Riyadh's Boulevard City is transformed into a gaming hub for seven weeks, hosting a festival atmosphere for fans and elite players. Approximately 2000 competitors from over 100 countries will engage in various esports competitions, ranging from first-person shooters to mobile multiplayer games. Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, emphasizes the unprecedented scale of the tournament and its future potential. Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan of the Saudi Esports Federation highlights gaming's ability to unite people beyond personal attributes. Cristiano Ronaldo and Post Malone add star power to the event.
"It's the sheer scale that's unheard of. Esports is just at the start of its tenure and it's there to grow to become one of the biggest sports in the world in the next decades."
"One of the most spectacular things about gaming is your first initiation to someone, your first meeting of someone, is not who they are as a colour, skin, religion, background, race, gender. It is an avatar in the game and therefore their skill."
