Comment from KURI

"Personally, my performance wasn't great today, but Kamikura winning so many matches for us led to our victory. We were a team that often went into overtime during the qualifiers and fought our way up with gritty determination. I'm glad we could win against Kyoto Bunkyo University, who have strong members, with a team that worked this hard."

Comment from Ossan

"I want to say thank you to Ambassador Naruo, who gave me advice right before the match, saying, 'It's better to be very aggressive.' Thanks to Naruo, I was able to use invincible moves and win without being too intimidated, even at critical moments. I also want to express my gratitude to the people in Nagoya who watched the stream and supported us."

"We formed a strong team, but the sense of security in the final match was incredible. I felt it was amazing how we dominated. Since I hadn't spoken with the other two members yet, I would be happy if being on the same team in this tournament becomes an opportunity for us to become friends."

Comment from muneyuu

"I'm relieved that I was able to successfully achieve a revenge victory two years in the making. When I participated as a sophomore, I was frustrated by losing to Kindai University, so the three of us practiced very hard. As a result, I'm happy we could win. Since I'm currently a junior, I want to participate in Mynabi eSports College again next year. I will use the prize money to do something nice for my parents!"

Comment from Mynabi, the Tournament Organizer

"The Mynabi eSports College: All Japan Intercollegiate eSports Championship 2026 is held to create a place where all university students who enjoy esports can improve with their peers and realize the value of serious competition. Esports has grown beyond the simple framework of games into a serious competitive sport that requires diverse skills, such as tactical understanding, instantaneous judgment, and communication. In the 2026 tournament, we once again adopted the popular titles Street Fighter 6 and Apex Legends, providing a wide range of opportunities through the University Competition and Friends categories. Through the practical format of qualifiers and finals, I hope this becomes an opportunity for students to test their strength while gaining the rich experiences of cooperation, challenge, and growth unique to university life."
