The first ever event hosted by IESF was the “IeSF Challenge” held in 2009. Since then, IESF has hosted 13 World Esports Championships and supported numerous regional qualifiers. The ultimate goal is to create more opportunities through bigger and better events each year!
This year IESF will be hosting its 14th World Championships in Bali, Indonesia in the beginning of December!
Here in Bali, with hot springs, ocean air, beautiful red and green heliconia flowers, and frangipani, the role of the elements is evident in everyday life.
Located in the beautiful Merusaka Nusa Dua Hotel , enveloped with the charm of Balinese culture, the 14th World Esports Championships will take place on four main stages; Earth, Ice, Fire, and Air, with each of them hosting at least one game title.
Starting with the national qualifiers, through the regionals phase, we are ending this fascinating journey known as the road to The World Esports Championships with a final event hosting 106 countries and 600+ players, some of them playing in the play-ins, while the winners of the regional competitions go through directly to the finals.
The 14th World Esports Championships event agenda will go as follows:
