Globe Telecom, the premiere purveyor of the Filipino digital lifestyle
experience, is now shifting its focus on the thriving Philippine eSports
industry with the launch of its new initiative Globe Gaming. Committed to bring
local pro gaming to the global stage and pushing it to a whole new level, Globe
has partnered with Riot Games, Garena and Mineski in its efforts to push the
industry forward to unimaginable heights.
Through the newly-forged partnership, Globe Gaming is slated to assure Filipino gamers and aficionados access to local, regional and international pro gaming events as well as original content and exclusive programming that would cater and delight even those who have not yet delved into the world of gaming. This would surely change the way the likes of League of Legends and Arena of Valor is doing tournaments in many different aspects.
Riot Games, for its part, is setting up a multi-country tournament
structure that would allow winning teams of the Southeast Asian tour direct
access to the League of Legends World Championships. This includes the
Philippines with the Globe Conquerers Manila event coming soon which will be
slated as a sanctioned League of Legends event. Meanwhile, Globe and Garena are
introducing a series of Valor Cup tournaments which will give AoV gamers the opportunity
to vie for entry in the Arena of Valor World Championships taking place in Los Angeles,
California with a higher share of the US$500,000 prize pool at stake.
The reaffirmed partnership between Globe and Mineski will further push
the two forces to develop an interesting approach that could help aspiring pro
gamers from different parts of the country showcase their own potential to the
fullest. This would eventually lead to the staging of the Philippine Pro Gaming
League next year plus its major role in the return of the Manila Masters
tournament which will take place in the said year. Furthermore, Globe prepaid mobile
subscribers will be entitled to receive promotional items upon registering to
their own preferred promos. One case in point is a free Superman hero in Arena
of Valor for those who have registered to any GoSurf promo.
Through fully-optimized internet connectivity powered by its wide
nationwide network as well as direct access to world-class events and tournaments,
Globe is poised to accelerate the local gaming scene by bringing eSports to
homes, mobile devices, malls and even competition venues. With Globe Gaming on
the horizon, Globe assures every Filipino can become successful in their own
way as long as they have the drive to propel themselves further than expected.
With that in mind, Globe Gaming is well on its way to propel Filipino gaming
culture to unimaginable heights like no other.
