Mind Sports Stadium - SOMUCHPOKER

Mind Sports Stadium is South Korea’s premier dedicated tournament facility, specifically engineered for “mental sports” like poker, chess, and bridge. Located in Goyang City, Gyeonggi-do (just outside Seoul), this modern venue has become the official “home arena” for high-volume domestic and international festivals. With its professional broadcast infrastructure and vast floor space, it serves as the primary stage for major tours like the Super Cup , providing a world-class alternative to traditional casino environments.

Why Mind Sports Stadium?

• Tournament-First Design: Unlike hotel ballrooms, this facility is a permanent stadium featuring professional lighting, ergonomic tables, and dedicated player lounges.
• Huge Prize Pools: Host to massive events like Super Cup 6 (March 26 – April 6, 2026), which features a KRW 1.5 Billion (~$1.1M) total guarantee.
• Broadcasting Hub: Features a high-tech RFID feature table and commentary booth, used to broadcast high-stakes final tables to international audiences.

The Tournament Experience

Mind Sports Stadium operates exclusively under the “Mind Sports” legal framework, meaning it hosts tournaments but no cash games. The venue is the flagship location for the Super Cup series, which has grown into one of Asia’s most significant homegrown tours.

The 2026 season at MSS is headlined by Super Cup 6, featuring a KRW 800M guaranteed Main Event and a wide variety of “Ticket-based” entry formats. The stadium’s location in Goyang provides a more spacious and modern experience than central Seoul venues, with the surrounding area offering world-class Korean BBQ and massive shopping complexes like Starfield Goyang for players during breaks.
