Here are Tristan H. Cockcroft’s way-too-early rankings for ESPN points leagues for the 2026 fantasy baseball season. Saudi Arabia has invested large amounts of money into sports including soccer, Formula One, boxing and golf, with critics accusing the country of engaging in sportswashing its human rights record. The IOC has been looking into Esports for several years and has formed a dedicated commission to find opportunities. In 2021, it developed the Olympic virtual series, a pilot venture in esports.

“We are a youthful nation, with over 23 million gamers,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal, the Saudi Minister of Sport, said. “We are very fortunate to be able to work with the Saudi NOC on the Olympic Esports Games, because it has great — if not unique — expertise in the field of esports with all its stakeholders,” IOC president Thomas Bach said in a statement. Despite his willingness to experiment with new formats, Erigaisi’s main goal for 2025 is pretty clear – he wants to qualify for next year’s Candidates tournament, the winner of which will face Dommaraju Gukesh in the next world championship. He missed out narrowly to Fabiano Caruana in the FIDE Circuit last year, but there are seven more spots left to be taken, the bulk of which will come through the Grand Swiss and the FIDE World Cup later this year. His start to the year hasn’ t been great, as he struggled at the Tata Steel Chess Masters in Wijk Aan Zee, even though he finished with wins against Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Gukesh. The game had a dramatic start with Coastal head coach Kevin Schnall and first base coach Matt Schilling getting ejected in the bottom of the first for disputing a ball/strike call.
It was, in fact, conversations with Carlsen and Nakamura that made Erigaisi consider the possibility of getting into the eSports World Cup circuit. Qualification will happen through the 2025 Champions Chess Tour, with 12 players making it Riyadh through that route, before four more get the opportunity in a last chance qualifier just before the final tournament. One of India’s highest-rated classical players, Arjun Erigaisi, has been signed by Gen G eSports, as teams bid to have the best talent in their ranks, with only 16 qualifying for the final tournament. The eSports World Cup will happen between July 31 and August 3, where the world’s top chess players will be competing for a $1.5 million prize pool. Here are Eric Karabell’s rankings for ESPN head-to-head category and rotisserie leagues for the 2025 fantasy baseball season. “Our kingdom has become a global hub for professional esports … This is a natural next step for our young athletes, our country and the global esports community.”
“I am decent with the mouse, but that is one thing I need to train at to become even faster,” Erigaisi told ESPN. Even though the starting time of 10 minutes is similar to rapid chess, Erigaisi declined to call this format rapid. The 2025 fantasy baseball season just ended, but Eric Karabell is already thinking about 2026. Trying to decide between a couple of closely ranked players this week? Last year, Saudi Arabia launched an annual Esports World Cup with its first edition currently being held in Riyadh from July 3-Aug.
