The one and only Sarah Geronimo will be headlining this year's Acer Day Celebrations. I've witnessed these in the past but this time, it's going to be a little different as Sarah is officially the country ambassador representing the Philippines together with the biggest artists in Southeast Asia which includes Prince from Indonesia, Aina Abdul from Malaysia, GBoySWAG from Taiwan, Earth Patravee from Thailand and VP Bá Vương from Vietnam.
They'll be singing ACER's newest anthem called "Live Your World" which will be released on August 3, but their actual live performance will be done on Acer's channels on August 7, 2021. In the past, each country would only celebrate individually, but they're making it possible to perform together online and no pandemic will be stopping them!
The Managing Director of Acer Philippines Manuel Wong knows that Acer needed someone that's considered a pillar in the industry and they can't wait for people to see Sarah perform for Acer Day. She will definitely bring it!
For those who wish to have an Acer laptop for school, work or play, they'll also be offering huge discounts on the said date so make sure to stay tuned for the announcements during the event. You can also check out their official stores online and their other channels because there's definitely an Acer for you!
SIBOL is making its debut in this year’s Southeast Asian Games to be held in Manila. For those who don’t know, they are our official ESports team who will be competing with other Southeast Asian countries as an official medal sport. They will need to champion Mobile Legends, Dota 2, StarCraft II, Hearthstone, Arena of Valor and Tekken 7. I’m a gamer myself and I know a LOT of pinoys do well in these titles especially MLBB and Tekken (which I have also played in arcades for years). Though this morning we got a nice preview of how we’ll fare in the tourney.
They presented the teams too composed of Dota 2 geniuses Carlo "Kuku" Palad, Timothy John "Tims" Randrup, Kim "Gabbi" Santos, Armel "Armel" Tabios, Nico "Eyyou" Barcelon, Djardel Jicko B. "DJ" Mampusti, Marc Polo Luis "Raven" Fausto, Abed Azel "Abed" Yusop, Michael "ninjaboogie" Ross Jr. and Ryan Jay "Bimbo" Qui. While on StarCraft II we have Caviar "Enderr" Acampado. In Arena of Valor we've got Kevin Kio "Gambit" Dizon, Jeremiah "1717" Camarillo, Jevan Lorenzo "Bents" Delos Santos, Lawrence Anthony "Rubixx" Gatmaitan, Miguel Klarenz "Miggie" Banaag. In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang we have Carlito "Ribo" Ribo, Erwin "Yakou" Magno, Jeniel "Haze" Bata-Anon, Marc Danielle "Dee" San Luis, Yuji "Yuji" Aizawa, Angelo Kyle "Pheww" Arcangel, Renz Carlo "Pein" Reyes, Lester "Tets" Santos, Ralph Mico "Coco" Sampang, Mark "Dysania" Cruz, Ephraim Jueinno "Ejhay" Sambrano, Gerardo "Eson" Mark Jayson, Jeff Franklin "Jeffqt4ever" Anaya, Allan Sancio "Lusty" Castromayor, Jason Rafael "Jay" Torculas, Ashleymarco "Killuash" Cruz and Kyle "Ryo" Berceño.
For Tekken 7 Andreij Hosea "Doujin" Albar, Alexandre Gabrielle "AK" Laverez and in Hearthstone we have Jacinta "Jia" Dee, Euneil "Staz" Javiñas playing the cards.
We got to talk to the lone femme gamer Jia Dee about how she became part of our official lineup, here she is to share her story:
The teams will also have the chance to win 2 Million pesos for every Gold Medal they win in the games. They are also supported heavily by Smart Communications and the MVP Group so if you’re here during the first week of December, might as well go support them during the Southeast Asian Games in Manila. Stay tuned for more of them soon!
Been playing this for a long time and I wonder how I haven’t been able to play this professionally. News got out that Predator has sponsored the PUBG Championship Season 2 held in the land of smiles, Thailand. With this, teams from Thailand (4), Vietnam (4), Indonesia (3), Philippines (2), and Malaysia/Singapore (1) will battle it out for supremacy in the region plus the whopping USD 100,000 in cash!
This is organized by MET Events, the largest esports event organizer in Asia and it will kick off the Bangkok leg on June 29-30. The Philippine Qualifier last June 22-23 had ArkAngel on top and hopefully after Bangkok, they’ll win on July 26-28 for the MET Asia Series PUBG Classic for a USD 300,000 prize pot!
Can’t wait to see the Philippines conquer this! Let’s go!
