The Esports World Cup – which began on July 3 – has brought together professional gamers, publishers and fans from across the world for an eight-week competitive gaming bonanza. Its record-breaking prize pool of more than $60 million has raised eyebrows and Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation which is organizing the event, told CNN Sport that the spectacle will help unite the industry.

The concern around the nation’s human rights record – notably freedom of speech and treatment of minorities – has been widespread in esports, with some inside the industry refusing to take part in the EWC.
