Christmas is always about the act of giving more than receiving. This season, the Filipino gamers literally gave it their all for the sheer thrill of competition.
DotA Allstars truly never dies as shown by the epic game of Revitalize vs Execration and the recent release of version 6.73. But it's not all about that game, we also have Dota 2, Dragon Nest and StarCraft 2 giving their fair share to satisfy the burning insatiable hunger in these days of December.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the following teams (and individual players) that has shown that giving your all is more than worth it.
DotA 2: Pag-ibig
Dragon Nest: XUB
StarCraft 2: Mski.EnDerr
DotA 1
- Mski Grounds: Shoturday
- MILP Open: Revitalize
- MILP Students: SeatWork
- MI Cebu: it's Pro Time
- Portal Sta. Mesa: Puerto Rico
- Portal Cubao: f b x
In case you have forgotten, the teams above (except Dragon Nest and StarCraft 2) have also qualified for an upcoming $1000 tournament (details to be announced).
Pag-ibig to regain glory?
Before the era of Happyfeet (now Mineski), Pag-ibig was arguably the most-feared team in local DotA. Looks like they want to rekindle that glory as they have just won the first ever Philippine DotA 2 tournament. However, they are yet to face teams such as Mineski, Execration, Revitalize, etc. in this game of DotA 2.
Revitalize vs Execration in Las Piñas
Everyone may still remember the moment when Revitalize knocked Execration out of the MPGL season finale at Pinoy Gaming Festival. The saying "seasons change, but people don't" turned out to be true. The same outcome happened: Revitalize victorious over Execration again.
Enderr still SC2 PH #1
After the visa-denial drama back in WCG, Enderr still has the magic in him. The Filipino Starcraft Tyrant walked over and crushed those who were considered to be contenders of the coveted crown. His flawless performance proved to all that he is the only one that deserves to sit on the Starcraft throne.
The start of a new age: Dragon Nest
Dragon Nest is a game that is an absolute newcomer in the Philippine competitive scene. But legend has it that champion team, XUB, has been dominant for the past few months in the entire SEA region. Is this a the call for Filipino gamers to own it up in Dragon Nest too? Let's all see if another team can usurp XUB in the next chapter!
Oh and before we forget...
