Community is everything when it comes to esports, and Saudi Arabia is looking to spread that statement.
“Sixty-eight percent of our community consider themselves gamers, and it is well-balanced between men and women."
There is a precedent that has been set for esports during these past few years, and more and more gamers are coming forward to showcase their talents.
