“Last year my performance wasn’t good in Seoul [2019 Esports World Championship] as I lost in the pool stage. However, I have been working hard to win medal for the country at 2020 Esports World Championship. But to qualify for that, I have to give my best to win in National Qualifiers and Regional Qualifiers which won’t be easy this time,” Tejan, who has participated in over 100 tournaments so far in his 10-year career, said.
With the pandemic and its impact, the format of the World Championship has also been changed this year to adapt to the situation. The national champions will have to compete in the online regional qualifiers, which has been introduced, and the winners will secure place for themselves in the global finals in Eilat. The regional qualifiers will take place from 20 October to 20 November while the global finals will be held from 6 December to 12 December.
“It’s always a great feeling to represent your country at the global stage. Last national championship [2019] was really good for me also it was my first. My focus will be to continue that momentum and secure spot in World Championship,” said defending champion (PES) Amdani, who also finished runners-up at the Nations Cup in Bengaluru held on November 2019.
ESFI partners Alcis and Artsmith and will continue its support as the kit and communication partner respectively.
