The 15th USE Cup Judan Tournament reached its climax on October 8 with the third game of the best-of-five series, featuring an intense showdown between Defending Judan Champion HSU Hao-hung and challenger WANG Yuan-jun (9-dan). HSU Hao-hung delivered a flawless performance, winning 3–0 to successfully defend his title and set a historic record of eight consecutive victories.
USE Electronics Co., Ltd. proudly congratulates HSU Hao-hung on this remarkable achievement, which marks a new milestone in his professional career. Since 2011, we have been the exclusive sponsor of the USE Cup Judan Tournament, now celebrating its 15th edition.

The event received widespread acclaim and brought fresh energy to Taiwan's professional Go scene.
We sincerely thank all participating players for their exceptional skill and competitive spirit, which showcased the depth and professionalism of Taiwan's Go community. Our gratitude also extends to the Chinese Professional Go Association, Haifeng Qiyuan, and the National Cheng Kung University Go Club, as well as our partners Shangri‑La Far Eastern, Tainan (Hotel) and the many professional players who supported the event.
Go is more than a game—it is a cultural heritage and a source of inspiration. Through initiatives like the USE Cup, we aim to strengthen the roots of Go culture, foster its growth, and work with society to ensure its sustainable legacy. We remain committed to promoting Go and creating opportunities for future generations to experience its beauty and depth.
