Despite achieving impressive peak viewership for certain tournaments like 'Mobile Legends: Bang Bang,' the Esports World Cup faced challenges in meeting ambitious future goals.
CEO Ralf Reichert stated, 'KPIs are great; numbers are fantastic,' but he reiterated the need for improvement given the high production costs.
The organizers are highlighting tourism growth in Riyadh and asserting that the local government supports the Esports World Cup, as it grew 30% this year.
EWC's 'League of Legends' tournament had 1.1 million peak viewers but was overshadowed by other events, indicating competitive pressures within the esports landscape.
