Baldur's Gate 3 didn't take home the win, international treasure Borislav Slavov took home the win!

[@SkatKat]

What a lovely person. Missing from this clip is the walk down as the whole team at Larian in the seats cheered for him so loudly. It's nice to see humans being nice to each other. He did an amazing job!

[@neo_varna]

we need more of that :)

[@Karmychan]

Finally a reward for the sublime music of BG3 ! I'm so sooo happy for Borislav, it's really deserved !🥹 His emotion upon receiving his prize is adorable and touching ☺️

[@ThrashMosh]

IMO Borislav already deserved an award for his work on Divinity 2. Six years later and I still get chills from "Mead, Gold and Blood"...

[@Hanfgurkenhasser]

The entire DOS2 OST is just full of beautiful songs but I gotta agree that "Mead, Gold and Blood" is among the best, if not the best.

[@celestialcthulhu773]

Mead, Gold and Blood, and Sing to Me are my top favs! I'm so happy he won.

[@arox2962]

Yeah, not just ost though, dos2 deserved a lot of awards and nominations. Best rpg went to persona5, I love p5 but it’s not a better RPG than dos2

[@SereglothIV]

I personally prefer DOS2 soundtrack over BG3, but obviously both are masterpieces. Borislav is a genius composer and a lovely person.

[@martinivanov1319]

BULGARIA!!!!!!!! IM PROUD OF YOU, BORO!!!

[@Allucards]

Bobby, please

[@Cathleigh]

Such a heartwarming speech, no fakeness or arrogance, just someone who has done breathtaking work showing beautiful emotion at being appreciated for it. A very well deserved award.

[@carbonfibercarpet4655]

I loved seeing how happy he was to receive this award. Absolutely deserved. The OST added so much to the game 🙏

[@its.Lora.]

This is the best win, im so happy for Borislav! 🎶🎼 The best, Borislav is a musical genius. BG3 music is music therapy to me. Thank you BAFTA for recognizing video game music. 💜

[@breezyimpressions]

As amazing as all of the game is, it's right from that opening chorus and notes at the main menu that you know you're going to be in for a treat. Much congrats to Borislav and Larian.

[@JackOfBlackPhoenix2]

I literally got into the habit of just sitting in the main menu for 3 minutes every time I launch the game just to let the main menu song play out because I can't bring myself to skip past it, such a good theme

[@AmyDiamod]

Enough to make a grown woman cry. You deserve it Borislav ♥

[@25Dzone]

Such a genuine, humble acceptance speech - I'd much prefer guys like him get recognised at these grand award ceremonies than people who have won them 100s of times as Actors in a movie - they also deserve their props but this just feels like rewarded some of the staff we never get to see and that's special.

[@golauree]

This man is such a wonderful human being.

[@fave525]

Borislav is honestly a genius and I'm so happy to see him accepting this award, he deserved it!

[@devoratodorova]

Borislav Slavov! Congratulations! A Bulgarian winning a BAFTA finally!!!! I am super proud!!! Your music is so beautiful and it deeply moves our souls🎶💗

[@Cookieforevah]

Bobby deserves this award 100%

[@rethomore]

Why Bobby tho, he's Slava or Borya c:

[@marinka1895]

Not in Bulgaria, where he's from ​@@rethomore

[@ChiakiNanami736]

That’s what authenticity looks like!

[@Cristbell76]

I was legit crying for this moment, he captured every feelings with his masterpieces, he is a heart full and humble man. This was his best moment ever and he better knows how much we love him. ❤ Congratulations @Borislav

[@NickHunter]

I've watched this too many times. Something so moving about someone so overwhelmed with joy it wrecks me

[@goulasleves12]

The game’s music is breathtakingly beautiful, and I am so glad his talent and hard work (as well as the whole team’s) is being recognized and celebrated.

[@w3bcor3]

he's a damn musical genius, & so is his team. i love that he said "swen trusted me from start to finish". to trust that a fellow artist shares in your vision & passion, that must be amazing. congratulations to him!!!!!!

[@jellomello2683]

So glad he got something to take home too. The baldurs gate 3 music is absolutely wonderful, he really really deserves this.

[@Lovely2291]

Boris made me cry. Hearing the emotion in his voice and the gratitude is so palpable. Way to go Boris!

[@TBHJR]

Borislav blew me away with this score for Divinity Original Sin 2, but his masterful work on Baldur's Gate 3 was breathtaking. I can't even describe how it makes me feel but I know that it's truly a work of genius.

