Marking its 10th anniversary, the ceremony celebrated the most influential players, iconic teams, and defining moments that shaped competitive gaming from 2015 to 2025.

From Riot Games being crowned publisher of the decade to Faker solidifying his “GOAT” status, the night showcased esports’ incredible growth. Check out who won the decade awards!
