Avatar Legends Launches the Pro Bending Circuit, with $100,000 in Prizes and 2027 World Finals
The fighting game's first official esports circuit was revealed during the Top 8 at CEO 2026.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is getting its own esports circuit. The Pro Bending Circuit, revealed during the game's Top 8 at CEO 2026 in August, will run qualifying events around the world with a total prize fund of more than $100,000. It ends with the Pro Bending Circuit World Finals in 2027.
The teaser map showed stops on every continent, but no individual events had been confirmed. The developers, Gameplay Group International and Paramount Games Studio, have not yet said how many players will qualify for the finals or which tournaments count toward them.
The name nods to pro-bending, the arena sport from The Legend of Korra.
The game has kept up a busy competitive schedule since. It was a main tournament at EVO France in October, where Pepe Uehara won with Toph.
