the 9th
Esports World Championship.
Of course South Africa's national federation, Mind Sports South Africa, will be represented with its Protea Esports Team as sponsored by BOO! Surprising Media Solutions. A total of 36 countries, consisting of 328 athletes will travel to Busan, to compete in 3 official events. The events are League of Legends(LOL), Counter Strike : Global Offensive

The
9th
Esports World Championship Busan 2017, which will be held on 8th
to 12th November 2017.
All athletes and delegations will be present at the
tournament venue on the 8th
for the group drawing session, and the actual tournament begins on the 9th November 2017.
With 147 of the teams coming from Europe, and 134 from Asia, there is no doubt that the few African teams have got their work cut out for them as they take on the juggernauts. Details of participating athletes in each
event can be found on the official website of IeSF (www.ie-sf.org).
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.
