Join the Exciting eSports and Clean-Up Event in Okinawa!

In an innovative initiative combining eSports with environmental stewardship, the 'eSports GOMI with Ryukyu Corazon: RYUKYU e SPORTS & ECO GRAND PRIX 2026' is set to kick off in Okinawa. Hosted by the professional handball team Ryukyu Corazon and organized by Life Reversal Gaming and various partners, this unique event promises both fun and a meaningful impact on the environment.

Situated in the vibrant locale of Okinawa, the event features a series of competitions that integrate eSports gameplay with community responsibilities, particularly focused on cleaning up litter. The competitive yet cooperative format encourages participants to embody the spirit of teamwork while contributing positively to their surroundings.

What is eSports GOMI?

eSports GOMI is an environment-focused event that merges the thrill of gaming with the critical need for local clean-up efforts. Teams of three will compete to collect as much garbage as possible within a designated area and time limit, earning points based on the amount and type of litter collected. The combination of physical activity and eSports elements creates an enjoyable experience for participants of all ages.

This year marks a special milestone as the initiative is no longer just a one-off event but part of a broader community revitalization project named RYUKYU e SPORTS & ECO GRAND PRIX 2026. The project aims to spread awareness about environmental issues while promoting clean living and sporting activities. After a successful run starting in 2022, the event has evolved, incorporating popular gaming competitions like Brawl Stars and aligning with handball matches to attract a broader audience.
