After many successful WCG competitions, the Samsung Electronic Cup WCG World E-sports Competition was affirmed and supported in China.

WCG(World Cyber Games) is a global online game competition.

WCG was founded in 2000, led by South Korean chaebol Samsung and supported by the South Korean government. Held once a year, the first session was held in 200 1.

WCG chooses several competitions as official competitions every year, but it is full of various considerations:

Whether it is popular in Korea and whether Korean players can win;

Sponsored by the manufacturer;

Prevalence in different places

Although WCG claims to be a "world-class" competition, the first four competitions, including the challenge, are held in South Korea, and the most favorable events for Korean players will be selected. Therefore, StarCraft, known as Korea's "national drama", is selected every year.

The sponsorship of manufacturers is also one of the reasons that affect the game project. The Age of Empires series has always been the strong point of Taiwan Province Province. It was won by the "Video Game Kid" of Taiwan Province Province in the first session, but in 2004 it was replaced by Xbox by 2(Project Gotham Racing 2 (also Microsoft). There are EA, Atari, Sierra, Blizzard and so on. , but also carved up the competition, other companies' games almost did not appear.

In addition, WCG holds "exhibition games" every year, and the games in the exhibition games are all made in Korea, so as to promote related industries in Korea.
