I can say with near certainty that the only reasons it's got the nomination are:
1. "Crossover Hype"
2. WB providing... "contributions"
I think it has a lot of potential, but as FazDude said, being in open beta is a weird way to run it - and a small part of me feels like they could have reacted better to the early leaks that resulted in the game launching as early as it did in the first place. There's a lot of weird decisions going on with the game, and whilst it's by no means terrible, it could be better. (Not that I could do much better though!)

knowing how game award shows go though, wb probably paid for the slot
