Olympics Esports Full Review: All Winners, Prize Money, Top Nations And More

2 months ago By Randell Jhonson

The Olympic Esports Series made its debut with the aim of bridging the gap between traditional sports and their esports counterparts.

With the series held from June 23 to 25 in Singapore, players from around the world gathered to compete in a range of video game titles, each associated with a traditional Olympic discipline. For example, Just Dance was linked to dancing, Zwift to cycling, and Chess.com to chess.

Alongside the main tournament, three show matches featuring popular esports titles were held: Rocket League, Street Fighter 6, and NBA 2K23. Although these matches were not part of the official competition, they provided additional entertainment for spectators.

Unlike traditional Olympic events, the players and teams in the tournament did not represent their respective countries. Check complete details on Olympics Esports, all winners, prize money, top nations and more.
