Before the tournament started, participants first took part in a talk show with the theme “Beyond the Future”. This talkshow invited two speakers, Mr. Ari Juliano Gema as Expert Staff to the Minister for Bureaucratic Reform and Regulation of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and Anisa Rahim as Onic Esports Talent. Mr. Ari explained about the development of the game from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in the midst of a pandemic. He said, “There is an increase in revenue of around 70% during this pandemic, because the game industry is transforming digitally. But unfortunately, local games are still inferior to foreign games. He said that the government supports the development of the local game industry by finding investors through overseas events, and providing training. Finally, Mr. Ari invites the audience to support the local game industry so that they can become kings in their own country and can expand outward to compete with international games.

Furthermore, Anisa shared information about a career in the world of esports. She said to be able to compete in the esports world, one must be willing to develop, take advantage of existing platforms, build relationships, and continue to hone skills by frequently participating in tournaments ranging from small to large. Anisa emphasized “the most important thing is to be consistent and have a good attitude” whether you want to be a talent or a pro player.

The event continued with a tournament which was divided into 3 sessions guided by Dave and Ole as Casters. There was also a special appearance from Arsy Widianto who enlivened the event.
