The Esports World Cup ended on Sunday. The eight-week-long competition was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Thirty teams from across the globe competed in 22 games. The winner of the tournament was Team Falcons. They won $7 million for finishing top of the table. The total prize money on offer at the World Cup was $60 million. On Tuesday, Team Falcons faced off against Team Neymar Jr, led by the Brazilian soccer star. They played Counter-Strike 2, Rocket League, and TEKKEN 8. Neymar's side beat Team Falcons 2-1. Team Falcons won two of the major games and were runners-up in two. They came top in Call of Duty: Warzone and in Free Fire.

Esports have been increasing in popularity over the past decade. They are competitive video games that require great skill, quick reactions and extreme focus and concentration. Gamers take part in a variety of games. These include MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arena) like League of Legends, and first-person shooter games like Fortnite. As with other sports, Esports have their stars. These include Lee Sang-Hyeok, Luka Perkovic, and Kim Tae-sang. They are not quite household names yet. However, in the future, they will be seen as trailblazers. They may become global superstars next year. This is when the very first Olympic Esports Games take place.
