ESGS 2019 – Why You Need to Attend

The mecca for all Filipino gamers, Electronic Sports and Gaming Summit, better known as ESGS 2019, is back for their 6th consecutive year! Co-presented by PLDT Home Fibr and Smart Telecom and organized by Gariath Concepts, this year’s event will definitely be awesome and more epic than ever before.

What to expect?

This year, ESGS is taking the whole of SMX and by that I also mean its bigger than it’s ever been before. Honestly it’ll be like walking into the Philippine’s biggest Cyberzone, (if you pardon the SM naming) except there’s a lot more free stuff, brands you never see in malls, lots of discounted gaming products, merchandise, tournaments for your favorite eSport, and gaming brands and communities come out of the woodwork to celebrate and enjoy this hobby we’ve gotten ourselves into.

 

ESGS 2019 Cosplay Competition

You can’t have a big esports event without cosplay. This has been the norm for the past years in gaming conventions. For 2019, contestants will compete in their best fighting game costumes, along with their best moves.

 

ESGS 2019 Featured Games

ESGS 2019 has a couple new and old games up there feature sleeve like Just Dance 2019, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, these are just to name a few.

Game Testing and Preview

One of the reasons why ESGS 2019 is a must-attend is because it’s an event where major, local, and independent game developers get to introduce their games. It has become a great avenue for both players who are avidly waiting to upgrade their systems, and developers looking for feedback on their products.

Companies selling computers, consoles, gaming systems, and accessories were present at the event to showcase and sell their products at a special event discount.

Free Play and Activities

Games and gaming rigs are not the only things to expect every ESGS. This year, companies took it further and let event attendees participate in activities, and even held raffles for various game items, merchandise, and products.

E-Sports is the highlight of ESGS–and this year, tournaments were held both on the main stage and sponsor booths. Mobile and PC game tournaments happened almost every hour of the three-day event, including the Road to Nationals tournament for Tekken 7 and DOTA 2.

New Talents

ESGS 2019 will also set the spotlight for homegrown talent, as indie game developers will be able to showcase their creations at the Indie Fiesta. The Independent Game Developers Association will go full support for the young and aspiring developers, where attendees can try out a total of 40 upcoming games. The Game and Developers Association of the Philippines will also conduct workshops and seminars at the GameOn Area.
