“It was amazing, it was like going to a football match,” said one of the commentators on stage following a match at the Esports World Cup in Paris.
The tournament marks the first international edition of the Saudi-born and funded cup, and across every corridor, stage and game at Porte de Versailles, a comparison with football, or a dismissal of such comparisons, was impossible to ignore.
