In a couple of hours, the most ambitious project in esports will start: the ESPORTS WORLD CUP will officially launch into 8 weeks of esports action, hosted in Riyadh. The EWC24 is 90% longer than the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games - combined! It's an unprecedented scale of esports operations, and the most extensive international sports tournament in the world in 2024. But explain what scaling up really means, let's get into the numbers for a moment - here is our expecations for the next weeks: 🎮 approx 1500 esports athletes & players 🕹 integrated into 2250+ representatives from esports clubs 🌍 from 100+ nationalities 📊 organized in 400+ game teams 🥇 competing in 22 game tournaments 🏆 for an overall $60M prize pool Compared to a one-game esports operations, this is 10x as busy as we would usually face. To ensure everyone feels welcomed, we upgraded our premium hospitality even further: 🛌 a double tower, 21-floor player hotel with a capacity of 866 rooms providing for both private rooms and the practice areas for all participating teams & players 🏛 not one, but 2 vibrant player lounges, providing first class hospitality - one of it being an entire theater! 💆♂️ physiotherapy and relaxation areas, to ensure rest and mental wellbeing 🍸 ☕ multiple coffee bars and a juice bar, keeping everyone stocked up on vitamins 🌴 25+ activites player can chose from to discover Riyadh and explore the city 🚘 dozens of premium shuttles, ensuring mobility for all participants 🤝 30+ dedicated player hospitality specialists from all over the world, providing support in different languages ... and last but not least these amazing welcome bags, including our very own "Dare to Triumph"-EWC4-jackets, highly costumizable with each players achievements and EWC identity, bringing together these very diverse game communities. Thinking back, where this community started 25 years ago: a coffee, a snack and some shaky hotel chairs to sit in playing our favorite games to win a store voucher, if we were lucky. What a journey it has been to arrive at this point, providing a hospitality standard that comfortably sits on the same level as the biggest sports events in the world ... My entire club & player relations team have worked over the last 8 months to make this a truly outstanding experience for what is at the heart of the EWC24 tournament product: the players and athletes! Thank you Qayser Sachdev Stella Park Magnus Hansson for your amazing work, and Ralf Reichert and Faisal Bin Homran for navigating us to this point with their leadership and vision. A big "GLHF!" to all participants. we are looking forward to 8 amazing weeks of esports action, starting .... today!
