The tournament featured two divisions: the standard HADO division and the advanced HADO WORLD division. In the HADO division, Korean teams demonstrated outstanding teamwork and secured all top three positions, while the Japanese team reached the Top 8 and energized the crowd with determined performances. In HADO WORLD, Chinese teams claimed 1st and 2nd place through sophisticated strategy and precise coordination; the 3rd place went to a strong Korean team, highlighting the unique strengths and playstyles of each nation.

This marks the second time the event has been held as a multi-nation tournament. Last year’s version included only Japan and South Korea; 2025’s edition welcomed China for the first time, making this a true trilateral event. Looking forward, meleap plans to continue expanding the HADO JUNIOR CUP by inviting more countries across Asia and beyond — aiming to foster global youth exchange, teamwork, and an enduring spirit of challenge through HADO.

About HADO

HADO is a next-generation augmented reality (AR) sport where players wear a head-mounted display and arm sensor to launch digital energy balls and deploy shields using physical movements. Combining real-world physical movement with digital strategy, HADO creates completely new athletic experiences and social interactions.
