Jakarta, Indonesia, is poised to become the nexus of the esports universe as it gears up to host the World Cyber Games (WCG) 2024 Festival.
Orchestrated by the acclaimed Big Picture Interactive, this year’s festival is shaping up to be an unprecedented celebration, extending its reach beyond hardcore esports to embrace the wider gaming community.
Scheduled to unfold at the illustrious Indonesia Convention Exhibition from August 31st to September 2nd, the WCG 2024 Festival is more than just a gaming event—it’s a pivotal moment in the evolution of the WCG, an entity that has been at the heart of the esports realm since 2000. This edition aims to meld the competitive essence of esports with the dynamic culture of gaming influencers, offering a diverse array of activities that cater to all attendees.
A Festive Fusion of Competition and Culture
The festival’s lineup is brimming with excitement, from influencer activations and game launch announcements to a variety of offline activities. Highlighting the agenda are two major esports tournaments: the WCG Challenge and WCG Rivals. Beginning on March 21st in South Korea, the WCG Challenge will traverse several nations, showcasing influencers in a competitive light with a $100,000 prize pool.
Following the Challenge, the WCG Rivals tournament elevates the competition with a $120,000 prize pool, inviting the Challenge’s top talents to a new, exhilarating showdown. While the games for both tournaments are yet to be announced, past events have featured popular titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and VALORANT.