[@vinniepetkov5972]

Finally someone to be proud of for my home country of Bulgaria, congratulations !!!

[@Pavel-Geleznov]

congratulations sir Borislav, you finally won your deserved award

[@Songfugel]

Larian been attracting so much talent and great personalities over the years, I am so happy that companies like that still exist and are appreciated

[@becca867]

Borislav Slavov has something very special about him and his music. I hope to hear more of his beautiful compositions!

[@Idlepug]

It was so stressful watching him accept but in a good way! 😂 so well deserved, been on hard rotation om Spotify since soundtrack came out

[@svetakirko8427]

I`m so happy for him!😭Borislav deserved it so much!! Such a great talent!!

[@Fearonus]

600 hours played, the music is a real part of me now. So happy for this beautiful person, he deserves more.

[@respectedcourtjester]

can't express how happy I am for Borislav. His score is a phenomenal achievement and this recognition is so well deserved!!!! What an incredible person and composer

[@AH-qi2ug]

Divinity OS2 had an amazing soundtrack and so does Baldur's Gate 3! I'm so glad to see his vision and musical storytelling being recognised! You only hear the music when it stops - that's how you know you can't do without it 💯👏

[@khnuxsora]

SO PROUD TO BE A BULGARIAN RIGHT NOW!!!⚪🟢🔴

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

Gonna listen to the soundtrack right after this wholesome moment, congratulations, Borislav!

[@meliannhawke3318]

So, so well deserved. ❤ I wish there was a way to express the admiration and adoration in my heart for Borislav and his music other than a voiceless comment on KZbin, but it's great that we even have this. So - thank you and congratulations from the bottom of my heart. ❤ And PS: I needed him and this music to win an award, for my own inner peace of mind and heart's contend!

[@nevar23]

I'm so happy that he got the recognition he deserves!

[@josem138]

what a great man, and it is so great to see him so excited. I can feel his emotions

[@FBarbarian]

The music is Baldur's Gate 3, as well as the music in both Divinity Original Sin games is gorgeous. I still listen to Lohse's song sometimes. Благодаря за вложените чувство и майсторство. Страхотни сте!

[@Semand87]

Absolutely deserved, this OST is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard.

[@chadeus5480]

Im really happy for Borislav Slavov. I already fell in love with the music of Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 had so many iconic pieces, that will live rent free in my head forever. I'm happy that the BAFTA awards acknowledges the amount of genius and creativity that went into the music. Thanks BAFTA and thanks Boris for your great work.

[@Clover_2L]

A musical genius and he was so adorable and wonderful in this speech, god bless him, I'm very happy for him

[@ninak.8966]

Borislav's music is so wonderful, I'm really happy for him to receive the award!! DOS2 and BG3 soundtracks are masterpieces, so full of life and love and beauty of the soul! Congratulations!!

[@alexvanooteghem9654]

Very well deserved, love you Bobby!

[@EvolvedFinch]

I listen to the Legacy of Baahl every time I’m in the car and it only ever gets better. Thank you Mr. Slavov and if you ever see this message know that I heard the piece of your heart in every melody from BG3 and know as well that you are not alone down by that river.

[@ethron80]

This award is totally deserved! Borislav Slavov's music has accompanied me for many months and even today, listening to his notes brings tears to my eyes. Thank you to the BAFTA Games Awards for recognizing the talent of this magnificent human being. Baldur's Gate 3 was a therapy for me that accompanied me through difficult times in my life. And the music of Borislav Slavov too. I'm looking forward to May 4th :)

[@MerilAoth]

I was wainting for this for so long... he deserves it so hard... ♥

[@undertonebg]

Absolutely deserved. I've been listening to soundtracks for movies, series, games for over 20 years and Baldur's Gate 3 is truly one of the best. Mesmerizing. Thank you Borislav and crew for making this beautiful soundtrack.

[@Cooperal]

Not a single man more deserving of this reward. Such a story behind it all too. For years now, ever since I played DoS2, his music has been one of those that I frequently come back to even if I am not currently playing the respective game.

[@pavelkrachunov6954]

This guy brought incredible emotions to me with his music and his speech. This is a very rare thing. Thank you Bobby! What you do is great inspiration for all musicians!

