Over 2,000 PCs and monitors deployed at Legion Tower, alongside on-site demonstration of a rollable concept.

Lenovo is participating as a Global Founding Partner for the 'Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026' in Paris and will supply Legion gaming devices throughout the tournament. Continuing the partnership from the previous year's EWC 2025, the scope of support has been expanded to the entire sports infrastructure.

Lenovo officially announced on the 3rd the expansion of its partnership with the Esports Foundation.

EWC 2026, held for the first time in Paris this year, is a tournament featuring over 2,000 players and 200 esports teams from more than 100 countries and will run for seven weeks until August 23.

Lenovo announced that it supports Legion desktop PCs and monitors across stadiums, practice facilities, broadcast studios, and festival spaces.

Mohammed Al Nimer, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of the Esports Foundation, said, “For thousands of matches, broadcasts, and player equipment setups spanning seven weeks, the technology supporting them is just as important as the matches on stage,” adding, “I thank Lenovo for providing the state-of-the-art system.”

The participating players will compete on Legion Tower 7i and Legion Tower 5i desktop PCs and Legion monitors.

Volker Düring, Vice President and General Manager of the Gaming Business Unit at Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group (IDG), stated, “This demonstrates the commitment of both companies to support top-tier esports players in showcasing their best skills on the global stage using Legion devices.”

The 'Legion Pro Rollable Concept,' first unveiled at CES 2026 earlier this year, will also be showcased at EWC.

This concept features a Lenovo PureSight OLED 16-inch display. It is a portable device expandable up to 24 inches, and visitors to the site can experience it firsthand at the region booth.

At the 'Legion Gauntlet' stage, a fan experience space, participatory challenge events are also held along with the experience of laptops, tablets, and peripherals.

At the previous year's EWC 2025, more than 2,000 regional devices were deployed, and regional branding was exposed to 750 million viewers through broadcasts of 24 events.
