Pinoy Gaming Festival 2014 Comes to SM Megamall!

07:02 PM October 21, 2014

Pinoy Gaming Festival will once again grace the stage for game enthusiasts, fans and gamers alike.

This year’s event is now not just about gaming — it’s a combination of eSports, mobile games, arcade games, cosplay, anime, card games and toy collections!

The event is set to happen on Oct. 25-26, 2014 at SM Mega TradeHall and is organized by Philippine eSports Organization, Mineski Events Team and Otakuzine.

The games on-stage will be shoutcasted by the explosive casters, Dunoo, Lon and Tryke. Bianca Yao and the Natividad Sisters will be present too!

PGF announced the following games that will officially be part of this 2-day event:

Dota 2
Clash of Clans
NBA 2k14
Divosaga II
Boomz 3.4 New Era

For Dota 2, it will be the ESL Philippines Dota 2 Opening Series Grand Finals.

The eight teams that are determined are as follows:

Arcanys Gaming
SVentures Gaming
PowerPlay.TRIC
Click n Search
Survey Corps (will be replacing MSI-EvoGT)
Pacific 2 eSports
Mineski Dota 2
Evil Zebras (recent leg runner-up that will replace Interactive Philippines.Execration)

These teams will set foot onstage and will try to have a piece of the P75,000 prize pool and the bragging rights to become the first Philippine ESL Dota 2 champion.

Prize Pool Breakdown:

Champion: P40,000
2nd Place: P20,000
3rd Place: P10,000

In addition, the Mineski Pro Gaming League Wildcard winner will be decided on this day. The wildcard match gives teams who fell short in securing a spot for the finals a last chance to make it into the main event.

Olympus Gods – Rank #8
