Tier One Debuts Blacklist International, Official Esports Label
Tier One’s objective since day one is to bring more opportunities to the talents in the scene. Blacklist International is a new start for Tier One’s esports efforts, taking what they’ve learned from managing Team AMPLFY, and applying it on a greater scale.
At the head of this new venture is Tier One’s Chief Gaming Officer, Paolo Bago. He has a proven track record in the realm of esports, having served as Fnatic Dota’s analyst.
“Ever since my tenure in established esports organizations, I have new respect for what it means when we say Philippine esports. The reality is, we have so many talented players, yet some of them still end up playing for international orgs. This is something we cannot ignore moving into the future. If local talents are globally competitive, then our systems should be as well. That way, not only can we retain our talents instead of them moving out, but we can also be a destination for top foreign talent.”
Tier One’s advocacy with Blacklist International is to keep talented esports athletes in the Philippines, providing them with a team infrastructure and environment that is on par with the global standard, and to with want Blacklist International, they hope to be a destination for global talents not just in entertainment but in competitive esports as well.
