The World Esports Cup has seen an overwhelmingly positive response from the global gaming community. In fact, 1.2 million people registered for the event from India, Pakistan, and Nepal.
“It’s heartening to see such a massive response not just from India but also from Pakistan and Nepal for this tournament. While we launched WEC ’21, we strongly felt there was a need to create a platform where gamers and esports athletes of the region come together and compete and help each other professionally as well as financially, and these whooping registration numbers only have validated our beliefs,” said Mr. Vishwalok Nath, Director, World Esports Cup. “Our goal is to become a single opportunity point where every gamer, wanting to compete, can find an opportunity of his or her choice. In WEC ’21, based on the registrations received, the competitive age category pans from 13 years to 25+ and our motive will be to ensure talents don’t go unnoticed whether they come from a small city or a big one,” Nath further added.
The registration phase of the tournament ran from October to November. Most of the registrations from the three countries came from people between the ages of 17 and 20.
The World Esports Cup is a three-month-long video game tournament series centered around the hit title Garena Free Fire. The last 2021 World Esports Cup country finals matches will take place on January 6th and 7th.
