Nowadays, the new normal can help you find ways to hang out with your crew even within the comforts of your own home and it can be possible in with Globe Prepaid Virtual Hangouts, a new platform that allows you to enjoy the things you love, pursue your own passions, and discover new ones through exclusive online events that enable you and your friends to live your best lives. This platform offers four different kinds of online events catering to the youth in the millennial generation, and one of them which is dubbed as Go eSPORTS happens to allow aspiring gamers to enter tournaments and apprenticeships for a chance to earn the opportunity to represent the Philippines in the Super Game Fest (SGF).
Scheduled to be held on December 5-6 and 11-13, the SGF is a one-of-a-kind live streaming online festival created by, with and for gamers and gaming enthusiasts in Southeast Asia combining eSports, awards and fun. Launched in a virtual event held last October 18, the SGF will feature activities for gamers from across and all over the region including gaming tournaments, watch parties, interviews with top eSports personalities, workshops and behind-the-scenes training and the region's first gaming and eSports awards. Presented in partnership with Singapore's top telecoms brand Singtel through PVP eSports 2020 community tournaments, Business and Marketing Head Cindy Tan of Singtel's International Group shared that the SGF is a way to create a holistic and fun environment beyond tournament gameplays. She added, "it's about all things gaming that we enjoy, and not stopping at just competition when it comes to us presenting eSports in an engaging way."
One of the most anticipated events and highlights of the SGF is the PVP eSports 2020 Community Championships where four winning teams from the Ulti Cup, University Alliance Cup and National Campus Open will represent the Philippines to compete against representatives from other Southeast Asian countries in Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) and Valorant with a total cash prize of US$100,000 at stake as well as the honor of representing the country in the international stage. Local qualifiers for the Collegiate Cup will be presented by AcadArena while Globe Virtual Hangouts will be presenting the Ulti Cup which is slated to start within the month of November.
"Globe has always been on the forefront of games and eSports, providing Philippine gamers access to the best games as well as building assets to improve the Philippine eSports scene," said Globe Telecom's Director for Games and eSports DC Dominguez. "With the tournaments on the road to Super Game Fest, we'll be sending Filipino representatives to compete at the Collegiate and Open divisions of the PVP Regional Finals. This will all be done through Globe Virtual Hangouts which is helping us make these tournaments accessible to all kinds of viewers and gamers, may it be casual or hardcore fans."
