## What XSERIES is

XSERIES is a **5v5 sportainment** event (sport + entertainment) in Jakarta, created by **Games of Society (GOS)**, the same organizer behind Futsal Series. The game is called **XBall**, "the next-generation 5v5 game". The roster mixes professional football players, pro futsal players, legends, content creators, and young talent from the Futsal Series ecosystem.

What sets it apart from regular futsal is the **power cards**: teams can play X Cards and President Cards that change the course of the match (for example 6v5, goals worth 3, or a score reset). Because of this, scores can climb as high as basketball scores, like the XS-1 final that ended 16–15.

## Four things that stand out

1. **The event is growing fast, but its official website is still empty.** XS-1 and XS-2 were held at GOR UNJ, a campus sports hall in Rawamangun. A year later, XS-3 moves to Indonesia Arena in Senayan, a much bigger venue. The star line-up grew too: Ricardinho returns, and now there is Luís Nani, formerly of Manchester United. Meanwhile, the [xseries.gamesofsociety.com](https://xseries.gamesofsociety.com) website is still a placeholder, so XSERIES information is spread across IG, YouTube, and GOERS.
2. **The unique rules have no official explanation yet.** X Cards and President Cards are the main differentiator. The only official explanation is the GOS video "XSERIES: EXPLAINED" from the XS-1 era (Sep 2025). There is no up-to-date official rules page, so the most complete explanation of the current rules is in the media (Bola.com) and in IG stories that disappear after 24 hours. See [Format & rules](/research/format-dan-aturan/).
3. **Character content is already running.** The player arrival series, creator rivalries, and player reveals with playing cards show that XSERIES is already run like an entertainment league. XSERIES is a GOS IP (intellectual property), meaning the brand, team names, and stories belong to GOS.
4. **Digital revenue already exists.** Tickets are sold on GOERS and the GOS channel has a YouTube membership.
