British singer-songwriter Tom Grennan, visiting Riyadh for the first time for Esports World Cup 2025, said he was blown away by the support of the fans cheering on their favorite players.
“I watched people playing Call of Duty today. My experience of Call of Duty is sitting on an Xbox in my bedroom — their experience is sitting in front of 2,000 people,” he said. “They’re singing like football fans. There are flags everywhere. It’s crazy. It’s beautiful, it’s wicked to see a new thing bubbling and I can already tell it’s going to be massive.”
The scale of the Esports World Cup can be overwhelming for first-time visitors, with state-of-the-art arenas, numerous activities and entertainments, and thousands of fans from all over the world buzzing with excitement.
