The Commonwealth Esports Championship was an international esports competition for gamers from member states of the Commonwealth of Nations which was held concurrently with the quadrennial Commonwealth Games.[1]
History
[edit]In February 2022, the Commonwealth Games Federation announced that the inaugural Commonwealth Esports Championship would be held concurrently with the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. The championships would have their own distinct branding, medals, and organisation and that men and women's Dota 2, eFootball, and Rocket League events would take place.[2][3]
After the successful pilot in 2022 it was then dropped for the scaled-down 2026 Commonwealth Games for unknown reasons, potentially due to it being a smaller games or other internal reasons.
