Nexon (CEO Lee Jung-hun) will hold the semi-final match of the '2023 eK League Championship Season 1', the top domestic regular league of the authentic online soccer game 'EA SPORTS FIFA Online 4' (hereinafter referred to as 'FIFA Online 4') developed by EA Korea Studio and serviced by the company, on the 17th.
The semi-final will be held at the AfreecaTV FreecUp Studio in Samsung-dong with a paid audience of 140 seats. After the finals, the final ranking of Season 1 will be determined based on cumulative points, and the 1st to 3rd place teams will advance to the next season of the eK League Championship, while the 4th to 7th place teams will have the opportunity to advance to the promotion and relegation match.
The winners of Match 1 and 2 of the semi-finals will advance to the finals, and the losers will advance to the 3rd and 4th place matches, which will be held in a best-of-three format including overtime and penalty shootouts. In the first semi-final match, Choi Ho-seok of Kwangdong Freecs and Kwak Jun-hyuk of KT Rolster, who faced off in the individual match in the '2022 eK League Championship Season 2' final, will face off again.
Attention is focused on whether Choi Ho-seok, who narrowly lost in the final last season, will win the revenge match against Kwak Jun-hyuk, or whether Kwak Jun-hyuk will maintain his dominance this time as well. In the second match, Park Chan-hwa of KT Rolster, who showed the best performance in this tournament, will face Min Tae-hwan of Elite, who eliminated Kim Si-kyung, a candidate for the championship. The key point is whether dark horse Min Tae-hwan will create an upset by defeating Park Chan-hwa, who has been steadily improving his skills, following Kim Si-kyung.
Meanwhile, KT Rolster has taken a step closer to winning the championship with Kwak Jun-hyuk and Park Chan-hwa advancing to the semi-finals, further solidifying their reputation as the winning team of the 'FIFA Online 4' international tournament 'EA Champions Cup Spring 2023'. Previously, Kwangdong Freecs had a history of winning the '2022 eK League Championship Season 1' with explosive offensive power, and Kwak Jun-hyuk led KT Rolster to victory by winning the individual competition in the '2022 eK League Championship Season 2', so the two teams will be competing for pride in this semi-final.
'2023 eK League Championship Season 1', which kicked off last April, has a total prize pool of 360 million KRW, including team operating expenses and Nexon Cash, and 8 teams including Kwangdong Freecs, FC Seoul, and KT Rolster are participating, with Logitech, a company specializing in personal peripherals, participating as a sponsor. Nexon is providing a 10 billion BP coupon to all users who visit the site this season, and will present a Logitech G wireless gaming combo (G435 SE+G304 SE) to the first 15 users who visit 15 times or more.
