eSport 2024: not-to-be-missed events

The digital age is well and truly upon us, and a number of fields, including sport, have made their mark. Today, eSport is a community in its own right, bringing together not only enthusiasts but also players from all walks of life. Every year, several eSport events are organised. And 2024 is no exception. In this article, discover some of the must-see eSport competitions in 2024.

The Valorant Champions Tour: a major eSport competition not to be missed

You've probably already heard of Valorant if you're a fan of tournaments and video games. It's an FPS or first-person shooter. During a game, two teams of 5 players are pitted against each other. In the course of the game, the attackers will have to compete with the defenders in order to place the 'Spike'.

For the next edition, the team at Riot Games, organisers of the competition, have announced a major change. As with the multi-stage tournaments organised by certain online casino sites, such as betFIRST, the Valorant Champions Tours will be divided into several phases, in this case two phases. The first stage, the Master Madrid, which took place in March, will be followed by the Valorant Masters Shanghai, which will be held in China in May.

The aim is to celebrate the arrival of the competition in China. At the same time, the organisers are keen to showcase Chinese teams and players, but also to ensure that the game is well represented at global level. No specific details have yet been provided about the transmission of the championship. However, it is certain that the tournament will be broadcast live on certain streaming platforms, such as Twitch and YouTube. As is often the case for this type of event.

The League Of Legends World Finals 2024: a truly professional tournament

The League of Legends World Championship is an annual tournament based on the game of the same name. Once again, the event is organised by Riot Games. It brings together the best teams from the major leagues. The competition is broadcast live on Twitch.

According to some sources, gamers will be able to watch the quarter-finals and semi-finals of Worlds 2024 at the Adidas Arena. This venue is located in the north of Paris, at Porte de la Chapelle. The competition will run from 17 October 2024 to 24 October 2024. Anyone wishing to attend will need to book in advance, as places are very limited.

Once the semi-final matches come to an end and the finalist teams are revealed, the grand final of the tournament will be held on 2 November 2024. It will be held at the O2 Arena in London. This is a major first, as it is the very first time that the British kingdom has hosted this championship.

The International 2024: Dota 2 in the spotlight

The International Dota 2 tournament is one of the must-see eSport events of 2024. This global event will kick off in September and run until October 2024. For this edition, the tournament has chosen Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, as its location.

It's a wise choice, given that Copenhagen's state-of-the-art infrastructure is ideal for hosting a competition of such renown. What's more, the city's high cultural profile and exemplary hospitality make it the perfect venue for such a major tournament.

Organised by the company Valve, the event will be divided into several matches centred on the group's favourite game: Dota 2. Like the previous events on this list, the Dota 2 International Tournament will also be broadcast on Twitch. Note that there will be no Battle Pass for this event. However, the game will include new options.
