[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Sacheon City Youth Center in Gyeongnam announced on the 1st that it is recruiting youth participants for the 'Banggu-seok Youth L.O.L Cup' e-sports tournament until the 12th.

This tournament, held for local youth, is a middle school league open to any youth team composed of five members aged 14 to 16.

Preliminary registration can be done via Naver Form, and registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for 8 teams.

The tournament will be conducted through an online-only platform. The preliminary round (on the 19th) will be a single-elimination tournament with one match per round, and the final (on the 26th) will be a best-of-three series to determine the champion.

The final will take place at the Youth Center's first-floor free space (PC area), and the first-place winner will receive a prize of 150,000 KRW, with second and third places also receiving respective prizes.

The Youth Center planned this tournament reflecting youth opinions gathered during a survey on non-face-to-face programs, and plans to operate it so that youth who cannot participate can also enjoy it together.

For more details about the tournament, please refer to the Youth Center website or contact Sacheon City Youth Center.

Director Kim Jae-jun said, "There is much regret over youth participation in cultural activities due to COVID-19," and added, "I hope they find joy and vitality in life through healthy e-sports."
