Gods of Poker (GOP) will open its 2027 season at Asia Poker Arena in Taipei from February 12 to 22, in partnership with CTP. The Main Event will have an NT$41,800 buy-in and an NT$15 million guaranteed prize pool.
GOP has also announced "The Rise of the Demigods" as its theme for 2027, turning to the heroes and demigods of Greek mythology after a first season centered on the gods.
Greek Mythology Remains Central to GOP's 2027 Theme
GOP described 2026 as its "Year of Creation," introducing Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Apollo and other Greek gods as part of the series' identity.
For 2027, the focus shifts to figures including Perseus, Heracles, Achilles, Theseus and Odysseus. GOP plans to introduce a new mythological legend at each destination during the season.
GOP founder Lloyd Fontillas thanked players for supporting the series during its first year. He said he hopes to attract more participants in 2027, starting with the Taipei festival.
GOP Plans Further Cronus Structure Updates
GOP will continue refining its Cronus Structure, aiming to make play more meaningful while reducing unnecessary hours.
Changes to tournament formats and new concepts are also planned. The announcement did not specify what those changes would involve or provide a full tournament schedule for the Taipei stop.
