The Game Awards 2024 Continues to Spark Controversy in the League of Legends Community
This year’s The Game Awards 2024 has once again ignited debate following the announcement of the Esports categories. Specifically, the award for Best Adaptation from Game to Film was awarded to Fallout, a film released in mid-2024 on Amazon Prime. Notably, Fallout’s victory surpassed strong competition from Arcane 2.
Many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with Fallout’s win over Arcane 2. After all, Riot’s series has garnered significant acclaim, with its second season frequently ranking high on IMDb’s weekly charts across various platforms. Although a small group remains critical and contentious, overall sentiment within the League of Legends community suggests that Arcane 2’s loss is a significant blow.
However, numerous voices argue that Fallout’s win is entirely justified. The film not only met expectations but also exceeded them, as evidenced by its first season ranking as the top production globally in 110 out of 240 countries, while this adaptation has seen a rising viewership. Additionally, the Fallout film attracted 39,000 concurrent players, marking its highest engagement since launch.
League of Legends Community Need Not Regret as Arcane 2 Remains Captivating
Indeed, Arcane 2 has consistently dominated IMDb ratings for about a month since its release, leading up to its finale. Nevertheless, Fallout’s victory is also well-deserved. At TGA 2024, the fan vote count was merely one factor. The win of any category depends heavily on the expert jury’s decision.
Moreover, the high ratings of Arcane 2 on various platforms, such as Rotten Tomatoes, reflect the strong fanbase supporting the series within the League of Legends community. Therefore, it is challenging to solely rely on audience ratings to evaluate a film’s worth.
Furthermore, with awards like these, there will always be controversies. Regardless of acceptance or dissent, the community will always have the opportunity to engage in debate.
