In Japan, e-sports has been hosting many large-scale events and tournaments for several years now, and is playing a role in revitalizing companies and communities. In July 2022, Rakuten Group, Inc. embarked on the e-sports business, which also became a hot topic. Although this was the first event of its kind, the extravagant lineup of performers and prizes were so impressive that one could say, " As expected of Rakuten...! " and the details of the second event have finally been announced! The 2nd "Rakuten esports cup - Home Appliances Competition" will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2022!

The 2nd "Rakuten esports cup
The first "Rakuten esports cup" held on Saturday, July 23, 2022 had the largest number of simultaneous viewers at about 191,000. The team of Depp (@depp0923), Kanon Acetate (@Ts0___ ), and V.I.P. (@vip_japanA) won the first prize, and received 500,000 Rakuten points and other "goodies" including nodoguro, peaches, and muskmelons. The second contest was the "Rakuten" contest.
The second contest was the "Rakuten esports cup: The Battle for Home Appliances," so it looks like there will be gaming PCs and peripherals that you can't have enough of. The title of this year's event will again be "Apex Legends," and as of this writing on Friday, November 25, 2022, 55 players have been announced for the event.
