The Esports World Cup, an ongoing multi-title esports event organized by the Esports World Cup Foundation, has officially launched a mobile app aimed at enhancing the fan experience during the tournament. The app is designed to keep fans engaged and informed as they follow the action taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Features of the New Mobile App
The newly introduced app provides a range of features that cater to both on-site attendees and those watching from home. Fans can now check live tournament scores and watch events currently in progress. The app also includes a comprehensive overview of the tournament schedule, ensuring that users remain updated on upcoming matches.
In addition to live streaming capabilities, the app allows fans to purchase tickets for the remaining competitions, making it easier for them to participate in the excitement of the Esports World Cup. The tournament, which began in July, spans eight weeks and features popular titles such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, Street Fighter 6, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. With a total prize pool of $60 million (~£46.9 million) distributed across 21 tournaments, the event is set to be a highlight in the esports calendar.
Acknowledging Success and Future Prospects
Thamer Alshuaibi, Chief Admin Officer of the Esports World Cup Foundation, commented on the app’s launch, stating, “The Esports World Cup has been an unparalleled success, with the best clubs featuring the best players producing matches in elite, must-watch tournaments that have captivated gamers across the globe.” He further emphasized the app’s importance, noting that it has quickly become the go-to source for event news and updates for attendees and gamers worldwide.
The Esports World Cup Foundation is backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, which has led to some criticism from teams and industry stakeholders due to concerns regarding Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. Despite this, the event has attracted significant viewership, with the League of Legends tournament achieving over one million peak viewers and the Overwatch 2 event peaking at 100,000 viewers.
The Future of Esports
As the Esports World Cup continues, the introduction of the mobile app is expected to enhance the overall experience for fans and participants alike. With the tournament still in full swing, the app will play a crucial role in keeping audiences engaged and informed about the latest developments.
The Esports World Cup not only showcases top-tier esports talent but also highlights the growing popularity and influence of esports on a global scale. As the event progresses, the combination of live competitions, a robust prize pool, and innovative technology like the new mobile app positions the Esports World Cup as a key player in the future of competitive gaming.
With the ongoing success of the tournament and the positive reception of the mobile app, the Esports World Cup Foundation is poised to continue its mission of elevating the esports experience for fans around the world.
