The “RIG CUSTOM Pokémon UNITE” tournament is set to take place on December 21, 2025, marking a significant event in the e-sports calendar. Organized by REIGNITE, this casual custom tournament aims to foster growth and excitement within the gaming community by featuring the popular title, Pokémon UNITE. Participants will have the unique opportunity to compete against members of the REIGNITE team, who are also taking part in the upcoming Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2026.
Leading the REIGNITE representation will be notable players @rawomenmenmen_10 and @orszxl, giving competitors a chance to engage with professional players in a casual setting. This event promises to showcase matchups that are rarely seen in standard competitions, enhancing the overall spectator experience.
The tournament will be broadcast live on the official REIGNITE YouTube channel, starting at 15:00 JST. As the event date approaches, viewers and participants alike are encouraged to stay informed via REIGNITE’s official channels, including their account on X (@ReigniteJP).
Currently, teams are being recruited for the RIG CUSTOM tournament, which is open to anyone aged 16 and older, regardless of their rank in Pokémon UNITE. Competitors are invited to gather groups of 5-6 friends to experience the thrill of facing off against established pro players. This inclusive format aims to bridge the gap between casual and competitive play, allowing for an engaging experience for all participants.
The tournament will follow a single elimination format, with matches structured as a best-of-three series, except for the first round, which will be a single game. Teams will have a maximum of three rounds to prove their skill and strategy, adding an element of intensity to each match. The deadline for team entries is set for 23:59 JST on December 18, 2025. Interested teams can submit their applications through the RIG CUSTOM entry form available on the official tournament page.
This initiative by REIGNITE not only enhances the competitive landscape for Pokémon UNITE but also encourages community engagement and camaraderie among players. As the e-sports scene continues to grow, events like RIG CUSTOM serve as vital platforms for players to showcase their talents and gain exposure. The blend of casual competition with professional participation highlights the dynamic nature of the gaming community and sets the stage for future developments in the e-sports ecosystem.
