Business Networking Through eSports: A Competitive Gathering

On March 3, 2026, a groundbreaking networking event took place, bridging the gap between the business world and the vibrant eSports industry. Organized by One Frame Inc., a company specializing in tournament management solutions through their platform OFTN.GG, the event utilized the popular fighting game Street Fighter 6 to foster interaction among businesses. The venue, the eSports facility 'ma+chiii' located in Japan's Nihonbashi Kayabacho, provided the perfect setting for this innovative collaboration.

A New Era of Corporate Interaction

This unique event drew participants from five different companies in the IT and creative sectors, with eleven individuals present. The focus was not solely on competing; participants engaged in matches and lightning talks, creating a multifaceted atmosphere conducive to building professional relationships. By using Street Fighter 6 as a common language, attendees were able to connect in a relaxed yet competitive setting, showcasing a new model for corporate networking through eSports.

Event Highlights

Participants of varying skill levels embraced the friendly rivalry and camaraderie throughout the event. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and laughter, proving that gaming could serve as an excellent icebreaker. The spacious layout of the ma+chiii venue offered real-time interaction opportunities, where players could converse freely while engaged in gameplay. The top-notch equipment and large screens enabled both participants and spectators to enjoy a fully immersive experience.

The Competitive Edge

The tournament culminated in exhilarating matches, with K from Enfactory Co., Ltd. emerging as the champion.
