The World Cyber Games (WCG) is returning to Indonesia with a larger and more diverse experience through the WCG 2025 Festival, scheduled for December 12–14, 2025 at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of WCG, celebrated under the slogan “The Biggest Creator Festival in the World.”
Previously known as the “Olympics of esports,” WCG has evolved into a multi-experience festival that brings together global creators with a combined following of more than 400 million fans worldwide.
The festival will kick off with Creator Rumble Indonesia, a competitive board-game tournament unique to WCG that pushes participants to showcase teamwork and strategic thinking. A total of 64 local creators divided into 16 teams will compete, offering exciting and unpredictable moments for fans.
The competition will then expand to the global stage through the Creator Rumble Global, featuring 16 creator teams from 10 countries, including Korea, Thailand, India, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Jordan, Iraq, Tunisia, and Vietnam.
Some of the participating top creators include:
~ Dean KT from Indonesia
~ Leading creators from the Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India
~ TesterHoon Team from Korea, winners of the 2025 Korea National Showdown
All matches will be broadcast not only on WCG’s official channels but also on the personal platforms of each creator, giving fans the freedom to enjoy multiple viewing perspectives.
