EWC Week 1 Highlights: 🎉What a start to the Esports World Cup! From an amazing Opening Ceremony to the event’s first trophy lifts, Week 1 had it all. 🏆🏆 We said let the games begin and they began! 🪖Team Falcons dominated the Call of Duty: Warzone game championship from start to finish. The Falcons’ trio of Biffle, Hisoka and MVP Shifty played up to their world-class pedigree, amassing a 100+ points lead in the Group Stage before overcoming Fnatic (2nd Place) and Twisted Minds (3rd Place) in the Finals. 🐐 No surprises on the surface, but actually if you are deep its big in League of Legends — T1, the reigning World Champions, defeated Top Esports 3-1 to set their key into the trophy. Led by standout performances from legendary mid-laner Faker, the game’s greatest player and tournament MVP, T1 once again outdueled a Chinese opponent on their way to Finals glory. Saying that they have been struggling this year, it was their chance to turn the momentum and they did! ✅With Call of Duty: Warzone and League of Legends in the books, here are the Club Championship standings going into Week 2! As you can see, Team Falcons and T1 are in pole position for the top prize, but there is a LOT of EWC left 🥇 The rankings will be our overarching narrative, culminating with the crowing end of august! 🏆 Team Falcons - 1060 (Call of Duty: Warzone Champs) 🥈 T1 Entertainment & Sports - 1000 (League of Legends Champs) 🥉 Fnatic - 660 🏅 Top Esports - 600 🏅 Twisted Minds - 350 🏅 Team Liquid - 335 🏅 G2 Esports - 275 🏅 Guild Esports - 200 🏅 Natus Vincere - 110 🏅 Team abWizz - 70 Personally, I was very excited to see League of Legends back at a major third party tournament. Watching Faker rule Summoner’s Rift on Ahri and Azir, two of his signature champions, was very special to witness. We did call it though, check out the video below — the GOAT surely turned the Boulevard into “Faker Street” 😂 🛣️ On to Week 2!!! #EWC2024 #EsportsWorldCop #Esports #Gaming #leagueoflegends #callofdutywarzone

The League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) Winter Split 2024 just started this weekend, and even though it’s only the first week, peak viewership records have already been shattered! What an impactful beginning for the European tournament! 🎉 During the first two days of the competition, three games have already surpassed 600 000 viewers. This is no coincidence, as it was also Karmine Corp’s first week in the LEC! After acquiring Astralis’ spot in the LEC at the end of year, KCorp has entered the league with a bang, bringing along a massive wave of support from their fans, as they went up against two massive orgs in their first two days: Fnatic and G2 Esports. According to esports data platform Esports Charts & Streams Charts, they hit a peak of 617 991 viewers while going up against FNC, shattering the previous record of 555 521 viewers set during LEC 2023 Winter Split’s playoff finals between G2 and MAD Lions. They then broke their own record the next day against G2, reaching 644,501 peak viewers, a 16% increase over the previous record! Given KCorp’s extremely loyal fanbase, known to make big waves online, combined with KCorp co-owner Kameto's co-streams and the LEC’s well established viewerbase, these records have room to be broken again in the coming weeks! Tonight, KCorp go up against MAD Lions KOI, and here’s to hoping it’s another exciting moment for fans! The rivalry between MAD Lions KOI's owner Ibai's community and the KCorp community is one that promises to bring sparks on stage and online! An incredible welcoming party for KCorp, as they have gone up against the three giants of the LEC stage in back to back days on their first week! LEC Winter Split 2024 certainly promises to be exciting and I can’t wait to see how Karmine Corp performs! The Blue Wall stands tall! 💙 #LEC #KCorp #Gaming #Esport

Olympic Esports to Become Standalone Event Like the Winter Olympics. I was thrilled to see the Olympic Esports is moving forward, but I have to say, the list of games could be much better! While I understand they need to start somewhere, some of the chosen games are very questionable. I hope they refine the list and include more relevant esports titles to attract a larger online audience. An expert advisor would be beneficial to ensure the selection appeals to esports fans. A Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) should be top of the list as that is filling stadiums already, DOTA 2 & LOL at the least! Including top-tier esports games, the Olympic Esports can attract a broad audience and establish itself as a premier event in the esports calendar. The games they have chosen are not ESports so this event could be catastrophic, like some kind of hellish cringey E3 on steroids. For instance, Gran Turismo is a decent choice, but Sim Racing is where the real excitement lies. Top drivers like Max Verstappen use Sim Racing for training, and there's a good chance you might have virtually raced against an F1 driver if you're playing Sim Racing. I do think including Chess is a fantastic idea, as it will attract a significant audience. To make this Olympic event more appealing and organized, I would suggest breaking it down into games with an estabished popularity, competitive scene and global reach. Here are some top contenders across various genres. First-Person Shooter (FPS).... Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS) Valorant Overwatch 2 Rainbow Six Siege Call of Duty: Warzone Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA).... League of Legends Dota 2 Battle Royale.... Fortnite PUBG Apex Legends Fighting Games.... Street Fighter V Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 11 Sports Simulations.... FIFA NBA 2K Strategy and Board Games.... Hearthstone StarCraft II Clash Royale Chess (Digital) Racing Games.... Rocket League Gran Turismo
