Sponsored by iPoker and organised in partnership with Landing Entertainment Korea, the debut festival promises 78 tournaments with total guarantees of KRW 2 billion (~USD 1.5 million).
Alongside the competition, players will compete for mythology-inspired trophies designed to reflect the series’ theme.
Half of the prize pool is allocated to the Main Event, underscoring GOP’s emphasis on meaningful competition and a player-first philosophy.
Across 10 days of play, the schedule includes a broad mix of tournaments, from daily High Roller events and Aphrodite’s women’s tournaments to Mystery Bounties, Mixed Games, and an extensive set of satellites running throughout the festival.
The GOP Main Event
The highlight of Eden Awakens is the KRW 1 billion (~USD 725,000) guaranteed Main Event, structured to combine prestige with fairness.
At its core is GOP’s Cronus Structure, developed to ensure pace, equity, and depth of play from the very beginning.
