The organizers of the TV Emmy Awards have summed up the results in the sports categories. The International 10 Final won the award for Outstanding Esports Championship Coverage. Representatives of the Television Academy announced it on its social media.
The final match between Team Spirit and PSG.LGD drew more than 2.7 million viewers, setting a new record for the number of viewers at The International tournaments. The previous result was 1.9 million. This jump was due to many CIS fans and the 2-year break between TI9 and TI10.
There were 5 nominees in the category "Outstanding Esports Championship Coverage":
- League of Legends Worlds 2021 Final: DAMWON KIA vs. Edward Gaming;
- Overwatch League 2021 Grand Finals: Shanghai Dragons vs. Atlanta Reign;
- Ultimate Madden Bowl Finale;
- WePlay AniMajor final: Evil Geniuses vs. PSG.LGD.
This was the only Esports award presented at Sports Emmy 2022. All the other categories were for sports events.
