Rising eSports star Bor Juku has surprisingly announced his withdrawal from the King of Champions (KOC) quarterfinals. The reason behind such a sudden withdrawal remains undisclosed. The announcement, which came shortly before the next round was slated to start, has sent waves through Japan's esports community. The organisation and fans are awaiting further information on how the game schedule might be affected.

eSports has gained enormous popularity in Japan, where gaming enthusiasts intensely follow major tournaments like the KOC. They admire the skill and dedication of professional gamers, often elevating them to celebrity status. Therefore, the unexpected withdrawal of a rising star like Bor Juku is a significant event. The uncertainty around Bor's decision also creates quite a stir as transparency and fair play are highly valued in the Japanese gaming community.

Similar to Japan, eSports in the US and the EU have a large fanbase. Unanticipated withdrawals like this would also cause a media buzz and fan speculation. However, these regions might differ in their reactions, considering the EU's more formal and structured approach and the US's emphasis on the gamers' personal lives and tie-ins to mainstream entertainment media.
