Byadmin

The Esports World Cup 2025 is making headlines for all the right reasons. With a jaw-dropping $70 million prize pool, this global tournament is now the biggest in the history of competitive gaming.

Organized by the Esports World Cup Foundation, the event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 7 to August 24, 2025. It’s not just about big money — it’s about big names, big matches, and global unity through gaming.

Here’s everything you need to know, explained simply by Mobile Gaming for our Indian readers.

The Biggest Prize Pool Ever

Yes, you read that right. The $70 million (₹580 crore approx.) prize pool is the largest ever in esports history. This amount beats last year’s $60 million record.

Out of this total, a large chunk is not just for individual players but also for top esports clubs. This move is aimed at supporting teams and helping them grow stronger and more stable, not just for one event but long-term.

25 Tournaments – One Grand Event

The Esports World Cup 2025 will feature 25 tournaments across 24 games. This includes a mix of mobile, console, and PC games:

  • League of Legends
  • Dota 2
  • Counter-Strike 2
  • PUBG Mobile
  • Valorant
  • Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
  • Call of Duty
  • EA Sports FC 25
  • Even online chess and more!

This wide selection means there’s something for every kind of gamer and fan.

India at the World Cup – All Eyes on S8UL

For Indian gaming fans, the biggest moment is the selection of S8UL Esports to represent India. S8UL is one of the most successful esports organizations in the country, with achievements in games like BGMI, Pokémon Unite, and Valorant.

With their selection among the top 30 global clubs, S8UL will be flying the Indian flag high in Riyadh. Fans across India are hoping for a strong performance and maybe even a podium finish.

Global Viewership & Indian Audience

Last year, over 500 million people worldwide watched the Esports World Cup. Out of that, more than 10 million were from India alone.

With the rise of gaming content on YouTube, Loco, and Twitch, this number is expected to grow even more in 2025. The event will be live-streamed globally with Hindi and regional commentary to make it easier for Indian viewers to connect.

Club Championship and MVP Awards

What makes this World Cup different is not just the money but also the Club Championship. Teams will not only compete in one game but across multiple games. Points will be awarded based on overall performance.

On top of that, MVP (Most Valuable Player) awards will be given in each game category. These awards will help young talents shine on the world stage — and many Indian players are hopeful.
