Sport Singapore has promised that it will usher more e-sports events into the nation.
The International Invitational, a world-class esports tournament, is about to take place in Singapore and has created major buzz given that it is a multi-million dollar annual event. This year, players of the eSports game Dota 2 can try on their favorite team’s jerseys in pop-up brick-and-mortar stores around the island.
The tournament is open to both Singaporeans and foreigners who are planning to visit Singapore just to participate in the event.
A spokesman for SportSG said a share of the burgeoning esports sector would help the country become a top venue for sporting events.
The spokesperson added that the sports council is always looking for activities that would enhance Singapore’s social and sporting economic outcomes. He added that the authority will cooperate with different organizers to bring sports events back to Singapore, following the pandemic.
