We've reached the conclusion of the Stay Plugged In's 2022 Summer Series, but before we sign off, we have one last matter to settle. Who has earned themselves a prestigious Player Award for their hard work over the course of the season? What makes these awards extra noteworthy is that they are the first of their kind. With the award comes a title in the Stay Plugged In Discord server, and an official title to add to the player portfolio as players pursue the college esports program that fits them best.
We've collected and analyzed the stats over the course of the regular season and took into consideration the player performance in the Summer Series Invitational presented by Coca-Cola. Out of our three nominees per award announced prior to the playoffs, only one player can take each title. These are your 2022 Summer Series Player Award winners.
