Esports is filled with the most pathetic fandoms imaginable. This award recognises the efforts of those groups in making the industry an insufferable place.
I mean, 9 months out of the year was us all huffing copium thinking CS2 would be the release that addressed all our concerns.
Instead all we got was a stripped down "port" with one beautiful map. It was awesome once I got to 4k ELO in limited beta and realized I'd NEVER rank out of it with -500 for a loss and +100 for a win.
Seriously though, I'd have taken a graphical step backwards if Valve could address the integrity aspect that's missing from the game. Cheating should be able to be addressed like adults. Instead we have a community of denialists who insist nobody is cheating and that I am just mad they're better than me.... Hmm, if I was a cheater would that be my "take"?
Instead, all I got for Xmas from Valve was a false-ban they reversed 90 minutes later.
cs community gave it their all this year and still came up short smh
Next year maybe

Gratz to the Dota 2 community
Dota Christmas gets me every time.
Well deserved, but a quick shoutout JKS/Hooxi fanboys as they deserve recognition as well. Best of luck to all next year!
Surely the Australian fans deserve an honorable mention.
The cs community fall short once again.
What a disgraceful performance from them
