World e-Sports Games
The World e-Sports Games were initially an international e-sports tournament that was held in Asia . Later, the focus was on hosting tournaments like the Seoul e-Stars and the World e-Sports Masters .
In 2004, the WEG appeared in public for the first time, they hosted a FIFA duel between China and South Korea , which, however, received no attention outside Asia.
The larger first tournament followed a year later and was considered revolutionary at the time: The World e-Sports Games 2005 attracted several hundred thousand US dollars in the disciplines Counter-Strike and Warcraft III . They made it necessary for the participants to stay in China for several weeks in order to play their games live in front of TV cameras. Many of the leading clans took up the challenge, including SK Gaming , Team NoA and mousesports . Initially, four seasons were planned in the first twelve months alone, but only three took place.
In 2006 there was only one single competition, the World e-Sports Games Masters 2006 . Since 2007, the company behind the WEG has primarily appeared through the annual organization of the e-Stars Seoul . At the end of 2008 the World e-Sports Masters 2008 were also held in Hangzhou . The WEG trademark will continue to be used as a distinguishing mark, although another tournament under the name World e-Sports Games seems unlikely.
World e-Sports Games 2005
Most of the WEG games were held in Seoul , only the respective finals took place in Beijing . The first season ran from January 30th to March 20th, 2005. A special feature was the participation of mousesports. The German clan was represented by a replacement team in the German ESL Pro Series during the WEG .
The second season was held from May 29th to July 3rd. The third season started on October 19th and ended on December 11th. It overlapped with various other renowned tournaments such as the World Cyber Games , which caused many potential participants to decline.
World e-Sports Games 2006
At the end of April, the only WEG 2006 tournament, the World e-Sports Games Masters , took place in Hangzhou . This time there was no protracted league phase, the tournament only took about two weeks. A total of US $ 152,000 in prize money was awarded.
World e-Sports Masters 2008
Another WEG event took place in Hangzhou from October 26th to November 2nd, with eight Counter-Strike and Warcraft III participants competing for US $ 100,000 in prize money. It is not known whether the World e-Sports Masters will continue in the following years.
e-stars
Since 2007, the WEG have been organizing an annual esports festival in Seoul. Among other things, this consists of an exclusive competition called e-Stars, which is limited to a few participants . Instead of a classic tournament system, new models are being experimented with: in 2008 there was a duel between East and West (Asia versus Europe / USA), and in 2009 both a continental and a global tournament took place.
