If you have teenagers or music lovers in the family, the final day of the tournament holds a major bonus. Rising K-pop group LNGSHOT will be making a special appearance on Sunday, 28th June. The group will be performing a live set, engaging with event participants, and taking part in a special community outreach activity sponsored by the Karim Family Foundation.
What to Expect: The Tournament Breakdown
The tournament features 12 boys' teams and 12 girls' teams made up of top players aged 18 and under. The schedule transitions from intense round-robin group stages early in the week to high-stakes, single-elimination knockout matches as the weekend approaches.
Because it is held entirely indoors at the OCBC Arena, you do not have to worry about the unpredictable June weather or afternoon downpours cutting your family outing short.
BYKidO Pro-Tip: At just $4 a ticket, this event is highly likely to sell out, especially on the final weekend when the championship matches take place and LNGSHOT performs. Book your seats early via Ticketmaster to secure your spots.
