The Esports Federation of India (ESFI) has officially kicked off the National Esports Championship 2025 (NESC25) to select India’s official contingent for the 17th World Esports Championship (WEC) hosted by the International Esports Federation (IESF).
🎮 Titles & Format:
- Online qualifiers will be held from May 22, featuring Indian esports athletes in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and Dota 2.
- Registrations are open until May 19.
- Matches will be livestreamed on ESFI’s YouTube channel.
- Since eFootball was not part of last year’s WEC, the NESC 2024 eFootball champion receives a direct qualification to WEC 2025.
🌍 BRICS Esports Championship 2025:
- ESFI has also finalized the Indian squad for the upcoming BRICS Esports Championship, scheduled from May 28 to June 3 at VK Play Arena, Moscow.
- India will be represented in Tekken 8 by Gurashish “Soul” Singh and Shubham Khorwal.
🗣️ ESFI Director Lokesh Suji remarked:
“India’s recent historic gold medal wins at the WAVES Esports Championship have proven that our athletes can deliver on the global stage. With NESC25, we aim to carry that momentum forward. Our vision is clear—to make India an esports superpower through structured pathways, high-performance platforms, and consistent global representation.”
📈 What this means:
NESC25 is more than a qualifier—it’s a step toward cementing India’s place in the global esports ecosystem, with structured growth and international exposure at its core.
Stay tuned as India’s top esports athletes battle it out for national pride and global glory! 🇮🇳🎮🌍
