Jakarta will host the International e-Sports Federation’s 8th e-Sports World Championship. 21 teams have been confirmed for the $20,000 competition.
The tournament will be held from October 6 to 9th in the Indonesian city. There is one team for each country - not only Counter-Strike, which is replacing Starcraft 2, but also League of Legends and Hearthstone. The nation with most titles will take home the e-Sports World Champion title.
