CTP & JPPS Rally Full Support for Taiwan and Japan Contingents at Eden Awakens Jeju

Gods of Poker’s inaugural chapter, Eden Awakens, lands at Les A Casino, Jeju Shinhwa World, from December 5–14, 2025, and two regional powerhouses are stepping forward to ensure their players shine on the global stage: Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP) and Japan Poker Player Services (JPPS).

United by Purpose

For its grand debut, GOP has made collaboration a cornerstone of its philosophy, celebrating not just the competition, but the communities that make Asian poker thrive. This spirit of unity comes to life through CTP and JPPS, two organizations whose influence and integrity have helped shape their respective local poker scenes.

Why These Partners Matter

CTP has played a defining role in Taiwan’s rise as one of Asia’s liveliest poker markets. From organizing locally acclaimed events to hosting international-caliber festivals, CTP has cultivated a culture of professionalism and passion. Its network of venues in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung has become synonymous with excellence and accessibility, empowering a new generation of Taiwanese talent.

JPPS, on the other hand, has made traveling for poker easier and more enjoyable for Japanese players than ever before. Through its player-support services — from real-time event updates and travel planning to on-site guidance, JPPS has made international poker more accessible to Japan’s growing fan base. Ahead of Eden Awakens, JPPS has already begun organizing group travel, on-site support, and cultural guidance to make Jeju feel like home for Japan’s traveling poker community.

What Players Can Expect in Jeju

Players joining under the CTP and JPPS banners can count on all-around support:

• Travel & Registration Assistance
  JPPS will manage logistical coordination for Japanese players, while CTP will facilitate pre-registration, seat confirmations, and group travel for the Taiwanese delegation.  
• On-the-Ground Player Care
  Both organizations are setting up bilingual staff, guided player chats, and on-site assistance to ensure stress-free participation throughout the ten-day festival.  
• Proven Pathway to Big-Field Success
  CTP’s track record of organizing large-scale festivals and satellite networks ensures that Taiwan’s contingent will be well-prepared for GOP’s competitive structures and prize pools.

Established Excellence

• CTP (Taiwan) — Taiwan’s leading poker association, renowned for hosting national events that consistently break attendance and prize records. CTP’s operations have set a standard for fair play, transparent management, and community-driven growth.  
• JPPS (Japan) — A fast-expanding player-support platform with its own digital ecosystem, combining live event coordination with tech-based accessibility. JPPS is helping bridge Japan’s domestic circuit with the international stage, one player at a time.

Aligned with Gods of Poker’s Vision

The newly established brand stands for collaboration, competition, and culture — values deeply reflected in its partnership with CTP and JPPS. Their joint involvement not only amplifies the prestige of Eden Awakens, but also signals a united front in building Asia’s next chapter of professional poker.

With full backing from these two pillars, GOP’s anticipated debut is set to feature strong representation from Taiwan and Japan, two nations known for their discipline, sportsmanship, and love for the game. As the gods convene in Jeju this December, their players will rise ready to make history.
