Merging Esports with Environmental Activism in Shiga

In an exciting blend of community involvement and competitive spirit, the 'e-Sports GOMI with SASAYURI FC SHIGA' event is set to take place on November 23, 2024. This unique initiative aims to connect environmental action with the engaging world of esports. Organized by SASAYURI FC SHIGA, a women's soccer club based in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, with operational support from Life Reversal Gaming, this event seeks to bring laughter and smiles to the local community through sports.

Life Reversal Gaming, headquartered in Bunkyo, Tokyo, is dedicated to fostering connections through gaming, taking a proactive stance in promoting environmental awareness alongside SASAYURI FC SHIGA's vision of becoming a local symbol reminiscent of the native 'Sasayuri' flower. This project marks a significant step forward in blending gaming culture with community service.

What is e-Sports GOMI?

The concept of e-Sports GOMI ingeniously combines the global issue of marine debris with the exhilarating nature of esports. By marrying competitive gaming elements with community service through litter picking, this initiative encourages awareness of environmental preservation. Participants form teams of three and compete in a race against time to gather specific types and amounts of garbage within a designated area, with points awarded based on their findings.

The synergy between teamwork and competitive enjoyment means that individuals of all ages can participate, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and fulfillment. As a member of the e-Sports GOMI organizing committee, Life Reversal Gaming continues to support SASAYURI FC SHIGA’s mission of contributing meaningfully to their community.
