ESL FACEIT Group announces ESL Saudi Challenge
Esports tournament organizer ESL FACEIT Group has announced the launch of the ESL Saudi Challenge, a tournament series open exclusively to gamers located in Saudi Arabia.
The inaugural tournament will see players from the country compete in Overwatch 2.
The tournament takes place from October 18th and runs until December 7th with open qualifications and a playoff phase. The grand finals will take place at Riyadh-based gaming venue VOV Gaming. In addition, the tournament will feature a $20,000 prize pool.
The ESL Saudi Challenge is the first time an ESL-branded tournament has taken place in Saudi Arabia. The tournament acts as an opportunity for local talent to showcase their skills ‘on a global stage’ with viewers from across the world tuning into the action.
Saudi Arabia has become a hotbed of activity for the Esports industry throughout 2024. In August, the Saudi Esports Federation and MOONTON Games signed an MoU to grow the industry in the country. The same month Korean Esports organization Gen.G announced plans to open a dedicated hub in Riyadh.
ESL FACEIT Group remains one of the largest Esports tournament organizers in the world. In October, it appointed Esports Engine Co-founder Adam Apicella as its Senior Vice President of Esports for North America.
