Last year the local qualifiers in Israel for the grand final event in Korea were made within “Hod-Hasharon e-Sport Championship”. This event was cooperation between Hod-Hasha- ron city between Hod-Hasharon city and the IeSA, and was the first cooperation between a local city in Israel that support and sponsor an e-Sport event.
The event was a big success, and therefore Hod-Hasharon city announced that it would like to host the event for 2011 as well. The event will take place in the city in the end of august, and it will include the grand final of the Israeli e-Sport championship for FIFA Online 2 and SC2.
As the Israeli team came back from last event, a presentation was made and sent to the Israeli sports office which included details about the Israeli team accomplishments and the accepting of the IeSA as a member in the IeSF. Officials from the minister sports office has updated that they are waiting for the IeSF to be a member of GEISF and then it will be much easier to recognize e-Sport in the country as an official sport.
