Shikenso is back in the running for Esports Supporting Service of the Year at the Esports Awards 2026, our second consecutive nomination in the category.

We are proud to share that Shikenso has been nominated for Esports Supporting Service of the Year at the Esports Awards 2026. It is the second year running that our work has been recognised in this category, and it means a great deal to everyone on the team.

The nomination places us alongside a strong field of organisations building the infrastructure that keeps competitive gaming measurable, accountable, and investable. This year's category includes Character Select Agency, ESG Law, Esports Charts, FACEIT, GRID Esports, JAM Management, Liquipedia, Odin Law and Media, Prodigy Agency, and The Story Mob. Standing among names like these is exactly the kind of company we want to keep.

Two Years in the Same Company

Being nominated once is an honour. Being nominated again, in the same category, says something about consistency. Over the past year our team has kept sponsors, rights holders, and agencies closer to the numbers that decide whether a partnership renews. Seeing that work recognised a second time tells us we are building something the industry values, not just something that photographs well.

The category itself is a crowded one, filled with organisations doing serious work behind the scenes. Standing alongside them again is a reminder of how far the measurement side of esports has come, and how much room there still is to push it forward.

A Word From Our Co-CEO

“A nomination like this was never going to be about one person. It's the people behind the scenes, building the technology and supporting our partners, who put us here. I'm proud of what we've built for this industry this year.”

Arwin Fallah Shirazi, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Shikenso

From Las Vegas to Miami

This year the Esports Awards moves to Miami for the first time, following its 2025 edition in Las Vegas. The ceremony brings together creators, competitive organisations, and executives from across the industry, and it takes place in November.

A new host city gives the whole event a fresh backdrop, and we are looking forward to being part of it. Celebrating the people and companies pushing esports forward is one of the best nights on the industry calendar, and we are glad to have a seat at the table again.

Cast Your Vote

Public voting is open now, and every vote counts toward the final result. If our work has helped you make sense of your sponsorship and brand data this year, we would be grateful for your support.

Voting runs daily until 10 November. From 3 to 10 November, the Esports Awards runs a Turbo Week, during which each vote carries double weight, so the final stretch is where your support matters most.

Thank you to everyone who has backed us this year, whether as a partner, a client, or a friend of the team. A nomination like this belongs to all of you as much as it does to us.

ROI is a numbers game. Play it to win.
