The
World Cyber Games (
WCG) was an international competitive video-gaming (
e-sports) event operated by
South Korean company World Cyber Games Inc., and sponsored by
Samsung Electronics and
Microsoft. WCG events attempted to emulate a traditional sporting tournament, such as the
Olympic Games; events included an official opening ceremony, and players from various countries competing for gold, silver and bronze medals. The official motto of WCG was "Beyond the Game", which is also the title of a
documentary about e-sports.
