NAVER's streaming platform CHZZK announced that it will live stream all matches of the Demacia Cup Global Invitational 2026 (DCGI), featuring 12 teams from six regions, running from October 3 to 17. The total prize pool is approximately 300 million won.
DCGI is an international League of Legends (LoL) esports tournament featuring teams from Korea's LCK, China's LPL, Europe's LEC, North America's LCS, Asia-Pacific's LCP, and Brazil's CBLOL. From the LCK, KT Rolster, BNK FEARX, and Hanjin BRION will compete against international teams.
The tournament begins with an online Swiss Stage running from October 3 to 8 (KST). The Knockout Stage, featuring the top eight teams, will take place in Beijing, China, progressing through the quarterfinals on October 12–13 and the semifinals on October 14–15, concluding with the grand final on October 17.
CHZZK will broadcast all matches in real time on the official LCK channel. It will also host co-streaming sessions open to any CHZZK streamer, pairing live commentary with real-time chat. For the organizer's official Chinese broadcast, AI-powered Korean subtitles will be supported.
In October 2025, CHZZK broadcast the Asia Invitational (ASI) 2025, which featured eight teams from three Asian leagues. At that time, the tournament broadcast accumulated a total of 5.37 million cumulative viewers.
Geon-beom Ju, NAVER's Entertainment Leader, said, "As DCGI is an international tournament where LCK teams will go head-to-head with teams from various regions, including Europe and North America, CHZZK will support fans with full live broadcasts, streamer co-streaming, and AI-powered Korean subtitles so that they can easily understand international teams' playstyles and enjoy supporting their favorite teams in this challenge." He added, "Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen CHZZK's unique community-driven viewing experience—leveraging global esports content, NAVER's technical capabilities, and streamers' distinctive commentary—allowing fans to share real-time reactions and cheer together during key moments of every match."
