Get your game faces on, because the ultimate gaming showdown is back! Gamers8 is making a comeback this summer, and it’s packing a punch. With eight weeks of non-stop esports and gaming action, this is the place to be for all avid gamers out there. Last year’s event in Riyadh saw more than 1.4 million people come together for some serious gaming, and this year’s tournament promises to be even bigger and better.
Massive Prize Pool
The tournament boasts a massive $30 million prize pool, and Dota 2 is set to take home the largest slice of the pie. But that’s not all; a $1 million CSGO tournament is also on the cards, making Gamers8 one of the hottest spots for esports enthusiasts this summer. Rainbow Six, Rocket League, and PUBG took centre stage at the last event, but this year’s lineup promises to be even more impressive.
Gamers8 is part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious plan to become a major player in the esports industry, and it’s already off to a fantastic start. The last event was a resounding success, and this year’s tournament is being dubbed ‘The Land of Heroes’. With a $15 million Dota 2 tournament and a $1 million CSGO event confirmed so far, the excitement is palpable. And who knows what other tournaments will be announced as the event draws closer?
Gamers8 is not just about gaming; it’s a full-blown extravaganza that promises something for everyone. From live music performances to family-friendly activities and educational events, this is the ultimate gaming festival. Plus, high-profile partnerships with the likes of Razer are adding even more hype to the event.
Controversy
Of course, not everyone is on board with Gamers8. Moist Esports, for example, has announced a boycott of the tournament due to the Saudi Arabian government’s stance on the LGBTQ+ community. However, for those who do choose to attend, this promises to be an unforgettable experience.
So mark your calendars, folks; Gamers8 kicks off on July 6th and will run for eight weeks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It’s time to bring your A-game and show the world what you’re made of!
