kojima don't let me down

-Rockstar what are they doing there?!

 

[Zalman]

I'm ready.
