The 2020 Tempest Awards Results
2020 is a weird year. The COVID-19 pandemic has rocked the esports and gaming industry, changing the way we do just about everything. From tournaments being held online only to game delays, just about everything has felt the impact of the coronavirus. And yet, the show must go on. Such was the case at this year’s Tempest Awards, held annually at the Esports Business Summit. The 2020 edition was hosted admirably by Arda Ocal and we’ve got the results here.
