Some of the honors went to player of the decade Faker, on-air talent of the decade Sjokz (“shocks”), and game of the decade League of Legends. Now, obviously T1 is a LoL company, so tell me: if you were giving an award in gaming for the last decade who would you like to see honored?

The headliner news is that since the introduction of mod support in September 2024, fans have uploaded over 8,500 mods and hit 265 million mod downloads… of which over 248,000 were for the “Withers Big Naturals” mod, which you can search up in your own time. So that got me thinking: if you could mod Baldur’s Gate in any way, what would you do?