[@lylyj7896]

My God, he is so moved !!! 🥹❤️ His work IS SO AMAZING !! I love listening to BG3 OST !! SO WELL DESERVED !!!! CONGRATS ! 🎉

[@mandarinz69]

I adore this game, and the music is a huge part of why. Bobby created something very very special ❤

[@andonfilipov4145]

Браво на нашето момче! 🎉🎉

[@reznet2]

His music was strange in a GREAT way: it sounded familiar like the fantasy I grew up with but fresh and emotional. Easily one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, bravo!!

[@benjammin5252]

The song I want to live, I listened to it through out the game and it grew on me the classical version in act 3. When they finally used it towards the end, I burst into tears. Such a beautiful song. Thank you for leaving that piece of your heart to us as well!

[@quentinmcsloth240]

YES finally. It's about time this man got an award for the stunning work he's been doing. Well deserved 🙌🏻 this makes me so happy right now 🥰

[@ArtemArchibaldi]

[@erilinapolly]

[@yordandimitrov2311]

a truly great artist, really deserved it, I'm so glad for him and his team

[@vinnieven2295]

Congratulations!!!

[@bigiron1990]

I love when somebody cant contain thier love for thier passion and yet still remain humble. The Mind Flayer Theme is so Iconic to me. It reminds me of The imperial March.

[@amandarachels]

I’m so happy Bobby won. I’m going to treasure the music probably for the rest of my life. ❤

[@rin7564]

Its about time!!!!! Congratulations Borislav!! Much love from the fan base, you so rightly deserve this! Your music is magical and such a treasure for all of us who enjoy your masterpieces 💖

[@wayne3212]

So happy for him! Congrats Bobby!

[@denitsatsoneva8453]

Well deserved! We are very proud of you!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@Proximity94]

Congrats man! So emotional.

[@Tinylovevvitch]

Borislav is an amazing composer. I loved the soundtrack from Divinity 2 and all of Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s amazing how he can tell a story with his songs through the characters and give it “life”. Music makes me feel the story that much more and I really appreciate his collaboration in these games.

[@tomrowell1558]

Congrats Borislav! So well deserved

[@The-Urban-Goose]

I can't stop vibing to the music whenever I play BG3, every single piece of music in that game is absolutely sublime.

[@VampyressVA]

Gooo Bobby Slavov!!

[@GoOtS100]

If you want a great game you need great music to go along with it

[@George_M_]

I thought DOS2 was his best work but BG3 has some really amazing tracks - Raphael, all the Durge related stuff, the weirder combat tracks.. a well deserved win and probably one of the most heart felt award speeches

[@ninethreefivesix]

So well deserved! I'm so happy for him and Larian

[@heyokah]

It is about damn time that this genius, wonderful man, got the recognition he so duly deserves. Raphael's Final Act is simply the zenith of musical composition in virtually any medium. The attention to detail given to the plot devices and having it all be so resounding during the experience in which it occurs is simply extraordinary. His entire music score is a masterclass in evoking an emotional response. "Requiem For a Dream" by Clint Mansell is the only😮 song that compares. Borislav, you are not only deserving of the award, but you have set the bar so high that many wings will falter and melt in the attempt to even approach the artistry that you gifted us silly gamers. Thank you, sir.

[@izabodzon9173]

Finally! Borislav is a wonderful artist, fingers crossed for him.

[@yuliaryzh4038]

bought a copy of the vinyl the second it was announced. outstanding work.

[@Domaik_]

he's amazing! he did so well on the game and on stage, I'd break down with all that pressure and attention. Boris you're amazing!

[@John-ql7ng]

It‘s all about that you put your heart in it.

[@NotThatJojjo]

I love this man so much, great person, fantastic musician. Best soundtrack I've ever heard. Much love.

[@LolaC.Fenton]

My heart 🥺 such a beautiful soul

[@alexgeorge3846]

Guys, dont forget: This great man and artist create the music for Knights of Honor!

[@isopod666]

Well deserved, well deserved

[@hulaguhan7702]

❤ Well deserved ❤

[@wrafalko]

So incredibly overdue. The soundtracks of DoS2 and BG3 are two of the best ever made. Looking forward to what comes next!

[@immortaljanus]

That moment when an artist who was invisible their entire life suddenly gets attention of so many people.... I can't imagine.

[@zazusphonetips6310]

Great music!!!

[@lyubery]

such a talent, you are above the clouds guys, i preorder the game 4 years ago only for the soundtrack the best 50 pounds spend in my live, well deserved guys ❤❤❤

[@jackjager8790]

Cunning Cruel Crits Congrats!

[@alyasya8226]

He's crying and I'm crying. Congratulations, Borislav!
