The regional qualifiers for the “Summoners War World Arena Championship 2026 (SWC2026)” have concluded, completing the lineup for the tournament’s upcoming offline regional cups.

Organized by Com2uS, SWC is the global esports competition for its popular mobile RPG “Summoners War: Sky Arena.” Now in its 10th edition, the tournament brings together top players from around the world in a race to become the game’s ultimate champion.

The final qualifying matches in Korea, Japan and the Americas wrapped up over the weekend, with several returning veterans and rising players securing spots in the next stage.

In Korea, ECK and BEAT.D earned places in the Asia-Pacific Cup. ECK advanced in dominant fashion, recording consecutive 3-0 victories through the later stages of the qualifiers. BEAT.D, the 2018 SWC champion, battled through the lower bracket after an early loss before defeating PRIMA 3-1 in the final to claim the second ticket.

Japan will be represented by OSADASAN and VISHA. Veteran player OSADASAN secured his place through the winner’s bracket, while VISHA, the MVP of the recent Summoners War Korea-Japan Super Match, fought through the lower bracket to complete the Japanese lineup.

The Americas qualifiers also produced four additional qualifiers on the final day: ZEZAS, ZEDORUS, DIRMO and TRUEWHALE. They join JIWOOFAN, COISO, THOMPSIN and SAPPYYY, who had already secured their places earlier in the competition, bringing the Americas Cup roster to eight players.

With all regional qualifiers now complete, attention turns to the offline regional cups, where players will compete for places at the SWC2026 World Finals.

The European Cup will take place in Hamburg, Germany, on September 26, followed by the Americas Cup in Toronto, Canada, on October 11. The Asia-Pacific Cup is scheduled for October 17 in Bangkok, Thailand.

As SWC celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, the regional cups are expected to draw heightened attention from the global “Summoners War” community as the competition moves closer to crowning its next world champion.

All SWC2026 qualifier matches were streamed live on the official “Summoners War” esports YouTube channel and are available for replay.
