The IESF’s flagship international competition, which has taken place annually since 2009, is due to be in in Eilat in Israel.

An IESF release added: "DOTA 2, published by Valve, enjoys enormous global esports popularity.

"The DOTA Pro Circuit, with Valve’s 'The International' tournament, has seen crowdfunded prize pools in excess of $30 million (£21million/€25million), making DOTA 2 one of the most lucrative games in Esports.

"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) is a multiplayer first-person shooter genre developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment.

"It is the fourth edition in the long-standing Counter-Strike series, one of the biggest Esports titles in the world for two decades."

Also returning for its third year as an official game title for the Championship will be KONAMI’s eFootball PES series.

"With its long history of international appeal, eFootball is a natural choice for international Esports competition," an IESF release adds.

"The game will be played on Playstation®4 during the IESF competition. 

"IESF looks forward to continuing to engage the global PES community in making this game an exciting part of international Esports competitions into the future.

"The eFootball PES series tournaments were a centerpiece of the 11th and 12th Esports World Championship."

Eilat was chosen as the host city of the IESF’s 13th Esports World Championship following the cancellation of the global finals event in 2020.

The format of the competition will be similar to last year’s as the World Championship’s Regional Games will be held online and the best players and teams will be participating in the offline Global Finals in Eilat.
