WCG (World Cyber Games), or the game Olympics as some call it, is the tournament that began in 2000, giving birth to the world’s greatest eSports star “Moon” (JangJayHo) and others. Unfortunately, WCG, which had been cheered on by millions of gamers, was discontinued in 2013. However, after a 6 year gap, the event world eSports fans have been waiting for will finally return in 2019.

 

WCG is an eSports competition for nations to compete with one another. In 2000 with the support of Samsung Electronics, WCG provided the gateway for gamers to become pro, and provided for others the spectacle of watching top-tier games between legends. Beginning with StarCraft, a variety of titles were chosen for competition until recently, regardless of genre, such as popular titles such as DOTA 2 and Counterstrike. Then, much to the disappointment of gamers, 2013 marked the end of WCG’s short life.

 

However, under the new slogan “BEYOND THE GAME, MORE THAN SPORTS” WCG 2019 has returned with new international gamers. From July 18^th to the 21^st, WCG will share not only eSports, but new technology, a music festival, TED talks, conferences and more in Xi’an, China.

 

WCG 2019 Xi’an has 6 official titles.

 

 

WCG MASTERS will progress with the target of global gamers. Preliminaries will proceed online beginning in March and from May athletes from each country will be chosen to represent their countries through offline qualifiers. There will be 4 titles to qualify for: DOTA 2, Warcraft 3, Hearthstone, and Clash Royale.

 

WCG PREMIER will be restricted to Chinese gamers. From April online preliminaries will begin and from June the representative players will be selected through offline qualifiers.

 

This competition is also excited to host the “All-Star Invitational” for the globally popular mobile game “Clash Royale” where the 2019 season 1 pro league champions will be invited.

 

The regional qualifiers for Asian, European, and American gamers will be on the Battlefy platform, and the Chinese qualifiers will be held through the Varena platform. Applications for attending the qualifiers began March 12^th, and many gamers have already been accepted.
