Despite going up against some of the world’s finest players, with 328 national delegations from 36 countries represented, Macau reached the final 16 in Tekken 7 and the final eight in League of Legends – a remarkable result for the tiny Chinese enclave. In the end it was only the might of host nation South Korea – who eliminated Macau in both disciplines and were crowned overall champions for the seventh time – that halted their run. “We are very happy with the results achieved by Macau in the eSports World Championship this year,” said Fernando Pereira, President of Grow uP eSports. “We were able to secure multiple victories while losing only against the Koreans who are known for being the worldʼs best.” “We hope to increase our competitiveness and that next year we will see an increased participation among Macau youth as well as attracting even more support for our athletes.” The eSports World Championships, first held in 2009, is the only international eSports competition based on nationality.
