The award organizers have already announced the finalists in other categories as well. Among the contenders for “Streamer of the Year” are Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart, Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr., and Marc “Caedrel” Lamont. The “Esports Content Group of the Year” nominees include G2 Esports and Karmine Corp, while “Mobile Esports Game of the Year” will see competition from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PUBG Mobile, and others.

In 2024, the awards will be held in two stages. The first stage will take place during the Esports World Cup on August 24 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The second stage will be held in London later in the year, with details about this event yet to be announced.

Magnussen’s musical tastes may surprise some fans, as the Danish-born driver includes the likes of Billy Idol and Led Zeppelin, with the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself, Elvis Presley, also prominent on the playlist.

One of the reasons that we set up Play’n GO Music was to bring together a community of music lovers, and this project has certainly succeeded on that front.

“Kevin’s musical tastes are certainly eclectic, and it’s easy to see how his choices get him pumped up before jumping into VF-24 every weekend. Let’s hope for a successful weekend in Austria for the whole team!”

Kevin Magnussen, Driver, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team said: “I’ve watched with interest as Nico, Ayao, and our background teams have shared their favourite songs with everyone at Play’n GO Music, and I’m excited to finally get the chance to put my own spin on their Spotify channel! I hope my musical choices bring you as much pleasure as they bring me, and I hope to have your support in Austria this weekend.”
