Game titles are the heart of each era, the players who shaped it, and the communities that rallied behind them.
Since 2009, the World Esports Championship has featured a wide range of titles that represent the global spirit of competitive gaming. From classic strategy and sports games to modern MOBAs and FPS powerhouses, the WEC has grown alongside the industry itself.
Over the years, a total of 19 different game titles have been part of WEC, each selected to represent the diversity and evolution of esports culture across the globe. From the early days of Warcraft III, FIFA Online 2, and A.V.A., to today’s global favorites like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PUBG Mobile, and eFootball™, each game brought a new community, a new story, and a new legacy.
The rise of StarCraft II in the 2010s introduced high-level 1v1 strategy battles, while Counter-Strike made its mark with intense FPS rivalries. Soon after, the growing global demand for team-based strategy led to the addition of MOBAs like Dota 2, and eventually Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) — one of the most-watched and played titles in Southeast Asia.
What makes WEC unique is its commitment to adapting with the times. The inclusion of mobile titles like PUBG Mobile and eFootball™ reflects not just trends, but real shifts in how people around the world play and connect through games. Every title brought into the WEC lineup was chosen to give athletes across all regions a chance to shine.
