Every chess player signed to an esports organization ahead of the 2025 Esports World Cup marks an
exciting step in the integration of chess into the esports world. In December 2024, chess was officially
added to the Esports World Cup, and since then, top esports organizations have signed some of the best
players from the global chess scene.
Ukrainian organization NAVI (Natus Vincere) made a major move on February 17th, 2025, announcing
the signing of three top players: Nodirbek Abdusattorov, ranked 6th in the world, Wesley So, and
Oleksandr Bortnyk. The trio competed in the first Chessable Masters of 2025, with So finishing in the top
16. They’re now preparing to represent NAVI at the Esports World Cup, where the organization is part of
the Club programme.
The 2025 Esports World Cup Chess tournament will take place from July 31st to August 3rd in Riyadh,
featuring a $1.5 million prize pool. Chess.com has partnered with the Esports World Cup Foundation to
bring the world’s best online chess players to this event, with Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen serving as
the Global Ambassador. The competition will follow a rapid 10+0 format, where each player has just 10
minutes, with no added time, making the games fast-paced and exciting.
So far, only a few players have qualified for the Esports World Cup, including Magnus Carlsen from Team
Liquid, Hikaru Nakamura from Team Falcons, and Ian Nepomniachtchi from Aurora Gaming. The
tournament will feature the top 12 players based on CCT points, with four more players making it
through a last-chance qualifier.
Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking addition to the esports world!
