Nexon will introduce a club franchise in the 'FC Online' esports league this year and expand into a sustainable and stable league by building a league ecosystem and strengthening expertise. Accordingly, the association plans to promote multi-faceted collaboration with Nexon to operate a stable 'FC online' league and find prospects.
First of all, the association dispatches professional e-sports referees to the FC Online Super Champions League (FSL)', the nation's top league, to manage fair game management. In addition, prospects for the 'FC Online' will be discovered at the Presidential Cup Amateur Esports Competition (Presidential Cup KeG) hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the association.
The association will adopt 'FC Online' as an official event for the presidential cup KeG, and will give it an opportunity to advance to the professional league after discovering amateur players with the best skills in the country. The top-ranked representatives in the national finals of the Presidential Cup KeG will be seeded in the second division, the FC Online Futures League (FFL). Thirty-two people, including professional aspirants and club reserve players, will participate in 'FFL' to perform, and after the end of the league, they can get a chance to play 'FSL' through the transfer market.
In addition, associations such as middle and high school leagues (tentative name) and university leagues and Nexon will work together to lay the foundation for amateur players to grow through continuous cooperation this year. Through this, it will create synergy in fostering prospects and support more players to leap to the professional stage.
Meanwhile, the '2025 FC Online Super Champions League Spring' will be held at the DN Coliseum in Jamsil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, from March 31 to June 14. The total prize money is 1 billion won, and the top two teams will be offered a ticket to the international competition 'FC Pro Masters'.
