AcadArena, the premiere campus gaming and eSports initiative in the Philippines, has officially partnered with renouned local professional gaming organization Bren eSports for the further development of gaming and eSports courses for students and professionals in the country. Through the partnership, Bren eSports will primarily help AcadArena develop a professional gaming and management track featuring asynchronous coursework for the ladder's partner schools and co-develop a content series on the eSports scene. Meanwhile, AcadArena will assist Bren eSports in creating modules to further develop their own training within the organization.
Furthermore, Bren eSports will allow AcadArena students make use of its facilities and coaching staff when they are going to compete in international pro gaming tournaments and events. The organization has garnered recognizable performances in the international stage such as their championship run in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup and the sixth season of Mobile Legends Professional League - Philippines (MPL-PH) where they were hailed as champions. The two parties hope to produce content that aims to further drive Philippine eSports forward such as the return of the BoostCamp initiative. The educational tracks, on the other hand, will focus on developing a new generation of talents within the industry.
"AcadArena's expertise in the collegiate space is exactly what we need to move the industry forward. We're excited to build the next generation of eSports professionals with them," said Bren eSports CEO Jab Escutin. "Education plays a big part in the success and sustainability of the eSports industry and it's only right that we create opportunities for our students to reach their dreams." "We at the AcadArena team are extremely excited about this partnership, given that we're big fans of the Bren organization as a whole," said AcadArena CEO Justin Banusing. "As industry leaders, the sheer amount of knowledge they can impart to our students can't be understated and will help level up the campus eSports scene as a whole."
