Two of the best Protoss players of the Philippines gets the spotlight. Paolo 'Pobbes' Poblador and Raymond 'datte' Chua are also two of the most underrated players in the scene.
It is important to note that datte has proven himself to be capable of taking out Enderr back in the very first ZenCraft Battle Conference where he solidly took the series 3-0.
Pobbes on the other hand has been dubbed as the Protoss rising star wherein he took championships left and right from the likes of WaningMoon, NUKS and BLaZeR in recent tournaments.
See both of these talented people this coming October 28-30 at SM North EDSA in the Pinoy Gaming Festival!

WCG Grand Finals will be held at PGF which is said to be the biggest and grandest Gaming event in the Philippines this year. How are you preparing for this event?
- Practicing. I think that's all I can do right now. That, and pray that my nerves don't abandon me when the tournament starts. I remember my games against Waningmoon during the finals of the qualifiers, my hands were shaking. (lol)
Who do you think will be the toughest opponent you will be facing in the tournament?
- Probably both Enderr and Jabito. They're the two most accomplished players in the Philippine scene right now, and they've participated in a lot of tournaments. I'm really nervous about facing them.
