Pro esports team FENNEL will hold a joint corporate briefing for gamers in Okayama on July 12, 2026. The event, GCEXPO 2026 in Okayama, features esports battle booths where students can play and be scouted by eight local companies. It is the second edition of the series, following a January event in Sapporo.
FENNEL, a Japanese pro esports organization founded in 2019, is organizing the second GCEXPO job fair, this time in Okayama under the city's official endorsement. The free event, capped at 100 students, includes a joint corporate briefing area where eight companies ranging from engineering to retail will set up booths. A separate esports battle zone will let attendees play a popular competitive title, with the possibility that watching recruiters may approach strong performers.
Organizers are providing a free shuttle bus from Okayama Station for up to 80 pre-registered participants. The schedule runs from 12:30 PM to 6:00 PM local time, alternating briefing sessions with exhibition matches. Students from the classes of 2027 and 2028 are eligible, regardless of major.
