The people in Himalaya Center is currently busy and they are preparing for the upcoming event, Gold Annul Awards. The Warcraft Annual Awards will be announced in the afternoon.
This event is very grand for Warcraft III players. In terms of nominations for awards, the Chinese TH000, Infi, Fly, 120, Xun, TeD, Qiao Lin and SnowKiss have all been nominated for Professional and Popular Awards, which is also the best award for their Warcraft career. Last year, popular Awards was not that interesting, in this year they even nominated Infi and 120, meanwhile, our popular caster Yaya is nominated again, and the new commentary Yumiko joins to see if he is a dark horse.
In addition to the nominations, what are the highlights of this year's Gold Awards Annual? Let's take a look. (This kind of gossip topic, I like it, I really like it.)
Fly will walk on the red carpet with Yaya,
and Liege looked so angry?!
The red carpet ceremony to be held at 16:00 pm, and the guest will walk with a partner. Because SnowKiss is the host in the ceremony, and she is also included in the nomination of Hearthstone. Warcraft's only beauty commentary Yaya became the only female of competing men, and finally Fly100% got the opportunity to walk with Yaya on the red carpet.
In the stream last night, Fly can't restrain himself's excitement, "I will meet Yaya and Jiaojiao tomorrow!" And Liege typed out on chat "???"
Let' see the video of this progress.
Remark by GLH: Liege is Fly's Girlfriend.
Who will be the Popular Commentator?
TeD and Yumiko may lose to her too!
In the event last year, we were surprised to find that the SnowKiss got more votes the TeD, and even in the final result, the number of Yaya was much higher than TeD too.
"Warcraft III has been staying with me for the best ten years of my life, I will be the best commentator Whether it was ten years ago or ten years later, Warcraft III is the best game."
-SnowKiss, Warcraft III best commentator nomination.
The reason is Yaya and Snowkiss are the commentator of Warcraft III and HearthStone at the same time. Especially Snowkiss, she is the most popular female commentator of these years in China. So, when the fans were voting on the HearthStone, they would vote for Snowkiss too. That's why Snowkiss got much more votes than other nominated commentator. In this year, can TeD and Yumiko win Snowkiss?
Which player should get the best player of the year?
NetEase may be in trouble.
In this year(2018), the performances of Chinese players are not looking so great, in the first half of 2018, Lyn was dominating mostly all tournaments, and got 10 titles in the online tournaments, in the second half of the year, it is the time of Moon, he was playing much better than others. In this situation, the Chinese players is looked like the background of a poster. 120 got most prizes in 2018, Fly turned over the games many times and became the most popular player, Infi just got the title of the year, TH000 was the champion of WGL Summer, seems their results are so close, NetEase may be in trouble right now.
What a big Mistake?
In this morning, the Chinese fans was being Crazy!
After that, War3station asked NetEase and got the answer, it's just a mistake.
So, is it a surprise before the event?
Who will get the "Mystery award"?
Last year, Tolkien won the Outstanding Contribution Award. At that time, his award-winning photos were made into a lot of various versions, which was the joke of our company after a meal.
Who will this year’s mysterious awards be, and who will walk with this man on the red carpet? At 16:00 let's watch the Blizzard game channel to see who will get the Awards.
