“The tournament is aimed to reflect the city’s commitment to raising the awareness of the digital and technology industries, while aligning with its strategy to educate gamers about the risks of potential cybercrime and ‘balanced gaming practices,’” the official release noted.
The event is being held in collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council as part of its broader efforts to host youth-centric events that cater to the city’s increasingly tech-savvy population.
Beyond the core esports competitions, attendees can also participate in a Hackathon and a game jam, reinforcing the tournament’s focus on innovation and skill development in gaming and technology.
