Esports World Cup

Considering the wide popularity of Esports, it should come as no surprise that the Esports World Cup2024 is one of the biggest events this year! The event, which brings new surprises every year, will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, starting on July 17th.

Adding to the excitement is the recent announcement of the biggest fighting game of the last year – Street Fighter 6!

The Street Fighter 6 tournament contributes to the diversity of genres. Although the Esports World Cup features all the major games, it does not boast many fighting games, so this one will be the one game that represents its genre.

Considering its popularity, it is not surprising that it was chosen for the event. It’s a significant acknowledgment by the Esports World Cup, highlighting the game’s importance within the Esports community.

While Street Fighter 6 will very likely not be the only fighting game at the event, it is still new to the World Cup, which reflects the organizers’ commitment to diverse and exciting gaming experiences for the audience.

The game has already been featured at a Gamers8 event in the past, which showed excellent results.

What do we know about the tournament?

The new tournament does not reveal many details at the moment. We don’t know about the prize pool yet, but it is expected to exceed all previous numbers.

Surely, we can expect some of the best Street Fighter 6 players to show up and show their skills. We still don’t know if it will be the only fighting game at the World Cup. The event has featured Tekken in the past, so we assume that at least that game will be part of it in the future.

What is certain is that fun is guaranteed – with exciting games, thrilling competitions and the best players in the world, there’s no doubt that enjoyment will be a key feature of the event.
