The unprecedented success of the Philippine Pro Gaming League and its undaunted
achievements in the recently-concluded DOTA 2 Asia Championships a few days ago
are clear statements that 2018 is slated to be the year of Mineski. On its road
to glory, it is assumed that one of the top professional gaming teams in the
Philippines and Southeast Asia will be resilient in becoming one force to be
reckoned with in the world of eSports.
And perhaps the only thing that would undoubtedly make Mineski's new
mission possible is its participation in The International 2018, which is
highly-regarded as one of the biggest and most prestigious pro gaming tourneys
in the world today. But judging from what I have discovered recently in its
social media platforms, it seems like Mineski's road to The International will
not be easy to miss out on.
Mineski recently announced on Facebook that it has officially backed
out of a qualifying tournament in Thailand mostly due to their stand against
biased organizers. Prior to that announcement, the group made a statement
regarding one of their members' racist comments. These may be considered slight
struggles to begin with, but they may be driving the team away from its responsible
gaming advocacy if they are not being dealt with. But I guess it is natural for
any team to have internal problems in its case before making traction in a particular
event it is participating in.
Watching Kuwentong DOTA whether on television or online may give you a
simple rundown on what the recently concluded PPGL 2018 was all about, and I
believe it would be best for anyone to take it into heart because responsible
gaming is real and legit. You may have been surprised by the fact that the highly-anticipated
local pro gaming event has ended considering that it was held before the Lenten
season, but it is hopeful that Kuwentong DOTA becomes an avenue for us to learn
what has been transpired during the weekend spectacular.
