TUESDAY was a great night for game publisher Blizzard, as it scooped two huge prizes at the annual eSports Awards, held in London.

Blizzard won eSports publisher of the year and its biggest and most successful title, Overwatch, beat out a cavalcade of popular titles to win eSports game of the year.

Overwatch was voted in ahead of global phenomenons like League of Legends, Fortnite, Dota 2, Counter Strike and Call of Duty.

The popularity of Overwatch over the last two years has quickly led to the establishment of the Overwatch League, which has seen teams based in cities around the world, competing in the multiplayer first-person shooter.

The ownership of Overwatch teams has been in the headlines lately, after a bizarre affair in Toronto in which a Toronto-based team pulled out of a tournament over a naming issue.

The eSports Awards have become an important date on the sport’s calendar and provides an opportunity to shine a light on the brightest talents in the industry
