　　In addition to the game awards, the event will honor four "industry greats" with the Andrew Yoon Legend Award to celebrate their contributions to gaming and the impact they've had on the industry. Some of the previous recipients of this award have included Fils-Aime, Jade Raymond, Richard Garriott, Todd Howard, and Ralph Baer. The award is named for Andrew Yoon, the former editor of Joystiq and Shacknews, who passed away in 2015.

　　New for this year's awards show is the Shea Stadium Award for Best Esports Event. The nominees this year include the Street Fighter League, Overwatch League, League of Legends Worlds, IEM Katowice, and the Mortal Kombat 11 Final Kombat event.
