MET, Southeast Asia’s #1 esports tournament organizer, has partnered with Globe Telecom to produce the Philippine Pro Gaming League (PPGL) 2018. The league will be a multi-title league to feature nationwide tournaments which include DotA 2, Tekken 7, and Arena of Valor.
Aside from the tourneys themselves, the PPGL will also feature a high-production serialized documentary that will focus on the life stories, daily lives, and personal struggles of the players as they progress through the league. The tournament will be live streamed while the documentaries will air on television for free.
“Globe is once again embarking on a pioneering effort. After becoming the purveyor of digital lifestyle and redefining how Filipinos consume entertainment, we are set to put the Philippines on the map of gaming and eSports together with MET by launching Globe PPGL 2018,” said Ernest Cu, President and CEO of Globe Telecom. “We look forward to taking esports to greater heights, and develop world-class esports talents in the country,” added Cu.
The Globe PPGL 2018 is expected to begin later this 2018 with qualifier tournaments across the country before a live LAN event to determine the champions for each title.
