The people that are against it have differing reasons, but the most common one I see is the fact that it's funded (in part or in whole) by the government of Saudi Arabia

I don't personally have an issue with them, but usually people mention things like authoritarian rule and/or corruption within the systems of power, religious dissimilarities, and having oil as their biggest industry by far

saudi arabia is bad because women are almost treated like 2nd citizenship and its a monarchy. the foreigners who work there are treated horribly bad. but i find sideshow to be very hypocrtical when hes actively working in a china game who has tyrant and in alot of big human right issue such as ughyur ( protect my brothers and sisters ) and working actively in us that is commiting one of the worst human crisis in palestine yemen and everyone can see it.

nothing can beat the crime that israel did in palestine, which america is by far the biggest supporter (saudi too, yes, but but that's just because they're american ally lmao)

In short; Its just Sportswashing (aka. Saudi Arabia using E-Sports to make us look past things theire doing)
Sideshow explained it well in case you got 2 Hours for this Subject:

Also the Esports World Cup is just weirdly Organised and thus not to the normal standard of competition (i think at least)

Loads of people have issues with the implicatioons of it being directly funded by the Saudi public investment fund.
If you just care about valorant then its kinda bad because of its format. Its just another international that comes pretty much directly after toronto and due to its qualification process has mostly the exact same teams so not much new. Adittionally its squeezed between toronto and stage 2, so most teams will probably play kind of half assed because they simply care more about champs than ewc. Also iirc theyll have like 8 games a day???? idek
