Gods of Poker Series Unveiled: A New Era for Asian Poker Tournaments

Poker enthusiasts across Asia have reason to be excited: the Gods of Poker (GOP) series has officially been announced. The new tour, backed by notable figures such as Hong Kong businessman Timothy Chen and professional player Sam Truang, aims to create a player-friendly experience that balances structure and excitement.

The GOP will feature three flagship events:

• Eden Awakens, scheduled for 5–14 December 2025 in Jeju, South Korea
• The Titan Assembly from 8–18 January 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan
• The Coiled Path, taking place 26 March – 5 April 2026 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

These events promise sizable prize pools and expect to attract both regional and international players.

One of the standout features of the GOP series is its proprietary “Cronus Structure.” Designed with fairness and competitive balance in mind, registration closes after just two levels—a change meant to discourage late entry that can distort stack sizes. Additionally, early blind levels follow an extended 120-60-30 scheme, offering deeper stacks and more playtime for all participants. Organizers believe that this structure will keep the pace brisk without forcing players into high-variance situations too early.

By combining these structural changes with luxurious venues and a focus on hospitality, the GOP hopes to set a new standard for Asian poker festivals. Organizers have hinted that the 2026 calendar may expand further, potentially including more stops across Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

With its inaugural season set to kick off later this year, the Gods of Poker series could become a mainstay in the international poker circuit. Players interested in tracking updates, qualifiers, and promotions are encouraged to visit the official GOP website in the coming months.
