WEMADE and Razer Unite for YMIR Cup 2026

WEMADE has announced a partnership with Razer to host the YMIR Cup World Championship, a major esports event for the Legend of YMIR community.
The hybrid tournament will take place at Razer’s Southeast Asia headquarters and will be streamed across multiple global platforms.
Organizers aim to establish the Norse‑themed MMORPG as a long‑term competitive title through structured league play and international matchups.

A New Global Stage for Legend of YMIR

WEMADE confirmed that the YMIR Cup World Championship will run from February 28 to March 1, 2026, at the Razer SEA HQ in Singapore. The event is designed as a hybrid competition, combining on‑site matches with online participation to support a global audience. Organizers intend for the tournament to serve as a foundation for a future large‑scale league built around the Legend of YMIR IP. This structure reflects WEMADE’s broader goal of cultivating a sustained competitive ecosystem for the Unreal Engine 5 MMORPG.

League matches leading up to the finals will take place weekly from December 26, 2025, through February 6, 2026. Champions from each division will advance to the World Championship, where the strongest server and clan will be determined. Clan members can join remotely through a dedicated tournament server, ensuring broad participation across regions. The final winner will also compete in a special Legend Match against the champion of Korea’s second YMIR Cup.

Razer will supply the official esports peripherals for all competitors. Players will use devices such as the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, Huntsman V3 Pro and BlackShark V3 Pro, which are widely adopted by professional esports teams. These peripherals are known for low latency, fast actuation and ergonomic design. Their inclusion aims to ensure consistent performance standards across all matches.

Community Growth and Competitive Rewards

WEMADE highlighted the organic expansion of the Legend of YMIR community as a key factor behind the tournament’s development. Participation in partner servers and weekly battles has demonstrated strong engagement among players. Company leaders expressed enthusiasm about channeling this momentum into a global championship supported by Razer’s infrastructure. The partnership is intended to elevate competitive standards and bring top players together on an international stage.

Participants in both league matches and the World Championship will be eligible for substantial in‑game rewards. Depending on final placement, clans can earn up to US$1,000,000 worth of Diamonds, YMIR Points and Legendary Summon Tickets. Exclusive YMIR Cup gear with bonus stats will also be available to competitors. These incentives are designed to encourage long‑term involvement and reward high‑performing teams.

Live coverage of the event will be streamed across YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Gaming and Bilibili. This multi‑platform approach aims to maximize accessibility for global viewers. The tournament will conclude with an award ceremony on March 1, 2026. Organizers expect the hybrid format to support both local attendance and international engagement.

Industry Context and Partner Backgrounds

WEMADE brings more than two decades of AAA game development experience to the event.
