Festival Favorites: Week 3 Review

Week 3 of the Esports World Cup Festival featured another round of great experiences for fans and players alike. The One Piece photo spot and origami classes in Japan Park were calm experiences, while the haunted house, publisher booths, and the rest of the esports action kept the energy high in the stc Gaming Hall and Content Creator Park areas.

Here’s a look at some of the top attractions of the week.

One Piece Photo Opportunity

Fans of Eiichiro Oda’s long-running series got to live out their dreams of being nakama with the Straw Hat Pirates thanks to Japan Park. The One Piece photo opportunity not only let visitors pose with Luffy’s Egghead Island outfit, but also featured a background pulled straight from that location on the Grand Line.

Haunted House

Folks were left guessing the stories behind each eerie setup, too. The experience struck a balance between thrilling and approachable, making it welcoming for visitors of all ages.

S8UL Booth

The stc Gaming Hall brought fans even closer to the esports action with booths, games, and live qualifiers galore. The special S8UL booth there featured Team SouL, one of India’s top PUBG Mobile teams. Fans gathered to connect with each other over Team SouL’s recent success, as the players took home the gold in the Haier G-League and BGMI Masters Series Season 3.

Origami Class

There’s something special about turning simple sheets of paper into something new. The origami classes at Japan Park gave visitors a chance to create flowers, animals, vases, and more. Learning how to transform paper into delicate shapes brought smiles all around. The activity also gave folks a peaceful pause from the festival’s busy atmosphere.
