Gods of Poker Begins a New Chapter in Taipei

Posted November 8, 2026 by Hannah Matibag

The next chapter begins in Taipei.

Gods of Poker launches its 2027 season in Taipei from February 12–22, right after Chinese New Year, in partnership with CTP at the Asia Poker Arena. The season opener will feature a Main Event buy-in of NTD 41,800 and NTD 15,000,000 guaranteed.

2026 was the Year of Creation.

We brought the Gods to life—Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Cronus and more—each representing a different chapter, power and identity of Gods of Poker.

It was the year we built our foundation, introduced our vision and began creating a new tournament experience for players across Asia.

Reflecting on that first year, GOP Founder Lloyd Fontillas shared:

“Thank you to all the players who supported us throughout our first year! We’re looking forward to growing our player numbers throughout 2027, starting in Taipei from February 12–22, in partnership with CTP at the Asia Poker Arena. Your support has helped build this journey, and we can’t wait to share the next chapter with you!”

In 2027, the story continues with what the Gods created.

From Perseus, son of Zeus, to the mighty Heracles (Hercules). From Achilles and Theseus, to Odysseus, Orpheus, Jason, Atalanta and Helen of Troy—the heroes, demigods and legends of Greek mythology now take center stage.

Their stories of courage, strength, wisdom and determination will inspire the next chapter of Gods of Poker. Every destination will introduce a new legend, inviting players to create a story of their own.

That same spirit will guide the continued evolution of GOP.

The Cronus Structure will continue to evolve, building on our philosophy of giving players more meaningful play while eliminating unnecessary hours.

Tournament formats will evolve. New concepts will be created. Player experience, presentation and innovation will continue to move forward.

Just as the Gods created heroes destined to become legends, GOP will continue creating and evolving the next generation of tournament poker.

Join us in Taipei as the next chapter begins.
