The e-sports carnival WirForce 2026 officially launched today (24th). It moved to Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 for the first time this year. The event will continue until September 27, maintaining the four days and three nights, 96 hours of non-stop LAN Party spirit. With the size of the venue being expanded three times compared to the past, stage hardware, exhibition area content and network infrastructure have been fully upgraded to create a larger player party.

Unlike other 3C exhibitions that focus on the display of new products, WirForce emphasizes the direct participation of players, from BYOC players bringing their own computers to the venue, hardware equipment display, live broadcast, to brand interaction, ACG content and stage performances, so that the event is not just about "watching an exhibition", but directly bringing games, hardware and player communities into the same space.

BYOC flash sale for thousands of people, the value of all equipment exceeds 100 million yuan

The most representative event of WirForce is still BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer). Players can bring their own computers, hosts and peripheral equipment to the venue, and directly engage in long-term online games, social communication and on-site interaction.

This year's BYOC quota for 1,000 people was quickly filled up after it went on sale, and the LAN party for 1,000 people once again became the focus of the event. The value of the entire hardware equipment exceeded NT$100 million, making the scene feel like a large-scale player "showing off their machines."

Judging from last year's data, the actual registration rate of BYOC players reached 97%, and the average participation time exceeded 66 hours, showing that many core players will really stay together for several days.

3C brand not only displays but also allows players to play directly

This year, a number of e-sports and hardware brands have also entered the venue, moving from simply displaying products to adding more interactive gameplay. For example, GIGABYTE AORUS has created "AORUS Trial of Gods", which allows players to directly experience the performance of the hardware through device experience, game challenges, and camp point battles.

FSP cooperated with ZOTAC GAMING to launch the "MISSION FUZZ" theme booth, which combined hardware display and mission challenges; MONTECH Technology also brought new products of radiators, building block fans and chassis, allowing players to experience them directly and up close. For players who want to change computers, upgrade graphics cards, radiators or e-sports peripherals, WirForce has also become an opportunity to test multiple devices together.

Not only e-sports, but also ACG and stage performances

In addition to hardware and games, WirForce has also further expanded its entertainment content this year, hoping to allow general audiences who are not heavy gamers to participate. The event invited Japanese anime singer Ero Aoi and popular cosplayer Moe Iori to perform, as well as relay performances by creators and musicians such as Question Mark, Bird Shit, Ring, and Feng Dong.

The site also plans a 24-hour Beyblade Zone and Beyblade Competition, a 24-hour cruel stage online live broadcast, and Hololive co-branded peripherals and other content, extending from games, animation, and VTuber to music and creator culture.
