Esports CWG 2026 Dropped: Bad news for Esports Industry as Esports DROPPED from Commonwealth Games in Australia, Industry very UPSET: Check why?
This is sad news for esports fans and players as we have seen some amazing battles in CEC 2022. Industry leaders reacted on the news:
Rohit Agarwal, Founder and Director, Alpha Zegus, a marketing agency specializing in gaming, “We have always witnessed strict action being taken against the concerned player/team. However, this is the first time that a sport is being barred due to a few bad apples. Esports still has a long way to go in terms of growth and infrastructure, but it’s a little difficult to believe that doping could be the primary reason.”
Rohit Jagasia, Founder & CEO, Revenant Esports, “It’s disheartening to see that esports inclusion in CWG as a proper medal event is not happening soon. With this news, we have to understand that our new-age sports need proper infrastructure, training facilities, coaches and most importantly health experts who will take care of athletes’ mental and physical well-being. An ecosystem only grows when every stakeholder works together and the vision should be aligned to make it a sport in all the multi-nation sports events. I am still not convinced that doping alone will be the reason, there is a lot more to it which we hope to know in the coming future.”
It is very sad news for eSports fans around the world. On the other hand Esports will be featured as Medal Esports at Asian Games 2023.
