[Edaily Reporter An Yu-ri ] Com2uS Corporation(078340)’s global esports tournament, the “Summoners War World Arena Championship 2026 (SWC2026),” concluded successfully with a sold-out crowd. In this tournament, TARS, representing China, claimed victory and lifted the trophy.

Com2uS Corporation announced on the 14th that at the SWC2026 World Finals held at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, TARS defeated Brazil’s ZEZAS with a set score of 4-0 to claim the championship. This marks his return to the world’s pinnacle four years after winning the 2022 Seoul tournament, securing his second career trophy.

“SWC” is a global esports festival that determines the strongest “Summoners War” summoner, and this year marks its 10th edition. It is a rare achievement in the gaming industry for a single mobile game title to have sustained a global tournament for 10 consecutive years. This not only demonstrates the tournament’s long-term success but also highlights the robust global fanbase of “Summoners War.”

TARS, who advanced to the World Finals by finishing first in the Chinese regional qualifiers, defeated European player OBABO in the second round of the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, they faced GLE—who had caused a sensation this year—and secured a 3-2 victory after a hard-fought battle that went to five sets, advancing to the finals.

In the finals, TARS took the initiative with their monster selection and ban strategy, putting pressure on ZEZAS. They clinched the championship by winning four sets in a row. TARS was awarded the championship trophy and a prize of $100,000 (approximately 134 million won). Runner-up ZEZAS received $20,000, while joint third-place finishers GLE and SAPPYYY each received $10,000.

This year’s tournament marks the tenth edition of the SWC, which was launched in 2017. Twelve players who advanced through regional qualifiers and the main event competed in a single-elimination format. This is the first time the World Finals have been held in Seoul in four years, since 2022.

Tickets for in-person attendance sold out immediately after going on sale. Approximately 1,000 spectators attended the event, and all matches were globally live-streamed with commentary in 12 languages.

At the awards ceremony, Nam Jae-kwan, CEO of Com2uS Corporation, said, “It is thanks to your unwavering interest and passion that the SWC has grown into a global esports festival over the past 10 years,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to ensure that Summoners War fans around the world can enjoy and connect with one another.”
