Oct 13, 2025

The Asia E-Sports Industry Support Center, located at Chosun University in Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced that it has supported the in-school e-sports competition of 27 middle and high schools in Gwangju this year following 2024.

In particular, five new humanities schools participated this year, showing that e-sports has become a youth culture regardless of professional and humanities, the center said.

The competition was held in a variety of events, including 'League of Legends', 'Valorant', and 'FC Online'. Judgment and commentary were directly selected and operated by the student council, and students led the entire competition autonomously. The center helped facilitate the smooth progress by providing operating foundations such as tournament manuals, equipment inspection, and network environment support.

An official of the center said, "The significant increase in participation in humanities schools proves that e-sports is no longer an activity enjoyed only by students of certain affiliates. "Seeing students take the initiative in running competitions and learning cooperation and sportsmanship, I realize that the educational value of e-sports is spreading further."." Teachers and students who participated in the competition evaluated that the competition provided a place for exchange and cooperation that crossed the barriers of each school.

The Asia Esports Industry Support Center said it plans to expand and operate various programs to help students in Gwangju continue their studies, career exploration, and leisure activities in a balanced way.
