There was a premiere to celebrate in Tyrol last weekend - the first "Gamers Heaven" took place there. And it was a great success: the event was sold out with more than 2000 guests over the two days.

"From young to old, from pro gamers to hobby gamers, from cosplay enthusiasts to board game lovers to Mario Kart pros, from parents with gaming children to children with gaming parents - Gamers Heaven was the hotspot for everyone interested in gaming. That was our goal and we achieved it," says organizer Nikolaus Staudacher, expressing his complete satisfaction.

Games could be played on consoles, gaming PCs, VR glasses or classic board or card games. Large tournaments in the games Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart and EA Sports FC, including live broadcasts of the finals on the festival stage, were also part of the colorful event program.

Another highlight of Gamers Heaven was the cosplay catwalk, where cosplay enthusiasts were able to present their elaborate costumes from the world of games and anime on stage. "The quality of the different presentations showed what creative potential there is in the scene and how many people are actually enthusiastic about it," says Staudacher.
