The 2022 World Esports Championship took place in Bali, Indonesia, and featured over 600 athletes from 105 countries.
It received over 34 million views across social platforms Twitch and YouTube with nearly 500 hours streamed.
The next edition of the World Esports Championship will take place this year in Iași, Romania, from August 24 to September 4, with a record 120 countries expected to participate.
Vlad Marinescu, who was re-elected as IESF president last December, said: “We look forward to exploring the potential hosts to be the next esports capitals of the world.
