Nepal is making its mark on the global esports stage with teams DRS Gaming and Horaa Esports competing in the Esports World Cup. These players represent a burgeoning Nepali esports scene hoping to achieve international success. Despite this promising start, the industry faces significant challenges within Nepal itself, with a lack of consistent domestic tournaments hindering player development. Players are also appealing for increased government recognition and support to foster sustainable growth. They believe investment in infrastructure and organized competitions is crucial for the nation to capitalize on the billion-dollar esports industry. The teams’ international participation aims to raise Nepal’s profile and attract attention to these pressing domestic needs. Achieving success abroad could be a catalyst for change at home.
