League of Legends holds the strongest trader consensus at 60.5% for Esports Game of the Year at the 2026 Awards, driven by its proven track record, including the 2025 win, and sustained momentum from high-profile events such as the ongoing Asian Games with star rosters featuring players like Faker. Counter-Strike 2 sits at 34% on the strength of leading September prize pools, robust viewership at events like EWC 2026, and an active major circuit that keeps its competitive scene prominent. Valorant trails at 8.2% amid ongoing Champions play, while lower-probability titles like Rainbow Six Siege and Dota 2 reflect thinner recent international exposure and community engagement relative to the leaders. Fan voting, closing November 10 ahead of the Miami ceremony, shapes final outcomes, with current pricing capturing the wisdom of crowds on established league formats and recent form.
