The second season of Galaxy Battles promises to become the biggest international pro gaming event to kick off 2018 as it pits aspiring and veteran e-sports players from different parts of the globe to compete in a prestigious tournament that will take place in the Philippines. 

And there is no better and bigger stage to hold something like this is no less than the Philippine Arena at the heart of Ciudad de Victoria in Bulacan. Although the venue is owned by a religious community in the Philippines that is widely known around the world, it is intriguing to learn that the Arena is embracing its potential to become one of the biggest e-sports venues to be reckoned with in the near future. And the organizers of Galaxy Battles 2018: Emerging Worlds is banking on it as it eyes to set a new world record for having the biggest audience in an e-sports event considering the Arena's 60,000 seating capacity.

Anyway, Galaxy Battles 2018 will be headlined by sixteen pro gaming teams from around the world. Half of them are some of the finest pro gaming teams on the planet which are directly invited by Fallout Gaming and Purpose Win, while the other half will come from regional invitational and open qualifiers that are played throughout China, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), North America and South America as well as two wildcard teams.

Well so far, it seems that four teams have already earned their spot in one of the numerous DOTA 2 major tournaments sanctioned by Valve. These are four-time Majors champion Optic Gaming, The International 7 runner-up Newbee, Infamous Gaming from Peru and the Philippines' own TNC Pro Gaming Team who has made the local gaming community in recent memories including its memorable quarterfinal finish at The International 6. Oh, and speaking of Philippines' own, local pro gaming team Skyville is looking to join TNC in representing eight stars and the sun and Southeast Asia if it can manage to win the grand stage of the New Blood Championship game to be held next month.

Aside from the main competition, it looks like the upcoming Galaxy Battles is set to become more than just a grand e-sports tournament as it will fill the Philippine Arena with a range of theme parks and a music festival featuring local and international artists. "What we hope to achieve with the fusion of entertainment and e-sports is a more holistic approach to creating an exciting and fresh way to experience gaming," says Fallout Gaming managing director Adrian Gaffor.

With that in mind, you should follow Galaxy Battles on social media especially on Facebook and Twitter for more updates on the prestigious event including the remaining veteran teams that will come to the competition. Galaxy Battles 2018: Emerging Worlds is slated to be held on January 19-21, 2018.
