Why Sofia Esports Summit?
Despite being a nation with talent, passion, and a rich history in competitive gaming, Bulgaria lacks a clear, unified plan and structure for its long-term esports development.
This initiative aims to bring all existing parties together to build the future of Bulgarian esports, establish sustainable infrastructure, and bring new people on board along the way.
BOS.GAMES is an esports platform created with a focus on the competitive environment and the growth of the gaming community. It offers tournaments, competitive matchmaking, leaderboards, and special formats, enabling participants to turn their gaming skills and results into real economic value. The platform develops an environment where talent, perseverance, and performance can be measured, developed, and monetized.
