Last November, Circuito Tormenta and the Centro Cultural Coreano officially announced a collaboration for this season with many surprises for the community.
The Centro Cultural Coreano will be present in the 2024/25 season of the largest amateur esports structure in Spain. The goal is to promote an exchange of cultures between the project of Riot Games and GGTech Entertainment and one of the countries reference gaming ecosystem through the Cultural Center.
This exchange will materialize with the end of the 2024/25 season, as the Centro Cultural Coreano will provide a trip to Seoul for all members of the League of Legends team that will be awarded the title of champion, giving you the opportunity to discover the country that is known as the cradle of esports.
The incorporation of the Centro Cultural Coreano into the Circuito Tormenta reinforces the aspirational narrative built up over years. League of Legends and the tradition of great Korean teams, along with their most iconic idols, have made Korea the benchmark for participants of the Circuito Tormenta. This collaboration opens new doors of multi-level cooperation between the Tormenta Circuit, Riot Games and the Centro Cultural Coreano as well as the presence of the center in the largest event of gaming and immersive entertainment in Spain: GAMERGY Madrid 2024.
In the words of SHIN Jaekwang, director of the Centro Cultural Coreano: “Esports, with widespread popularity among young people around the world, is a prominent part of Korean culture driven by video game excellence and the success of Korean pro-gamers on the global stage. In Spain, the Circuito Tormenta fosters an amateur ecosystem that promotes esports culture. Our collaboration with GGTech Entertainment and Riot Games will encourage and sustain the development of young talent and cultural exchange between both countries”.
Circuito Tormenta, with almost seven years of history, is much more than a video game competition. It’s an inclusive and diverse space where thousands of players come together, a community that connects in a unique way, creating links no other experience can match.
