Team Korea emerged victorious once again, defeating Team Japan in the "Summoners War Korea-Japan Super Match 2025" and successfully defending their championship title.
Organized annually by Com2uS (CEO Jae-kwan Nam) since 2023, the "Summoners War Korea-Japan Super Match 2025" was held on March 8 at Space O in Tokyo, Japan. Fans crowded the venue from early on, creating an electrifying atmosphere to support their teams.
In Korea, approximately 200 enthusiastic fans gathered at a viewing party held at CGV IFC Mall in Yeouido, Seoul, to cheer on Team Korea and participate in various on-site events. The match was broadcast live via the official YouTube channels of both countries, with commentators Kim Kyu-hwan, Shim Yang-hong, and Skit providing lively insights and commentary in Korea.
The competition quickly heated up in the first segment. Team Korea's ZZI-SOONG secured a decisive 2-0 victory against Japan's KANITAMA in the "20-Star Battle." Japan briefly rallied back in the "2 vs. 2 Battle," as ETOWARU and VISHA10 overcame Korea's SCHOLES! and PURE.LUCK!. However, Team Korea clinched the segment as KUROMI triumphed against OSSERU in the critical "SWC Mode."
The second segment featured a "Winner-Stays-On" format, heightening the drama. Korea's IROHA opened strongly by defeating Japan’s OSADASAN but was halted by ETOWARU. Nonetheless, Korea's KUROMI displayed outstanding resilience, defeating ETOWARU and proceeding to single-handedly eliminate four more opponents, including the formidable OSSERU, securing victory for Team Korea and avenging their earlier loss in Tokyo during the inaugural event.
MVP honors, selected by players from opposing teams, went to KUROMI of Team Korea and ETOWARU of Team Japan. A total prize of $12,000 (approximately 17.4 million KRW) was awarded to Team Korea and both MVP players.
