In addition to the excitement, the event will host important figures such as Mortal, SC0ut, Destro, Saumraj, Ankiibot, Spero, Fyxs, Darshita, Vaadhiyar and Tomboy from the Indian game community. It is expected that their assets will show great interest and inspire young espor enthusiasts.

With a unique movement, official products for Kiyg Esports teams will not have any sponsor logo or brands. Instead, players will proudly represent their own states, emphasize regional abilities and develop a sense of pride in the state in competition. This year, more than seven states will first scan the special esports teams under various game titles, and that the two best teams and solo artists from each state have been chosen through open elimination areas.

This initiative is based on Bihar's pioneering efforts to host Open Espor Championships in 2023 and 2024. Following the leadership of Bihar, other states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Tamil Nadu, Teanghana and Himachal Pradesh clearly revealed the open championships of 2025 and their own esports.

When we look beyond KIG, the National ESports Championship is planned at the beginning of June. This championship aims to exhibit distinguished espor athletes who have the potential to compete at the highest international levels, including India's Olympics. Diptanhu from Univ Esports emphasized the structured approach to ESPOR, which is considered to be a priority sport under the Ministry of Sports, which is different from the real money games of the government. He also talked about the possibility of joining the ESPORTS movement by taking a look at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics of the states such as Nagaland, Delhi and Haryana.

The inclusion of Espor's Khelo Indian Youth Games 2025 is a monumental step towards recognizing and developing the main current of the Espor Ecosystem in India by opening the way for future growth and potential Olympic participation.
