What are the biggest esports tournaments upcoming that will have live audiences?
#1
I've been watching esports tournaments upcoming announcements and I'm trying to figure out which ones will have proper live audience experiences. After the pandemic, some events are still hybrid or online only, but I really miss the energy of being in the crowd for big matches.

Which esports tournaments upcoming are confirmed to have significant live audience components? I'm interested in all major games - League, Dota, CS, Valorant, fighting games, etc.

Also, for those who have attended esports tournaments upcoming with live audiences recently, what was the experience like compared to pre-pandemic events? Are the production values and fan experiences back to normal?

The League of Legends World Championship is definitely one of the biggest esports tournaments upcoming with a live audience. They've been doing stadium shows in different cities each year and the production is insane. I went last year and the energy was electric - way better than watching online. Other esports tournaments upcoming with confirmed live audiences include the Dota 2 International and several CS:GO majors.

I attended a fighting game tournament recently and the live experience was fantastic. For esports tournaments upcoming, the fighting game community events are particularly good because they often have casual play areas where you can challenge other attendees between matches. The production values for these esports tournaments upcoming have definitely improved - better screens, sound, and seating than pre-pandemic events I've been to.

From a tech perspective, some of the esports tournaments upcoming are incorporating really cool production elements. I saw one that had augmented reality overlays on the big screens that only people in the arena could see. The fan experiences at these esports tournaments upcoming are getting more interactive too - there are apps that let you vote on camera angles or see player stats in real time.
