eSports in India has been taking steady steps as it climbs the competitive ladder in the world of gaming. With not many big gaming events active in the country, players flock every big event that comes in to the scene.
Last year, the Taiwan Excellence gaming cup concluded at Infinity Mall, Malad with three teams taking home whopping amounts of cash in prizes. The game was Dota 2 (it will be the same this year too) which is one of the most popular multiplayer game in the country.
With two years of success in the Indian gaming scene, as promised last year, the event is coming back for its third edition and it promises a bigger thrill this time as the announcement on their website reads, “Taiwan Excellence gaming cup is back. Leave your fingers bleeding for more strategic and action packed adventure gaming carnival. If you thought last year was tough, you should probably quit right now. That’s right! We want the biggest, the baddest, the ‘I’m going to own you’ gamers on our platform as we kick in the Taiwan Excellence gaming cup this year. Will you claim the bragging rights?” It was accompanied by the hash tag #WarIsHere.
Last year’s tournament prize pool has also been exceeded this year as the first prize last year was Rs 170,000, which has been surged to Rs 200,000. Though the dates for the event are yet to be announced, the qualifier regions have also been extended to New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
With everything said, we hope this year’s event is as good as last year which saw sponsorship from various companies specialising in gaming gears. So, if you want to take part in the event, go ahead and register now.
