Seoul's Songpa District held the "2026 Songpa e-Sports Game Tournament" at the Songpa Youth Center on the 11th. The tournament, featuring the mobile game "Brawl Stars," attracted strong interest with 484 participants, a more than tenfold increase from last year.
A total of 416 players took part in the online preliminaries on the 4th, of whom 68 advanced to the finals. The tournament was held as a three-on-three team competition and an individual competition, with the team event divided into elementary, middle school, and family divisions.
The tournament took place in "MetaPlayX," an immersive media zone inside the Songpa Youth Center, where a large beam projector added to the on-site atmosphere. Winners received cultural gift vouchers, and all finalists were given souvenirs.
"I hope this becomes an opportunity for young people to experience a healthy gaming culture together with their families," Songpa District Mayor Seo Kang-seok said.
