The '2025 LoL KeSPA Cup', the only off-season short-term cup competition in Korea that Disney+ broadcasts exclusively, will open on the 6th and continue until the 14th.

It is expected that a large number of LCK first-team players who have moved to a new team will participate and new combinations and strategies will emerge. A total of 14 teams, including 10 LCK teams, Vietnam, Japan All-Star, C9 and Team Liquid of LCS (North America), will be divided into three groups and hold group qualifiers online until the 8th.




Group A includes C9, Hanwha Life e-Sports, Vietnam All-Star, BNK Pierx, and Gen.G, while Group B includes DN Freak, OK Savings Bank Brion, DRX, D-Plus Kia, and KT Rollstar. In Group C, Nongshim Red Force, Japanese All-Star, Team Liquid, and T1 were organized.

On the first day, the 6th, Hanwha Life Insurance beat C9 and BNK in Group A to lead the first place with two wins, while LCK defending champion Gen.G lost two consecutive losses to C9 and Vietnam All-Star despite three first-team players.

Depending on the results of the qualifying round, the first-place team in each group will go straight to the semifinals, and the second-place team will advance to the finals. In the finals, which will be held online on the 9th, three teams will compete for points in a full league method, with the top one team joining the finals. The semifinals and finals, which will determine the final winner of the KeSPA Cup, will be held at the Sangam SOOP Coliseum in Mapo-gu, Seoul for four days from the 11th to the 14th. The winning team will receive the KeSPA Cup trophy and 60 million won in prize money.




Tickets for the semifinal and final matches, which will be held offline, can be booked from 48 hours before the start of the match through Yes 24. Tickets for the final match will open from 3 p.m. on the 9th.

Various online and offline events and prizes will be prepared to make the game more enjoyable.

At the offline site, Disney+ subscription certification events, viewing parties, and instant photo booths will be operated.
