Jiang Wanan attended the opening press conference of WirForce 2026-Utopia, calling it the largest e-sports carnival in Asia

The nine-in-one general election is approaching. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan has a full schedule today (24th). He will set off to Huannan Market at 6 a.m. to vote, return to the city hall at 9 a.m. to hold a National Day press conference, and then go to the World Trade Center to participate in the opening press conference of the e-sports event "WirForce 2026-Utopia" at 10 a.m. The organizer said in his speech that WirForce CEO Huang Zhiren said that it took 10 times the effort to move from the Flower Expo to the World Trade Center this year, and Jiang Wanan also praised WirForce for becoming the largest e-sports carnival in Asia. However, according to the reporter's on-site observation, unlike other e-sports events that are crowded with people right after the opening, WirForce is sparsely crowded, almost every booth is empty, and not many players are experiencing it.

In his speech, Jiang Wanan said that he was very happy to participate in the WirForce event again. At that time, it was very grand at the Flower Expo and saw a lot of players coming to participate in this event. This year has entered the 12th edition. Along the way, there have been many partners who have supported us together to achieve today's results. It has become the largest e-sports carnival in Asia. He thinks this is not only the pride of Taiwan, but also the partners who participate make everyone feel proud.

Jiang Wanan said that this year's venue was moved from the Flower Expo to the World Trade Center. He believed that the organizers put in more effort and investment, but it also meant that they had taken a very huge step to get to where they are today. It was very different. The scale was getting bigger each time, and the relevant content was more exciting each time.

Jiang Wanan pointed out that the organizer said in his speech that CEO of Si Esports, Huang Zhiren, said that his original intention of founding WirForce was to go from playing games alone to gathering more friends to play together. The Taipei City Government also promotes e-sports activities. If possible, he would also like to come to WirForce in person to express their attention to everyone and their determination to continue to promote the e-sports movement.

Jiang Wanan mentioned that they will open a special sports hall in the mansion in October this year. It is also the only sports center currently built with e-sports, professional e-sports and virtual sports as the core. Therefore, there will be a lot of daily training for e-sports teams, and formal events can be held. He hopes to continue to promote e-sports like WirForce and allow more players to invest in this industry.
