The event was played for 4 million Naira and the best players competed for the coveted prize money. In addition, you could claim the first items with the Gamerspass and pick them up and receive them directly. 🤳 #Esports in Nigeria is growing and this was another demonstration of the market seeking out great tournaments, competition and spotlight.

The wait is over, for the first time in Bangladesh, the National Qualifier for PUBG Mobile is set to take place for the World Esports Championship. The event will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where champion teams from around the world will represent their countries. This tournament, hosted by IESF, has been organized for many years now. To understand IESF in simpler terms, we can compare it to the ICC in sports. The International Esports Federation (IESF) organizes the World Esports Championship, and Bangladesh has been participating in this tournament for many years, but this is the first time for PUBG Mobile. Let's learn about how the WEC24 qualifying system works. Essentially, PUBGM teams will participate in the National Qualifier through open registration. Then, through various online qualifiers, the top Bangladeshi team will advance to the next stage, qualifying for the Asia Regional, which could be an offline event. There, 32 teams will compete in group stages, and the top 4-6 teams from Asia will qualify for the main event, WEC24, in Saudi Arabia. Some may wonder, those who have witnessed the Bangladesh Road to IESF tournaments know that all final rounds were held offline. This time, for other games as well, the finals will be held offline. However, since PUBGM is restricted in Bangladesh, our National Qualifier will be held online. In the current scenario, this presents a significant opportunity for Bangladeshi teams in PUBG Mobile, as when your team qualifies, it won't carry the team name, but will directly represent Bangladesh, similar to what happens in Asian Games or other national tournaments. You will represent your country and if successful, in the near future, there will definitely be more national tournaments in PUBGM. If this continues, the role of PUBGM will undoubtedly rise. Prepare your team to present yourselves nationally. For this event, our official media partner is ESNBD. Rely only on information from these two sources and avoid confusion from other sources, as there might be a lot of misinformation shared due to PUBGM being relatively new in Bangladesh. #ESNBD #WorldEsports #riyadh2024 #WEC24 #IESF #BYDESA #bdesports #esports

Olympics Esports is now a thing. On Wednesday, July 24, the International Olympics Committee(IOC) unanimously voted to create the Olympic Esports Games, dedicated to video game competitions. The first edition of the games will be held in Saudi Arabia in 2025, with the games scheduled to be held every two years in between the Summer and Winter Olympics. The Esports Games will feature a variety of virtual sports and games, with an expected focus on those that are not violent. The IOC has been dabbling with esports since 2018, holding the first Olympics Esports Week in Singapore in 2023. Esports have been gaining traction in recent years, with seven games becoming official medal events at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, for the first time. However, the esports initiative has been met with criticism as the IOC is collaborating with Saudi Arabia, which ranked 127th out of 144 countries in the 2022 Global Gender Gap Report by the World Economic Forum. There have also been accusations of Saudi Arabia “sports washing” by investing in sporting related events, teams or players to divert attention from its human rights violations. #world #news #sports #esports #olympics #saudiarabia #winterolympics

The growth of esports is most striking in Asia, particularly in China, which has recognized esports as an official sport since 2003 and included it as a medal sport in the 2023 Asian Games. However, the industry's rapid development has outpaced the laws designed to regulate it, leading to unique legal challenges. #eSports #SportsLaw #SportingLinks

🔷 As part of #IntegriSport3 project, co-financed by the European Union, ULIS delivered a training session in Estonia. This special session, organized by the CSCF - Sport Integrity Group and the Estonian Center for Integrity in Sports (ESTCIS), was dedicated to raising awareness about integrity issues in esports. 🎮 Esports betting has experienced a significant surge in recent years, propelled by the booming online gaming industry. Due to its unique characteristics, competition manipulation in esports presents its own set of challenges compared to traditional sports. 🕹 ULIS has developed a tailor-made curriculum to address esports betting and monitoring. “We wanted to show how esports betting differs from traditional sports betting, and how this affects the monitoring of esports competitions. Virtual garments and accessories for example, known as skins, hold value in the esports world to the extent that they can be misused as compensation for players to manipulate esports competitions” said ULIS Project Manager, Cristina Swan. 🌟 The event brought together police officials from across Estonia, prosecution and judicial officers, as well as representatives from the Estonian sports, esports and betting sectors. #SafeguardingIntegrity #Esports #monitoring #CompetitionManipulation #lotteries

Here are the latest viewership insights from the #EsportsWorldCup Weeks 2/3: 🔹 Counter Strike - skin drops didn't help Generally, it was a great idea to giveaway CS skins to viewers after a multi-year pause, but the implementation and marketing were pretty weak, and it had no impact on viewership. Just a stats example, only 4% (of active Twitch viewers) used !drop in chat during the final match.  Matches up to the final showed average audience interest, and some matches showed quite low results over the last 4 years (e.g. NAVI/FURIA). But 756K in the final, that's pretty close to early predictions. As a result, CS after 3 weeks of EWC has the highest peak on English and on Twitch compared to all past tournaments. 🔹 Dota 2 (Riyadh Masters) - overall no surprises 86% of the peak 419K is EN+RU, as in other #DOTA2 tournaments here is strongly influenced by the co-streaming or the presence of ru-teams in the finals. #RiyadhMasters gathered quite its possible peak audience. 🔹 Free Fire - TOP-2 event in last 2 years I predicted that this would be the closest to a 500K Peak Viewers game. Only in my case, 500K+, and the game has 471K :) After the hype during COVID, although the game has lost a lot of its esports audience, it's holding up quite well. The event has the 3rd highest peak since 2022, and the 2nd since 2023. Brazil's #FFWS is likely to exceed this peak in November, perhaps even exceeding the 2023 peak (570K). PUBG Mobile and Women's MLBB this week, and there's a chance the MLBB event could reach over 1 million Peak Viewers if the Indonesian team moves up to the final matches. #imho #CounterStrike #FreeFire #EWC2024 #MLBB #MobileLegends #MWI #PMWC
