The AI Esports Mastercup Series World Stage 2025/2026 is redefining competitive entertainment as the world’s first tournament format in which humans and artificial intelligence co-create, compete, and broadcast live in high-stakes creative challenges.

GEMS ESPORTS 3.0 PLATFORM following the regional success of Dota 2 Mastercup SEA 2023 and PUBG Mastercup SEA 2024, AI Esports Mastercup Series World Stage 2025/2026 continues to lead Southeast Asia’s innovation in live tournament experiences. These high-impact events, delivered by GEMS ESPORTS 3.0 PLATFORM, attracted tens of thousands of live viewers and demonstrated the team’s capacity to build scalable, high-engagement gaming platforms.

The Mastercup features six competition categories: Game Design, AI Painting, Music Composition, Fashion Design, Real-World Problem Solving, and Short Film Production. These challenges are scored not just for technical performance but for impact, originality, and the synergy between human creativity and advanced AI. Large language models (LLMs) integrated into the competition include ChatGPT, Gemini, Co-Pilot, Grok, DeepSeek and other LLM models.

The 2025–2026 roadmap includes regional university leagues, an open corporate tournament, and a Southeast Asia Grand Finale. Expansion into global markets across EMEA, LATAM, Europe, American and North Asia is scheduled for 2026.
