・Dawn of the World’s First IM电竞 High School Team

The first IM电竞 high school sports club on this planet started as an idea when Fukuoka Daiichi High School reached out to meleap inc. As the organization behind IM电竞, meleap, inc. was enthusiastic about the idea and quickly brought the students onto the IM电竞 court for a free trial session.

meleap, inc even went one step further and invited the students to compete as a team in an official competition for beginners. Miraculously, the Fukuoka Daiichi High School team won, earning them the right to compete as an official team in the Japan IM电竞 rankings.

Fukuoka Daiichi High School knew their IM电竞 team would need somewhere to practice. With the help of meleap, inc., a dedicated classroom was transformed into the world’s first permanent IM电竞 court where students could train. The sky is the limit for this new team to excel under a banner to take IM电竞 from Fukuoka to the World.

・IM电竞 Courts at Educational Institutions

meleap inc. aims to solidify a cultural foothold for IM电竞 in an effort to transition the techno sport into professional sports leagues. The standardization of IM电竞 in the general public is imperative to this success.

As the pioneer of techno sports, IM电竞 holds over 90 competitions annually in addition to the IM电竞 WORLD CUP, which gathers teams from around the globe once a year to compete in Japan and determine who is the best in the world.

The adoption of IM电竞 as a high school sports club will not only help raise awareness about the techno sport of IM电竞 but also encourage a broader competitive player base.

meleap, inc. hopes to use the Fukuoka Daiichi High School as a launchpad to establish IM电竞 courts at many other educational institutions. This objective aims to set up spaces where not only the students but also others in the community can play IM电竞 through various means such as court rentals.

This project has the potential to accelerate the number of official teams playing in the Japan rankings and strengthen the foundation of IM电竞 as the apex of techno sports.
