The journey to cementing your game’s legacy in the IFES Esports World Cup 2025 begins with a streamlined yet pivotal registration process. This is your opportunity to signal your commitment, secure your place in the auction, and unlock a world of exclusive benefits—all before the global stage lights up in September 2025. Designed for efficiency and fairness, the registration phase ensures every publisher, from indie innovators to industry giants, can step into this historic esports revolution. Below, we break down everything you need to know to register by the April 2nd, 2025 deadline and position your game for greatness.
Before you hit “submit,” gather the essentials. Your registration is your game’s first impression with IFES, so make it count:
Game Title: Provide the official name of your fully released (or open beta) title as it appears in the market by March 1, 2025. This ensures we’re spotlighting the right contender.
Company Details: Include your legal company name, headquarters address, primary contact person (name, email, phone), and a brief overview of your esports experience (e.g., past tournaments hosted or community size). This helps us verify eligibility and tailor support.Top 3 Preferred Categories: Select from the 20 IFES-defined categories (e.g., MOBA, FPS, Chess—see the full list in the “Auction Process” section). Rank them in order of preference. While you can bid on multiple categories during the auction, listing your top three here helps us align your vision with the event’s structure and prepares you for the “Category Playbook” insights. Pro Tip: Double-check that your game meets the eligibility criteria (released by March 1, 2025, competitive design, global accessibility) before submitting—details are in the “Publisher Eligibility” section.
Forget paperwork and delays—registration is 100% digital, fast, and secure:
Where: Head to the official IFES website and locate the “Publisher Registration” section. How: Fill out the online form with your prepared details. It’s intuitive, with prompts to guide you through each field—think game title, company info, and category preferences. Security: Our portal uses top-tier encryption to protect your data, ensuring your submission stays confidential until the auction phase kicks off. Confirmation: Once submitted, you’ll receive an email receipt within 24 hours confirming your details and next steps. Hang onto this—it’s your proof of entry.
Note: Submissions are final once sent, so review carefully. If you spot an error, contact info@ifes.in immediately for assistance.
Your commitment becomes official with the registration fee:
Amount: $10,000—a non-refundable investment in your esports future.
Method: Pay directly through the IFES secure online portal using credit card, bank transfer, or approved digital payment options (details provided during registration).
Deadline: Payment must be completed by April 2nd, 2025, alongside your submission. No payment, no entry—it’s that simple.
Smart Investment: If you win a category in the April auction, this $10,000 is subtracted from your final bid (e.g., bid $50,000, pay only $40,000 more). Even if you don’t win, the fee unlocks a suite of benefits (see “Value of Your Registration Fee” below).
Why Non-Refundable?: This fee fuels the global qualifiers, prize pools, and infrastructure that make IFES EWC 2025 a world-class event—your contribution powers the revolution, win or lose.
