About

[edit]

The World e-Sports Masters (WEM), first held in 2005 under the World e-Sports Games, is an international competitive gaming event, currently organized by the Hangzhou eSport Culture & Sport Communication Company, Ltd. Prize money are awarded to winning individuals and teams.

The World eSports Games (WEG), Inc. was originally founded in 2004 by Paul Chong. Headquartered in Seoul, the first three games were held in South Korea in 2005. A year later, the event moved to Hangzhou where it was re-labeled as the World e-Sports Games Masters. In 2007, WEG once again returned to Seoul to host the World e-Sports Games e-Stars, but moved back to China for the 2008 season of what is now the World e-Sports Masters. 2010 was the last year Counter-Strike was an official game. OnGameNet is the current rightsholder to the World e-Sports Masters franchise.
