One of the top recognition bodies and prestigious awarding ceremonies for all things gaming is finally done in naming its chosen top notchers, which contributed a lot to 2020's gaming landscape. The emergence of the coronavirus's global pandemic indeed made gaming one of the country's current largest platform.

Additionally, online gaming expanded even more as people got more time participating in live matches in massively multiplayer games like battle royale and MMORPG. Streamers also grew this year as more audiences are available to watch at home with only an internet-capable device to participate.
