There is (some) method to the International Olympic Committee’s madness
First reported by the folk over at VGC, qualification for the Olympic Esports 2023 Series has now begun.
Announced by the Internal Olympics Committee, the 2023 series of events will feature nine different virtual sports to participate in, all in collaboration with International Federations and game publishers.
Qualification for the Olympic Esports 2023 starts from today, with both professional and amateur players of each game globally being invited to take part. Qualification concludes on 15 May 2023, with the finals going ahead on 23-25 June 2023 in Singapore.
Congratulations to us! Games have now been recognised as a ‘real’ sport by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the organisation have announced that qualifications begin today for their Olympics Esports Series 2023. The IOC say “the four day-festival will showcase the very best of virtual sports,” featuring esports titans such as Just Dance and Zwift.
