The event, which took place at the SEF Arena in BLVD Riyadh City, showcased top-tier competitive gaming. Minbappe from Malaysia emerged victorious in the mobile category, while the console division saw impressive wins from Indonesian players BINONGBOYS, SHNKS-ELGA, GARUDAFRANC, and akbarpaudie.

The tournament's high production values were evident, reflecting the significant investment in esports from Saudi Arabia, especially notable as it coincides with the launch of the Esports World Cup.
