The festival is to take place on the southern resort island of Jeju on Nov. 23-25, during which game players from 20 countries will compete for 12.4 million won ($11,130) prize money in three games ― League of Legends, Hearthstone and Penta Storm.
The foundation, co-chaired by former lawmaker Lee Kwang-jae and former Gyeonggi governor Nam Kyung-pin, started receiving applications on Monday. Applications will remain open until Sept. 22.
Applicants will have to prove their skills in multiple preliminary matches. The final roster will be announced on Nov. 10.
