About ESC

The ESL Saudi Challenge, a new venture by EFG, is designed exclusively for the Saudi esports community. Its mission is to ignite the growth of esports in the region and empower local players to compete on the global stage.

Kicking off with Overwatch 2 as the featured game, ESC is set to make waves!

The qualifiers will consist of three open tournaments on the Faceit platform, where the top three teams from each tournament will earn their spot in the Playoffs, joining two invited teams in an epic showdown.

The Finals will feature a thrilling double-elimination bracket, with live coverage from Saudi Arabia’s top esports talent, streamed on ESL channels. The two final games will be played live during the offline Season Finals at VOV Gaming in Riyadh!
