Underway today, October 30, and running through November 8, the festival brings GOP back to a fitting stage for its final showdown of 2026.

Earlier this season, Incheon witnessed its share of unforgettable moments, from Lester Edoc finally ending his Gauntlet drought to Marc Rivera becoming the tour's first multiple-Gauntlet winner.

Then came the Main Event drama, where twists and turns stopped Edoc in 10th place and Yi Cheng Lo's title hopes shattered by a brutal cooler, opening the door for Kyung Min Lee to claim the crown.

Relive these triumphs, heartbreaks, and outrageous twists via the stories from the tournament floor and the recorded livestream on GOP YouTube.

Now, the stage is set for one last showdown, with GOP's iconic Gauntlets up for grabs and one final Main Event title to be claimed before the curtain falls on 2026.

Let's have a quick look at what’s in store.

Who Will Become the Final GOP 2026 Main Event Champion

GOP Incheon: The Labyrinth Trail packs 76 events into ten days, all featuring the brand's signature Cronus Structure. Five coveted Gauntlets are on the line and a Main Event backed by a KR₩ 600 Million guarantee.

During the previous edition, the Main Event comfortably surpassed that figure, awarding its champion nearly KR₩ 150 Million.

With another hefty top prize assured, that’s plenty of incentive for the international field to turn out in force.

And speaking of turning out in force, the Japanese contingent made its presence felt during the last visit and is already showing signs of another strong turnout. Other flag-bearers are also scattered in today's opening games including GOP regular, USA's Yohn Paredes.

Ryoma Yamamoto

One player to watch is Ryoma Yamamoto who won the GOP Incheon I Olympians plus a side event, then reached the Main Event final table. At this time, he has yet to make his way to the felt.
