Set to take place in Riyadh later this year, the Esports World Cup 2025 is shaping up to be the biggest esports event in history. With an unprecedented prize pool and a stacked lineup of global teams, the tournament promises to be nothing short of legendary. Last year’s edition saw over 1,500 players from 200 teams competing for a jaw-dropping $60 million (INR 500 Crore) prize pool, attracting a global audience of 500 million viewers—including 10.5 million viewers from India.
