IeSF's Esports World Championship is the only international esports competition based on nationality. 

The host city is chosen each year through the official “Host City Bidding Process” where the bid documents is distributed and open to all cities willing to host the event. As the official signatory of WADA, IeSF has been practicing doping tests in all its events, while also promoting and acknowledge clean sports.

The previous Esport World Championship hosted in Jakarta, Indonesia, was more competitive than ever before. Each title was won by a different nation. 

In 2016, Austria won Hearthstone, Finland won CS:GO, and South Korea won LOL. 

With more nations participating in 2017 at IeSF's 9th Esports World Championships in Busan, the level of competition is expected to be even higher.
