CRACK Awards: a recognition for the world of eSports

After another year in which esports demonstrated spectacular growth, The CRACK Awards recognized the most outstanding teams, organizations and personalities in this world. Events such as the Argentina Game Show, the Valorant and Counter Strike World Cup, the Flow Gamergy, among others, are clear examples of how far eSports have come.

Although streaming and gaming are not exactly the same, they are two worlds that coexist, constantly feeding each other. That is why Streaming exponents in Argentina were part of yesterday’s ceremony, in which they delivered and even received prizes: Coscu, Momo Benavides and davoo xeneize They were part of the 2022 CRACK Awards.

Among the most significant personalities for the scene were Frankkaster and K1ng, two of the greatest figures in electronic sports. The CEO of 9z, who along with his team was nominated for different shortlists, stated: “It is showing that the scene grows year by year.”

As a special guest, someone who knows the gaming world very well, but who rose to fame thanks to Big Brother House. Agustin Guardis, known as Frodowas one of the most mediatic and controversial “little brothers”.
