The Commonwealth eSports Championships will be staged in connection with the Commonwealth Games 2022, which are scheduled to be hosted in Birmingham, England. August 1 to August 7 will see the first eSports competition. The eSports Championships will have its own medal and branding even though this is not an official CWG medal event, which is a tremendous move toward pushing eSports into the spotlight.
The competition will include three games: eFootball, DOTA 2, and Rocket League. The final two matches have been saved for the Indian eSports team. A seat in the Commonwealth eSports Championships was won by the DOTA 2 team, which consisted of five players: Moin Ejaz (captain), Ketan Goyal, Abhishek Yadav, Shubham Goli, and Vishal Vernekar. They won four of the six matches in the regional qualifiers. The same group competed for India in DOTA 2 in the Asian Games in 2022.
