Malr1ne and Whitemon nominated for player of the year

The organizers of the Esports Awards 2025 have announced the list of nominees for the title of Best PC Esports Player. This year, nine candidates will compete for the award, including Team Falcons midlaner Stanislav Malr1ne Potoraс and Tundra Esports support Matthew Whitemon Philmon.

It was also revealed that Falcons coach Curtis Aui_2000 Ling was nominated for the Coach of the Year category. The information about the nominees appeared on the official Esports Awards website.

Let us recall that Malr1ne and Aui_2000, together with Team Falcons, became champions of The International 2025 and took 2nd place at Riyadh Masters 2025, where in the grand final Team Spirit proved stronger.

It should be noted that a year earlier, Stanislav already participated in Esports Awards 2024 in the “Breakthrough of the Year” category, where took the victory, and Team Falcons was named Club of the Year. At Riyadh Masters 2024, the team placed 3rd, losing in the lower bracket final to Team Liquid.

Whitemon, meanwhile, since late 2023 has been playing for Tundra Esports. Alongside the team he became champion of FISSURE PLAYGROUND, BLAST SLAM II and BLAST SLAM III, and also placed second at the Chinese Clavision DOTA2 Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi. At Riyadh Masters 2025, the squad made it to the playoff stage, where they lost to Team Falcons in the match for entry into the grand final, and then failed to overcome PARIVISION, finishing fourth. Unfortunately, Whitemon missed The International 2025 due to visa issues.

The winners of Esports Awards 2025 will be announced on November 12 at the award ceremony. On the official website, anyone can cast their vote and view all the participants of the event.
