Heading up what will undoubtedly be a laundry list of industry talent presenting the awards, the show as a whole is being hosted by presenter and content creator Elz the Witch, a self-professed lifelong gamer.
"It feels great, I still really can't even believe it, and it's coming around so quickly now as well," Elz explained.
"I'm just so excited, and I just want to get out on the stage now and do it."
"I think and go back to where my brain was during the time of starting my YouTube channel and building a computer for the first time and learning how to even record audio and record myself, and I think that I never imagined that I would even do anything like this."
While she describes herself as "more reserved," you wouldn't be able to tell from her career, which has seen her take to radio stations such as Kiss Xtra and Kerrang, as well as presenting the Sidemen Charity Match multiple times.
"I think it's the biggest thing that I've done in my career to date, because hosting an awards show is an amazing thing. It's a lot," she stated. "I think that the fact that the people in the room are so many people that I admire and I respect, it does put a little bit of pressure on me.
Like most gamers, Elz has been into gaming since she was a child. Initially, she would sit and watch her sister play Final Fantasy VII, reading the dialogue to her aloud, and she credits "experiencing [games] through the form of other people" as where her love for gaming originated.
She described a particular memory from school, and of beating the boys in her class at a racing game on the school computers.
"And if I look back to that time period, there weren't really women to look up to in the industry in the way that there are now.
"So that was my first experience of 'you're a girl, you shouldn't like video games', but it lit something inside of me, this feeling of proving people wrong."
"I think that it's a combination between the games companies and the developers and the studios [to solve the issue], but I also think that social media companies have a huge responsibility.
"And I think that there are such strict crackdowns in other areas of the internet where people are banned, but for some reason, when it comes to abuse that people receive in video games, the technology doesn't exist."
"I try and think of younger women in the space trying to get into video games, or just a casual gamer that logs on and receives abuse for no reason. It's not very nice, and I know that can really affect some people, so it's worrying, and I think there is a lot more work that can be done."
"I think that having me presenting the awards, I hope that I can help demonstrate that despite the trials and tribulations on the way up, I'm still here, and I want to make an impact for the next generation of women."
