“Being nominated for not just one, but for three Esports Awards means so much after the long road producing Metagame” said Travis Beauchamp, writer, producer, and director of Metagame. “I’m thankful for the communities’ continued support and reception to my creative work. Their support along with everyone who helped put together Metagame made this all possible.”
