Organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), the second annual EMFHK will be larger in scale and will see over 110 players from all over the world battle it out at the acclaimed “Return of the Legends 2018”; and two new tournaments, the “Hong Kong PUBG World Invitational” and the “ZOTAC CUP MASTERS CS:GO 2018 Grand Finals”.
The “ZOTAC CUP MASTERS CS:GO 2018 Grand Finals” will offer a total prize pool of US$300,000 (over HK$2 million), setting a new record in Hong Kong’s e-sports tournament.
While DJ Soda and singer-songwriter Gin Lee will grace the stage at the Tournament Zone, gaming fans will get to try their hand at the latest games and enjoy a host of music and entertainment programmes at the Experience Zone.
