In the early hours of this morning, the nominations for the 2024 TGA Game Awards were officially announced. In the field of e-sports, five popular games, "Counter-Strike 2", "Dota 2", "League of Legends", "Valorant" and "Mobile Legends", have been nominated for "Best Esports Game".

In the "Best Esports Player" category, EDG zmjjkk (Valorant), Vitality ZywOo (CS2), Gen.G Chovy (League of Legends), NAVI AleksiB (CS2), Liquid 33 (Dota2), and T1 Faker (League of Legends) were shortlisted. At the same time, the nomination for "Best Esports Team" was jointly contested by five teams: BLG, T1, Gen.G, NAVI, and Liquid.+

Among them, the competition for the best esports player has sparked widespread heated discussions, especially the nomination of League of Legends legend Faker has become the focus. Faker just won the 2024 League of Legends World Championship with T1, becoming the first player in global history to win five championships. This achievement further cemented his status as the "No. 1 man in league history" and made him a popular candidate for this award.

Faker's nomination sparked heated discussions among netizens, and some netizens thought that Faker once again played a dominant performance this year, and he is a well-deserved GOAT in the League of Legends field, and he feels that he can directly award the award. However, some netizens pointed out that Faker has actually won not many championship honors this year, and it is indeed worthy of recognition to win the World Championship again, but the results in the LCK league and mid-season are not ideal.

It's worth mentioning that Faker has previously won the TGA Best Esports Player title twice (2017, 2023) and won the PC Player of the Year award at the Esports Awards in 2023. In addition, he is the first Hall of Famer in League of Legends history.

The TGA 2024 Awards Ceremony will be held on December 13, Beijing time, when the attribution of these awards will be announced one by one. Stay tuned.
