The 2023 MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) tournament was a landmark event in the history of esports and took place at the Copper Box Arena, located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. This edition saw a notable increase in attendance, with 58% more viewers compared to MSI 2022, highlighting the growing popularity of video game competitions.
This is not the first time the UK has hosted a major esports event. In fact, the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup took place at the SSE Arena in Wembley, now renamed OVO Arena Wembley, confirming the importance of the United Kingdom on the international esports scene.
In addition, the O2 Arena, the second largest venue in the United Kingdom by capacity, is also mentioned. This emblematic venue, famous for hosting renowned artists such as Adèle, Beyoncé or U2, as well as important sporting events such as NBA matches or the end of the ATP tennis season, stands out for its imposing dome measuring 365 meters in diameter, one of the largest in the world. The O2 Arena is an essential part of the London skyline.
Finally, it is announced that ticket sales for the 2024 World Cup final, scheduled for November 2, 2024, will be announced later in 2024. Other information regarding the dates, cities and venues of the 2024 World Cup will also be revealed soon.
