The Thailand-based finals featured 64 local teams and over 600 participants. The Thai team Thereaper won the championship, while China's TKBU secured second place. Santi Lorthong, president of the Thailand E-Sports Federation, attended the event, noting that the competition creates professional career paths and serves as a connection for youth from both countries.
The event highlighted growing cooperation between vocational institutions in China and Thailand. Esports, as a widely shared competitive medium, enables cross-border interaction through a unified operational framework. Fujian plans to expand its international esports programs, linking vocational training with cultural and industrial exchange between China and Thailand.
