Team Alpha and Rohit Jain to represent India at the World Esports League
Following spectacular performances in the national qualifiers, Team Alpha and Rohit Jain have sealed their places for the upcoming global finals of the World Esports League 2021 scheduled from December 16 to 19 at the Gwangju Esports Arena in Korea.
Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the India Qualifiers were held virtually last week. The World Esports League 2021 is hosted by Technoblood Inc. and organised by the WSL organising committee in association with the International Esports Federation.
A four-member Team Alpha, comprising of engineering and management students including captain Ashmit Raj, Shashank Jain, Sravanth Saranu and Harschit Jain (substitute), emerged victorious in Brawl Stars event in the India Qualifiers, which witnessed high-voltage competition between country’s eight top teams.
“I have been playing Brawl Stars since it was released and now it’s a great honour for me to lead the Indian team in its maiden appearance at the global final in this game. I would like to thank the federation [ESFI], who have been very supportive & professional. We will give our best to bring glory for the country in the finals” said elated Ashmit, skipper of Team Alpha.
On the other hand, the qualifying event of the popular fighting game Tekken7 saw participation of 35 top athletes from across the country. However, Delhi-based Rohit impressed everyone with his skillful game and clinched the top honours.
“Last couple of years have been really good for me. I have had very good finishes in the last few tournaments of ESFI but somehow representing India did not happen. However, today all the hard work paid off and I am ready for my debut international tournament. I look forward to making this opportunity even more special by clinching the medal” Rohit commented.
The global finals of the World Esports League 2021 will boast a prize pool of USD 400,000 as the world’s top athletes will be seen in action across games like Tekken7, Brawl Stars, PUBG and Eternal Return.
“This will be the first time an Indian team is participating in Brawl Stars at the global stage. Rohit Jain has been playing consistently for the last couple of years and this year he finally managed to bag the championship. We are equally very enthusiastic on their debut and confident in making a mark,” said Mr Lokesh Suji, Director of Esports Federation of India (ESFI) and Vice President of the Asian Esports Federation (AESF).

2025 Esports Innovation and Communication Seminar Held in Mudanjiang, China
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The 2025 Esports Innovation and Communication Seminar, supported by the China Media Group (CMG) National Institute for Esports Development and hosted by CCTV Animation Group Co., Ltd., was held on October 17, 2025, in Mudanjiang, China. The event gathered experts, academics and industry leaders from China’s esports community, as well as participants from Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other parts of the world.
Through roundtable discussions and keynote addresses, the seminar explored key topics such as:
• “Breaking Barriers, Thriving Together: How Gen Z is Shaping and Growing Within Esports Culture”
• “Digital Bridges, Global Synergy: Esports as a New Platform for Cross-Cultural Exchange and Collaboration”
• “AI-Driven Innovation, Gear Revolution: Unlocking New Opportunities for the Sports Industry Through Esports”
Discussions at the event connected with concrete developments in China’s esports sector over the past year. China has hosted a growing slate of international tournaments, with three major esports competitions for League of Legends, Honor of Kings and CS2 scheduled to take place in the country in November.
The League of Legends 2025 World Championship traveled through Beijing and Shanghai before concluding in Chengdu on November 9. Global audiences saw a broadcast package featuring iconic sites such as the Great Wall alongside Shanghai’s city lights and Chengdu’s local culture, offering esports fans worldwide a multifaceted look at contemporary China.
Inspired, jungler for the LTA region’s top-seeded team FLY, shared in an interview, “My experience in China has been great, and I’m eager to see which teams we will compete against at Worlds.”
Such enthusiasm from international players is matched by the energy of Chinese fans. After a match at the League of Legends 2025 World Championship, South Korean competitor Chovy noted, “There were many Chinese fans in the arena cheering us on—we are truly thankful.”
This spirit of support, focused on performance rather than outcome, reflects the openness and professionalism of local esports audiences—an expression of cultural confidence. That confidence leaves a strong impression on global participants.
Brazilian player lux remarked in a June media interview, “Whenever I’m asked which city is my favorite, I always say Shanghai. It’s incredible. The fans are amazing, and so are the events.”
China’s capacity for hosting high-caliber esports events has also drawn international recognition. After attending this year’s KPL Grand Finals, German commentator Danny Engels said, “The production level is world-class. The stage screens are unique, and attention to detail is evident throughout.”
As esports continues to grow in global influence, these events convey not only competition, but also culture, image and values.
