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
