MSI is bringing its gaming arena closer to students in the Philippines with its first-ever University Championship.
Filipino esports fans, gamers, and enthusiasts will be able to witness the intense battles between collegiate teams in Riot Game’s popular first-person shooter Valorant. The tournament—which is also held in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia—will run from October 30 to December 4. Registration starts on October 7.
The MSI Gaming Arena (MGA) University Championship aims to recognize the emergence of esports in the country and promote the importance of camaraderie among universities even without face-to-face engagements. Over P200,000 worth of prizes are at stake.
“MSI together with AcadArena, ESL Gaming, The Gaming Company, One Up esports, Riot Games, and VNG are proud to bring the heat and thrill of gaming experience among universities in the Philippines.” said Jessica Chen, MSI Philippines General Manager.
The program will adhere as closely to local school schedules as possible. “We highly encourage the students to join the fun and the spirit of competition, hoping this could relieve a bit of their stress from the ongoing pandemic and online classes,” she added.
The event will be powered by Globe Telecom and in partnership with AcadArena, the leading organization for Campus Gaming and Esports Education in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
Below is the schedule for the Philippines:
