[공동 성명] 대한민국 e스포츠 국가대표 ENC26 참가 합의

한국e스포츠협회(KeSPA)와 e스포츠재단(Esports Foundation)은 체계적인 국제 대회를 통해 e스포츠의 장기적 성장을 지원한다는 공동 비전을 바탕으로, 2026 e스포츠 네이션스 컵(Esports Nations Cup 2026)을 위한 파트너십을 지속하고 공동의 방향성을 이어가기로 합의했습니다.

양측은 가치, 운영 기준, 국가대표팀 구조에 대해 뜻을 같이하며, KeSPA가 한국 내에서 보유한 전문성과 권한을 인정하는 가운데 KeSPA가 국가대표 파트너(National Team Partner)로서 한국 국가대표 선발을 주도하기로 합의했습니다.

한국 국가대표 선수들은 공식 ‘대한민국 e스포츠 국가대표(Team Korea of Esports)’ 명칭 아래 대회에 참가하게 됩니다. 한국 국가대표 코치진과 선수들의 선발 과정은 전문적 공정성과 파트너 양측의 규정 및 대회 기준에 맞추어 계속 진행됩니다.

KeSPA의 경험과 리더십, 그리고 국제 e스포츠 발전에 대한 기여는 e스포츠 무브먼트가 전 세계적으로 인정받는 데 중요한 역할을 해왔습니다. e스포츠재단과 KeSPA 파트너십의 공동 우선순위는 대한민국의 뛰어난 선수들이 글로벌 무대에서 기량과 우수성을 선보일 수 있도록 하는 것입니다.

e스포츠 네이션스 컵은 100개 이상의 국가 및 지역에 걸친 국제 이해관계자, 게임 퍼블리셔, 생태계 리더들과의 협력을 통해 개발된 새로운 글로벌 대회이며, 양측은 ENC26에서 대한민국 e스포츠 국가대표팀의 의미 있는 참가를 기대하고 있습니다.

ESIC has concluded its investigation into Team SENZA / “-72C” / “ROSY” (CCT Season 3 Europe, June 2025).

Findings include:
• Kirsan “byek” Ivanov: 2-year sanction for account-sharing / identity-related cheating misconduct

• Petr “timeagento” Markheev, Spiridon “spira” Popov, Vladislav “malenta” Lazarev, Stepan “borosto” Antonov, Aleksandr “1nhuman” Reshetnikov: 12-month sanctions for non-cooperation with the ESIC Investigation

• Team SENZA: $20,000 penalty for organisational non-cooperation with the ESIC Investigation

Participants committed a breach of the ESIC Integrity Program when failing to adequately respond to formal ESIC information requests, preventing a full assessment of broader integrity concerns.
