Aidan Threats Mong and Sebastian Trippernn Kjaer, who are players of the esports division of the English football club Manchester City, are among the participants of the Fortnite tournament at the “Games of the Future”, which are held with the support of the russian Ministry of Sport in the UAE. This is evidenced by the event’s participant list on Liquipedia.
There are also representatives of Dignitas, BIG, Twisted Minds, ZETA DIVISION, Al Qadsiah, and Red Bull eSports participating in the tournament.
There will also be an MLBB tournament as part of the event, with Team Falcons, The Mongolz, and ONIC among the participants.
The first “Games of the Future” festival took place in Kazan at the beginning of 2024. At that time, a number of European organizations refused to participate in the tournaments within the event. Putin attended the opening ceremony of that event.
Previously, the Liquipedia page for the tournament mentioned that the russian Ministry of Sport was one of the organizers of the event. However, this information was removed from the tournament page on the platform by the Russian administrator Dgondi.
It was planned that Sébastien Ceb Debs, Topias Topson Taavitsainen, and Johan N0tail Sundstein would play in the Dota 2 tournament within the “Games of the Future.” But after the publicity, they declined to participate.
