How Can You Get into Esports Tournaments
There are many types of esports tournaments. In fact, these days you can see even professional sports teams partnering with esports organizations in order to host various competitive video gaming events, and this is quite normal. But to an outsider, the question of how one gets involved with esports and tournaments may appear a curious one. Luckily, it's actually very easy to get started on a career in esports as all you need to do is to actually play the game you love. There are independent organizations that will host these events and you will be able to qualify based on several factors. Tournament hosts usually use:
- MMR (Ranking) in a game
- Open Qualifiers
- Direct Invitations
Each of these three works to create an opportunity to join a competitive video gaming event at ZERO cost. The best esports tournaments these days won't ask you for any money to participate. All you need to bring along is your skill and in-depth understanding of the game.
Becoming a pro gamer by itself isn't easy, but you can rest assured that there are many ways to access the best competitive events out there. Of course, some competitions, such as the League of Legends regional competitions, Call of Duty, and Overwatch Leagues may follow a franchised model which means that, as a gamer, you need to join a team that can provide you with access to these events. Once again, all that you need to do is focus on becoming very good at the game rather than worrying about any costs, as you won't have to cover any. In fact, if you become good enough, you will be the one being paid to put your skills to good use! If you cannot be a pro gamer, but still have a great understanding of how esports work, you can investigate the best esports betting websites in the Middle East and try your hand at placing a bet on a team or player that is likely to win in your opinion.
Most Famous Esports Games in the Middle East
If you are looking for the most popular esports games in the Middle East, you will be happy to know that there is quite a choice out there. Players are very welcome to try their hand at numerous options such as:
- FIFA
- Call of Duty
- Fortnite
- Valorant
- Garena Free Fire
- League of Legends
- Dota 2
Some of the most talented players from the region have been able to make it to some of the best teams as well. All of these games are incredibly competitive simply because they offer you the type of gameplay that allows you to grow in the game. Not all games can be competitive but the ones that have an almost unlimited potential to get better. Garena Free Fire may seem like a casual mobile shooter, but playing against a well-trained team will leave you at zero unless you demonstrate the same level of commitment and a deeper level of understanding of the game. The same pretty much applies to any other competitive title in the Middle East. Dota 2 and League of Legends are similarly challenging and rewarding when you come to think about them. Players will be able to enjoy themselves a great deal all by picking the right game and honing their skills to match those of their opponents.

Inside the life of a pro gamer is definitely different than what you expected it to be. It's not just a matter of playing a lot – it's a matter of playing a lot towards a concrete purpose that you need to define and adhere to. Just like a boxer would need to put immense effort into fighting well so does a professional gamer need to continue honing their skills well to succeed. The Middle East has many great examples of local gamers who have succeeded, including Big and Angry Bird, breaker, and many others who have become symbols of the local gaming community.
