SA unang pagkakataon, naisali ang eSports sa sports calendar ng Southeast Asian Games. At sa ika-30 edition, hindi nagpahuli ang Pinoy eGamers.
Ikinalugod ng Razer™, nangungunang lifestyle brand para sa mga gamers, ang matagumpay na pagsasagawa ng sports at ang dominasyon ng atletang Pinoy sa sports na tiyak na magpapataas sa antas ng kompetisyon sa industriya.
Bago pa man napasama ang eSports sa SEA Games, isa ang Razer sa nagsusulong na maging bahagi ng SEA Games ang industriya.
“The esports event was a resounding success and the games are a testament of our esports talent in the region,” pahayag ni David Tse, Global Esports Director at Razer. “While we may have achieved success in the SEA Games, this journey to legitimizing esports is not over. We will continue to strive for esports’ inclusion in the Olympics and we look forward to the next SEA Games in 2021.”
Kabilang ang eSports sa dinumog ng sambayanan sa ginanap na torneo sa SEAG sa FilOil Center sa San Juan at umabot sa isang million at views sa mga laro tampok ang 70,000 concurrent viewers.
“We’ve seen some pretty exciting gameplay and a superb level of competition among the SEA Games esports athletes. A formidable force, these youths have shown grit, resilience and a tremendous respect for their craft and supporters,” pahayag ni Alvin Juban, Philippine SEA Games Esports Union, Co-President & National Team Manager. “We’re proud to host them and we hope to see them celebrating again in the next SEA Games.”
Ipinagkaloob ng PHISGOC ang pagkilala sa Razer.
“PHISGOC recognizes Razer, the Official Esports Partner, for being the originator of the push for esports to be included in the 30th SEA Games, through their Co-Founder and CEO, Min-Liang Tan, and our Speaker of the House of Representatives of Philippines and Chairman of PHISGOC, Alan Cayetano,” pahayag ni Juban. “The great success of the esports event in the last one week has proven our vision and strong partnership with Razer.”
