Masahiro Izumisawa, Representative Executive President, Levtech Inc.
Last year, we had the honor of being a special sponsor for 'EVO Japan' for the first time, and I was deeply moved by the excitement and passion generated by players and fans from all over the world. Gaming is a creative industry that generates global enthusiasm, and supporting this stage are engineers and creators with technology and a spirit of challenge.
This year, our second year of sponsorship, we are going beyond merely supporting the tournament to launch a new project, 'VRoad,' which will create opportunities for creators to take on the world. We hope that EVO Japan will be a new step forward for all challengers, and we will continue to give them our full support.
