The world's leading Counter-Strike portal HLTV officially announced today that the HLTV Award Show 2023 will be held at the beginning of next year in the capital of Serbia.
The official declaration of the best Counter-Strike player for 2023 will be held in Belgrade on January 13, 2024. With the support of RLG (Relog Media), which will be in charge of the production of the entire event, HLTV will raise its new project to an even higher level than to what we saw last year.
The first live edition of the HLTV Awards took place last year in Sweden when Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev was named the best player on the planet for a record third time. And this time, the best player will be revealed live, with the presence of leading public figures from CS esports.
This will also be a farewell to the Global Offensive era of Counter-Strike esports, which is why it is not surprising that Belgrade was chosen as the host, when you take into account the fact that the capital of Serbia became the center of events during and after the online era of CS:GO - a. Let's remind you that the best teams on the planet have started regularly coming to Belgrade to prepare for the RLG training camp, which they will be able to do during the HLTV award ceremony.
Although this year is specific in that we switched from CS:GO to CS2, it is important to note that there will be no double awards, but both counter exchanges will be watched for the final outcome.
As for the awards themselves, HLTV will be handing out awards for - Player of the Year, Women's Player of the Year, Women's Team of the Year, Team of the Year and Best New Player in 2023. In addition to the HLTV awards, there will also be awards that will be awarded by a special jury consisting of the HLTV board, players and commentators and analysts. Awards will be given to the best IGL, AWP player, "anchor" player, "closer" player, "opener" player, coach and player of the year.
The biggest Counter-Strike award show returns ????
