The e-Sports World Championship 2015 (officially: "7th e-Sports World Championship, SEOUL 2015"[1]) is the 7th edition of the annual Electronic Sports World Championship held by the International e-Sports Federation. The event will take place in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, starting from December 2, 2015 and ending on December 05, 2015.

Background

The 7th e-Sports World Championship was the 2015 event of the annual e-Sports World Championship held by IeSF.

Initially, the IeSF announced the event to be held in the city of Łódź in Poland,[2] however, it "withdrew hosting the event due to political issues from the city in May, 2015. The board and the technical committee of IeSF examined candidates who applied to become the new host city, and finally decided Seoul as the host city of the 7th e-Sports World Championship, and officially announced that the 7th e-Sports World Championship will be held in Seoul." [3]

Official tournaments

In January 2015, the IeSF announced two official titles to be played in the World Championship: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2, both by Valve Software.[4] However, in August 28, the IeSF announced that the new official game titles would be League of Legends by Riot Games and Hearthstone: Heroes of WarCraft and StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void by Blizzard Entertainment, dropping Counter-Strike and Dota 2.

StarCraft II was an official game title in all World Championships held by IeSF since 2011.

Hearthstone was an official game title in the e-Sports World Championship 2014 for the first time in IeSF events, and is returning as an official title in the 7th e-Sports World Championship.

League of Legends was an official title in IeSF 2013 World Championship. However, it was dropped in favor of Dota 2 in 2014. Also, as per agreement with Riot, IeSF announced that no professional LCS or another Riot-hosted event can play in the IeSF event, citing: "IeSF and Riot Games made a consensus to limit participating players to amateur players, who have not participated in professional and semi-pro League of Legends competitions in 2015."
