Press Start On Two Action-Packed Weekends Of Tournaments At Rove Gaming Nights
While the city gears up for GameExpo 2026, Rove is getting into the competitive spirit a little earlier with the launch of Rove Gaming Nights. Taking place across two weekends from May 23rd to 31st, the experience transforms Rove City Centre into a hub for solo players, groups of friends, and esports communities to connect, compete, and celebrate fan-favourite titles.
With AED 21,000 worth of cash prizes on the line, Rovers can expect plenty of high-energy matchups, nail-biting moments, and epic comebacks you won’t want to miss.
Created in collaboration with Dubai-based esports and events organisation Four04, Rove Gaming Nights combines the playful personality and laidback comfort of Rove Hotels with the thrill of a live gaming arena.
In partnership with ROG and AMD with support from Dubai’s leading gaming venue, Que club, premium audio partner Shure, and Red Bull, the event sets the stage for amateur players and seasoned competitors alike to battle it out, cheer from the sidelines, and immerse themselves in the community spirit that defines gaming culture.
Ahead of GameExpo 2026, the experience offers a more community-led take on the region’s growing esports scene, giving players the chance to test their skills, meet fellow gamers, and be part of the excitement.
Each weekend, the action kicks off at 2PM and continues well after sunset as Rovers go head-to-head in some of esports’ biggest titles. The first weekend sets the tone on May 23rd and 24th, with Tekken 8 delivering fierce one-on-one battles and an AED 1,000 prize for the sharpest fighter, while Super Smash Bros Ultimate adds fast-paced chaos, with AED 2,000 waiting for the player who can outlast the rest. VALORANT raises the stakes even further, putting teamwork and precision to the test as squads compete for AED 6,000.
On May 30th and 31st, the second weekend takes things up a notch with two MOBA favourites. Dota 2 will see players outsmart their opponents for an AED 6,000 prize, while Mobile Legends Bang Bang keeps the energy high with rapid-fire battles and another AED 6,000 up for grabs.
Cash prizes will be distributed to the winners by Four04 at GameExpo 2026.
