Update: The organizers of Bucharest Gaming Week have decided to postpone the event for the second half of January 2018, given the fact that the Romanian Government has declared December 14, 15, and 16 as days of national mourning following the death of King Michael. More details on the event's program will be announced in the coming period.

Initial story: The first edition of Bucharest Gaming Week, an event that will bring the latest video games and gadgets to the Romanian capital, will be organized between December 12 and December 17.

The program will include events dedicated to the gaming industry in Romania, exhibitions that highlight the creativity of Romanian artists, and educational conferences. There will also be gaming tournaments for both professional and amateur players, hands-on sessions with the latest video games and the gadgets, meetings with the most popular vloggers in Romania, and unique experiences in Virtual Reality (VR).

The main event will be organized on December 16-17, when Romexpo will host the Electronic Sports League (ESL) Southeast Europe Championship finals for Counter Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends and Hearthstone, as well as the finals of Season 3 of the national League of Legends tournament.
