As an enthusiastic esports fan, I couldn’t help but share my thoughts on our recent partnership. Ralf Reichert, the CEO of Esports World Cup Foundation, emphasized the impressive operations and expertise that EFG brings to the table.
“Reichert stated that the Esports World Cup offers unparalleled competition on a global level, entertaining over 3.4 billion gamers worldwide with an extraordinary show. This event also presents players with substantial cash prizes that could transform their lives and declares the inaugural Club Champion.”

Esports World Cup 2024
The first-ever Esports World Cup began in early July, and it’s set to end in late August. Among the games showcased so far are Overwatch 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Street Fighter 6, and many others.
Back in 2024, I was thrilled to witness EFG organizing qualifying events worldwide. With our long-term alliance, EFG is set to merge Esports World Cup championships seamlessly into DreamHack, ESL, and FACEIT platforms. This collaboration promises an unparalleled esports experience for fans like me!
