The Esports World Cup sees 21 games hosting major tournaments and features the largest-ever prize pool in esports ($60m). The event takes place throughout July and August in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe first round of competitions finished over the last weekend, with the League of Legends tournament recording an impressive viewership figure of over 1m peak viewers. <\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAccording to Mentos and the EWC Foundation, the partnership aims to focus on relaxation and “keeping playtime fresh while maintaining a joyful and positive atmosphere.” Moreover, the mint brand has noted that the deal continues its investment into gaming communities and young audiences in the MENA region.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nDespite the event securing a range of commercial partners such as Amazon, adidas<\/a>, TikTok<\/a> and Pepsi<\/a>, the Esports World Cup has attracted controversy due to its close connection to the Saudi Arabian government. This is largely due to the country’s human rights record<\/a>, particularly towards LGBTQ+ communities and Women’s rights. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nMilad Rouhana, Managing Director Perfetti Van Melle EMEA, <\/strong>commented: “Our collaboration with the Esports World Cup is a fantastic way to engage authentically with the esports community, highlighting the importance of reducing stress at all levels of competition. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n“We\u2019re excited to support the best esports athletes in the MEA region while creating genuine in-person touch points for fans at the festival.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
