[TGS2025] Battle Against a Pro Gamer on a Giant Keyboard! Red Bull Booth Report from Taipei Game Show 2025!

Many game companies' booths were bustling at the Taipei Game Show 2025 (hereafter, TGS2025), held in Taipei from January 23 to 26, 2025, but the popular energy drink Red Bull also had a presence, which is a perfect fit for gaming.

The synergy between gaming, esports, and energy drinks is exceptional! As Saiga NAK, an esports media outlet that reviews energy drinks, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to cover the Red Bull booth at TGS2025.
So, here's our report from the Red Bull booth at TGS2025, detailing the day's events.

A Giant Keyboard at the Booth!

We immediately headed to the Red Bull booth. The booth exterior read "RED BULL ENERGY ZONE"—it certainly looked like a place to get energized.
Red Bull was being handed out for free outside the booth, so you could keep chugging it down for as long as you wanted.

Inside the booth was a giant keyboard! What in the world is this...? Can we play on it?
Of course, we can! But since one person can't operate such a massive keyboard alone, two people play collaboratively.

Battle a Pro Gamer on a Giant Keyboard!

One day, an event was held where attendees could challenge pro gamer Oil King (@LeevyLin) in Street Fighter 6, with prizes for winners.
The challengers played on the unfamiliar giant keyboard in a two-person cooperative setup, while Oil King used a regular arcade stick.
You might think there's no way they could win, but of course, handicaps were applied.
The handicaps varied, such as playing with one hand, and the difficulty was also adjusted. This gave challengers a chance to defeat the pro!

Challengers checked the keyboard's feel before the match.

Since it was cooperative play with two people controlling one character, the partners held a strategy meeting beforehand.
While other challengers seemed to take on the challenge out of curiosity, these two looked serious. They were clearly aiming for a win.

With the challengers' seriousness, pro gamer Oil King met them with his full effort.

Let the Battle Begin!

The match began! Looking closely, it's quite surreal. The challengers definitely had a higher hurdle to clear...

But the challengers were determined to win!

With perfectly synchronized teamwork, they overwhelmed Oil King!

A Splendid Victory Over Oil King!

And then, the challengers splendidly defeated Oil King! They earned a prize for beating a pro gamer!
That must have been a great feeling! That concludes our report on the Red Bull booth at Taipei Game Show 2025!
