Doha-based QUEST Esports a pioneer in region’s gaming sector
One of the top gaming organizations in the Middle East and North Africa, QUEST Esports, continues to forge ahead by supporting a fast growing community and assisting content producers in reaching a global audience.
By providing turn-key solutions for media creation, managing professional esports players, planning and administering online and LAN events, among other services, QUEST, which was founded in 2019, has quickly entered the elite esports space. The Doha-based esports industry pioneer has organized or overseen at least five large LAN tournaments and online league contests, including ones for Fortnite, CS: GO, PUBG Mobile, Dota 2, and FIFA. It also boasts a competent and experienced crew.
The EA Sports FIFA 22 Champions Cup Powered by Ooredoo Nation, one of its events, was the first LAN tournament to be held in the Arabian Gulf following the pandemic and the first esports event to be broadcast in the metaverse. In front of more than 4,000 live spectators, 16 of the top players in the world gathered to compete for a $50,000 prize fund.
QUEST has formed a strategic relationship with Ooredoo Qatar, a major innovator in digital transformation, with the aim of developing the region’s esports potential. As a result, the Ooredoo Thunders esports team was established as well as the esports platform Ooredoo Nation – Gamers’ Land. Gamers’ Land is a global community that keeps expanding, invents, innovates, produces, and evolves, finally raising the bar for gaming in the area. One of the top esports teams in the area right now is the Ooredoo Thunders.
In addition to these countries, QUEST has operations in Lebanon and Turkey. It has intentions to grow throughout the larger MENA area, beginning with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The establishment of the QUEST Gaming House in Turkey demonstrates the company’s dedication even though its expansion goals are ambitious. The stunning live-in facility serves as a boot camp for its esports teams as players get ready for international competitions. It has a private garden. Players can take use of the newest gaming equipment and technology while living and training on-site with trainers and managers, ensuring the greatest possible preparations.
The Istanbul location also serves as a hub for content development, giving streamers and creators access to the newest equipment and software to improve their streams as well as a place to foster teamwork and idea generation. The business operates similarly in Doha, and the infrastructure there has already produced a number of noteworthy outcomes.
Hellon, an Ooredoo Thunders player, won the Fortnite Championship Series in August to earn a spot in the American main tournament. Maher Hajj, a Danish-Lebanese player who won the seventh season of the Danish Superliga, qualified for and played in the FIFA World Cup in Copenhagen from July 15 to 17, finishing in the 25th to 28th spot. PUBGM and DOTA 2 have also experienced comparable success.
Elie Honain, CEO of QUEST Esports, stated that all of the company’s facilities “meet or surpass international standards, which is compatible with our ultimate objectives of producing strong teams that can play globally.” “By creating a supportive environment where players may pursue careers in gaming, we intend to turn the area into an esports hub and promote better gaming habits.
“That final element is crucial, as we have noticed in other gaming marketplaces that are still in the early stages of development, there is still a notion that gaming is risky, pointless, or even encourages violence. By working with organizations that share its values and hosting innovative esports events in the area, QUEST Esports aspires to build a sustainable ecosystem for the multi-billion dollar industry. And by doing so, we can illustrate the enormous advantages that come with professional gaming when it is conducted in a controlled atmosphere.
