Some of these competitions have already started (Rocket League, eFootball), while for others, everyone still has the opportunity to apply.
Booking the Ticket to 2022 WE Championships and Commonwealth Games
The fact is that the popularity of esports has skyrocketed over the last couple of years. One piece of evidence is that the esports betting market is estimated to be around $66 billion in 2022.
Further, there’s a study suggesting that there are nearly 600 million people worldwide who take part in esports tournaments (either professional or amateur) on a regular basis. Knowing all this, it’s no surprise that major sports organizations have decided to jump on the esports bandwagon.
One of those is the Commonwealth Games, which will include an esports championship in its 2022 event. The Commonwealth Esports Championships will take place at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham, UK, on August 6-7, 2022.
Wales will have their representatives in the event, with the team captain being John Jackson a.k.a. SlayerJohn, the CEO of Esports Wales.
Jackson is the man tasked with picking the national team of esports players who will represent Wales at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Although he will have the right to choose the players on his own accord, the Esports Wales boss plans to let them battle for a spot in the team in Welsh Masters.
