(SeaPRwire) – The second season of this live global esports competition will be held at Seoul’s SOOP Colosseum from June 27 to 28, and will be streamed live across major global platforms.
SEOUL, South Korea – May 22, 2026 – WEMADE, the leading global game developer behind the blockbuster Unreal Engine 5 MMORPG Legend of YMIR, has announced plans to host the YMIR Cup World Championship Season 2 from June 27 to 28. Taking place live at the state-of-the-art SOOP Colosseum in Sangam, Seoul, this global esports tournament aims to showcase the game’s deep competitive layers and further establish the Norse mythology-inspired title as a premier global intellectual property.
Building on the success of its inaugural tournament—hosted in partnership with leading global gaming brand Razer in Singapore earlier this year—the YMIR Cup World Championship Season 2 serves as another competitive arena for the game’s global community. This two-day hybrid event is set to deliver a highly immersive, high-stakes esports experience for both in-person attendees and online fans.
The tournament will kick off with the Semifinals on June 27, culminating in the Finals and the much-anticipated “Legend Match” on June 28. To determine which elite servers will advance to the main stage in Seoul, WEMADE will host online regional qualifiers from May 24 to 31.
The server that claims the World Championship title will earn the honor of facing off against South Korea’s top-tier players in the “Legend Match”. Applications for Korean representative slots are open on the official Legend of YMIR website until May 31. A total of 250 players will be selected strictly based on competitive combat power rankings, with the final roster to be announced on June 2.
The tournament centers on “Server Battles”, the core large-scale PvP content of the game, where teams must strategically destroy the “Tower of Victory” at the center of the battlefield, claim the crown, and successfully transport it to a designated location. If a team fails to complete the objective within the time limit, the victor will be determined by tallying total points from direct PvP combat, capturing key boss bases, and damage dealt to the “Tower of Victory”.
In response to feedback from players and viewers of the previous tournament, WEMADE has introduced strategic gameplay updates to heighten tactical tension. Most notably, Season 2 will debut “Life Mode”, a new mechanic that limits character resurrection opportunities to a maximum of three times per match—significantly boosting strategic depth, survival stakes, and overall viewer immersion.
Michael Kim, Head of Game Business Division at WEMADE, said: “We are incredibly proud to witness the growth of the Legend of YMIR competitive scene and the immense passion shown by our global player community. With Season 2 of the YMIR Cup World Championship, we’re excited to introduce refined mechanics that empower our best players to compete at the highest standards, while delivering an unforgettable spectacle for fans worldwide.”
Live coverage of the entire tournament will be broadcast simultaneously across major global platforms, including WEMADE Global’s official YouTube channel and other leading streaming networks.
