Event

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!

(@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.
