Brought together by the Esports Foundation to present the Club Partner Program 2026, T1, Gen.G and All Gamers spent most of the session explaining how the EWC fits into their business strategy.
On April 27, the Esports Foundation (EF, formerly EWCF) held an online press conference alongside three of its partner clubs. Hans Jagnow, Director of Club and Player Relations, ran the session. Facing him: Ahn Woong-ki (T1 COO), Arnold Hur (Gen.G CEO) and Eddie Chen (All Gamers COO).
For T1, Ahn Woong-ki set a clear target: reaching a one-billion-dollar valuation, five times the current level. The COO is banking on Faker's aura to bring non-esports audiences to the EWC, and on multi-title expansion to reassure sponsors and investors. Counter-Strike and Dota are on the table. Vietnam was also flagged as a key market.
