The nominees have been evaluated and the finalists chosen; now, another round of voting begins. This year's Esports Award Finalists have been selected from the previous round of nominees in preparation for the award ceremony coming this fall.

Unlike the previous finalists chosen for industry-based awards, Group 2 recognizes personal achievement with categories like Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Event of the Year, and more. Over the coming months, the finalists will be put to a public vote and a panel vote before the ultimate winners are announced at a live award ceremony held in London on November 12th.

Without further ado, here are your 2018 Esports Awards finalists!
