We are now halfway through the 2023 edition of the Gamers8 festival. Keep track of all the esports tournament winners, the complete results, and the club ranking with our coverage hub.
Until the end of August, the Saudi capital of Riyadh will be hosting a series of elite-level esports tournaments with some of the best players in the world. Gamers8, the gaming and esports festival organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, is back for its second edition, dubbed ‘The Land of Heroes’.
Gamers8 2023 promises to be much bigger than the inaugural festival last year. Not only will there be many more esports tournaments, but the total prize purse has tripled to a whopping $45 million. This is, according to the organizers, the biggest prize purse in esports history.
Below, you can find all the tournament winners and information about each competition’s full schedule and results. You will also find the Gamers8 club ranking, which will see the best-performing multi-gaming club earn $1.5 million.
In addition to the tournaments’ prize purses, Gamers8 will offer $5 million to the top-performing esports organizations at the festival. This fund will reward cross-title performance in an effort to determine “the best and most successful multi-gaming club in the world”.
According to the Saudi Esports Federation, this initiative aims to encourage investment in the esports industry and collaboration between organizations, players and publishers. And it seems to be paying off, as seen on July 6, when FaZe entered the fighting game scene with a pair of Tekken players who are competing in Riyadh.
Gamers8 will use a points-based system to determine the festival’s most successful organizations. Once all tournaments are over and the points have been tallied, the Gamers8 Club Awards will pay homage to the industry’s best organizations.
