Esports News UK has been in contact with multiple ‘Superfans’ who attended the Esports World Cup Counter-Strike & Apex events. The fans, who received free travel, accommodation and tickets to events through organisations making use of EWC’s Superfan program, revealed several peculiarities of the Riyadh event.
While some of the Superfans relayed an overall positive experience, they were also allegedly subject to censorship, unequal treatment, and lacked reasonable access to water on EWC’s final day of the Counter-Strike 2 event.
