The streaming platform 'SOOP' heated up as Nexon's soccer game league and a major event converged. On August 31st at 7 PM, the platform was filled with energy as the team launch ceremony and team leader discussion for the '2026 FCL (FC Online Creator League)', Nexon's flagship soccer game influencer tournament, were broadcast live.

Top-tier creators such as Gamst, Wakgoodaejang Bongjun, Kim Min-gyo, and Lee Sang-ho participated in this tournament. Tens of thousands of viewers flocked to the stream simultaneously to watch the first official event of the teams they lead, and the 200 million KRW cash drops event organized by Nexon further fueled the excitement. Because viewers could earn limited coupons and in-game cash just by watching, there was a massive influx of users keeping multiple streams open to collect rewards.

This coincided with positive news for the SOOP platform and a schedule of major sports broadcasts. On the same day, SOOP announced its list of 62 'August Best Streamers' and held commemorative broadcasts, followed by the live stream of the '2026 Lier 3-Cushion Billiards World Cup' which kicked off in Belgium. Matches involving star Korean players like Cho Myung-woo and Kim Haeng-jik were broadcast in real-time, drawing in not only gaming fans but also traditional sports fans.

SOOP, which is solidifying its brand awareness following its rebranding, has made a clear impression through the successful start of this FCL and its diverse content lineup. It will be worth watching what kind of buzz will continue as the fierce league between creators has just begun.
