WEMADE, the leading global game developer behind Unreal Engine 5 MMORPG Legend of YMIR, today announced that it will be hosting the YMIR Cup World Championship in partnership with global gaming lifestyle brand, Razer, from 28 February to 1 March 2026. Held at the Razer SEA HQ in Singapore, this live esports tournament is designed to establish the Norse mythology-inspired title as a long-term global competitive IP.
More than just a tournament, the YMIR Cup will be the foundational testbed for a future large-scale global league. In line with cultivating the global Legend of YMIR community, the World Championship is an invite-only hybrid event set to deliver a highly immersive esports experience for its online and offline audience.
The YMIR Cup will determine the strongest server and clan, and is held independently from the weekly Server Battles and Server Duels. League matches will take place every Friday from 26 December 2025 to 6 February 2026, and champions from each division will advance to the World Championship. Clan members of participating clans can join the competition online by accessing a dedicated tournament server. The World Champion will also face off with the winner of Korea’s Legend of YMIR 2nd YMIR Cup in a special Legend Match.
All teams will compete using some of the top-rated esports mice, keyboards, and headsets, including the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, and Razer BlackShark V3 Pro, products designed for and/or used by professional esports players worldwide, as reflected on renowned esports database Prosettings.net. These deliver ultra-low latency, rapid actuation, and ergonomic designs for peak performance.
Michael Kim, Head of Game Business Division, WEMADE, said: “From enthusiastic participation in the Legend of YMIR Partner Server system, to all the passion in action during the Server Battles, we are heartened and honoured to have witnessed the organic growth of this community. We are beyond excited to see this energy and momentum continue in the lead up to the YMIR Cup World Championship, and with Razer’s support, we look forward to empowering our best players around the world to come together and compete at the highest standards.”
