The Jeonnam Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency is now calling for participants to join the 2026 Jeollanam-do eSports Tournament.

This event serves a dual purpose: it acts as the regional qualifier for Jeonnam to select representatives for the 18th KeG (President's Cup Amateur eSports Tournament), hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Registration runs from June 25 to July 20, covering three titles: League of Legends (5-player team), FC Online (individual), and Eternal Return (3-player team). Age restrictions apply: 12+ for League of Legends, 16+ for FC Online, and 15+ for Eternal Return, with all participants required to hold an account in their own name. Registration page is where you can find more details.

The regional qualifiers will be held online over two days, from July 25 to 26. The winners of League of Legends take home 1.2 million KRW, with 800,000 KRW for the runners-up. FC Online victors receive 500,000 KRW for first place and 300,000 KRW for second, while the top Eternal Return team receives 1 million KRW, and the second-place team gets 700,000 KRW.

The champions of League of Legends and Eternal Return, alongside the top two finishers in FC Online, will earn the right to represent the region at the national finals, held at the Gyeongju Indoor Gymnasium from August 14 to 16.

The tournament follows the official regulations of the 18th KeG, and all participants are expected to comply with the rules. Any cheating or rules violation will result in immediate disqualification.

A representative from the agency noted, "This tournament is a vital opportunity to discover talented eSports players to represent Jeollanam-do and to revitalize our local eSports culture."
