Esports awards winners 2023: who became the best esports athlete in the world

Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, the mid laner for the T1 League of Legends team, was named the PC Player of the Year in esports at the Esports Awards 2023.

This information was announced by the organizers of the awards on Twitter.

Nomination "PC Player of the Year":

• Nikola "NiKo" Kovač

• Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut

• Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač

• Zhuo "knight" Ding

• Chon "Chovy" Ji-hun

• Emir "Alfajer" Beder

• Max "Demon1" Mazanov

• Quinn "Quinn" Callahan

• Cho "Maru" Son Chul

It's worth noting that the title of the player can indeed be considered well-deserved. In 2023, Sang-hyeok became the World Champion in League of Legends for the fourth time.

He won all the World Championships as a member of T1, playing for the organization since 2013. It's also worth mentioning that T1 was recognized as the Team of the Year at the Esports Awards 2023. However, neither the team nor Faker were initially included in the list of nominees.
