Event of the Year: BLAST Premier Fall Finals
One of the two arena events of 2021, BLAST Premier Fall Finals was a key step towards the return to LAN that we have witnessed since. With over 860 thousand viewers, and a massive audience in the Royal Arena, the event was a massive success. The immaculate BLAST production and the mind-blowing stage design all combined to make the event one of the most memorable.

- EFL Sky Bet Play Off Finals (Football)
- The Hundred (Cricket)

Partnership Award: The Louvre Agreement
The other half of CS:GO nominations comes in the form of the Louvre Agreement. ESL's landmark revenue sharing agreement has seen great success in 2020 and 2021. Teams like NaVi have mentioned figures nearing 2 Million Dollars in revenue from the partnership. Additionally, the agreement also grants a permanent slot in the ESL Pro League for its partners.
In 2021, Furia, BIG, and Heroic signed a $20 Million Dollar deal to join the agreement, and more recently the teams unanimously extended the agreement till 2025. With the recent ESL-FACEIT Group merger, the revenue streams will likely increase moving forward.
“The Louvre Agreement’s nomination for the Partnership Award at this year’s Sports Industry Awards is a testament to the value and investability of both CS:GO and the ESL Pro League. To have the Louvre Agreement recognised by an organisation such as the Sports Industry Group is a real honour. I will be very proud of the team if this nomination results in the Louvre Agreement becoming an award-winning partnership.”
Meanwhile, the Louvre Agreement will be competing against the following partnerships for the Sport Industry Awards:
- Dreams x TeamGB x ParalympicsGB
- EA Sports FIFA21 x Midnight Ramadan League
- Small Businesses United (EFL / eBay)
- Lucozade Sport & Hashtag United
