With CS:GO 's ELeague reaching its conclusion, a Dota 2 Major taking place in Hamburg and League Of Legends Worlds rolling on, there were some massive Esports tournaments in October – but who was the standout performer of the month? That, as ever, is up to you...

Our panel of expert casters have each nominated a candidate for their chosen esport and it's up to you to vote for your favourite in the poll below. Be sure to check out the nominations to help you decide.

Håvard 'rain' Nygaard (Counter-Strike)

Nominated by CS:GO caster Hugo Byron

Hugo says: The premier season of Eleague 2017 ran from September to the end of October. This event featured all of the top teams in the world, and with the way the competitive scene is shaping up, it was no surprise to see FaZe take the victory at the $1m event. Rain, the Norwegian player for the European team, carried FaZe through this event, ending the grand final (in which they beat Astralis) with a strong 94 ADR (average damage per round). This is a standout performance for one of the world’s most consistent players.

Alexei 'Solo' Berezin (Dota 2)

Nominated by Doug 'Zambrella' Todd

Doug says: There's been a whole load of Dota tournaments this month but the biggest one was the first Major of the Dota 2 Pro Circuit, ESL One Hamburg. With a prize-pool of $1m it attracted the best teams from around the world, and it was Virtus.Pro who scooped the cash. The biggest reason, in my opinion, is because of their support player and captain, Solo.

He showed an amazing ability to draft top lineups and play without making any mistakes, leading his team to victory and 750 Pro Circuit points.

Matthew 'Royal 2' Fiorante (Halo)

Nominated by Halo caster Mark 'Onset' Hatcher

Onset says: October was the culmination of the fall season pro league, with Dreamhack Denver hosting the live finals. The event did not disappoint. Double world champions OpTic Gaming had gone two events without a win, which, considering their past dominance, was causing some people to ask if this was the same team as before.

Once again OpTic found themselves at the top of the pack, and it was Matthew 'Royal 2' Fiorante who put in some of the biggest performances of the weekend. Deadly accuracy, near-perfect decision making and numerous clutch plays helped OpTic to a convincing first place finish.

Faker (League of Legends)

Nominated by Aaron 'Medic' Chamberlain

One name is ubiquitous with professional League Of Legends – the unkillable demon king, Faker. His dominance throughout the last five years has been undisputed. Coming into this World Championship there were questions about whether his reign would continue.

With underwhelming performances in the group stage, perhaps the king had fallen from his throne? He proved his doubters wrong by dragging his team through an intense five-game series against Misfits and then destroying RNG in their semi-finals.

Squishy (Rocket League)

Nominated by Rocket League caster Mike 'Gregan' Ellis

Mike says: I ask you two questions – who is the best mechanical Rocket League pro player? Which team dominated October?

Answers? Squishy and his team Cloud9. After placing first in the North American RLCS Season 4 Championship and winning Northern Arena – which had eight of the worlds best teams – we can safely say that Cloud9 dominated October.

Squishy was MVP for both competitions. Watch out for Squishy and his teammates Gimmick and Torment who are looking to be a dominating force at RLCS Season 4 Worlds in November.

Ryo 'Dogura' Nozaki (Street Fighter)

Nominated by Street Fighter caster Logan Sama

Logan says: You don't win two Premier Events on the Capcom Pro Tour without playing exceptionally well. You definitely don't win the final regular season Canada Cup – where all of the world's greatest are in attendance – without playing exceptionally well.

Often overlooked in favour of his compatriot 'Nemo' for title of best Urien player in the world, Ryo 'Dogura' Nozaki is my nomination for this month's most exceptional Street Fighter V player. He's now riding high in the Capcom Pro Tour rankings after a prolific October which saw him take first place at Taiwan Fighter Major, first place at Canada Cup and a ninth-place finish in Chengdu at Dueling Dragons Dojo.

That's a LOT of points in a very short space of time and he's now ranked 7th worldwide. He is now cemented as the most in-form Urien on the circuit.

Honourable mention to a very impressive individual effort from Tokido who, despite having qualified with ease already, entered the Asia Regional Finals last-chance qualifier in Singapore as a walk in, and defeated a field of hundreds before fighting his way through seven of the best in the region to become the ultimate gatekeeper and take the Asian crown. But Dogura's double Premier wins at two of the toughest events in the world means he's got my nomination.
