MANILA, Philippines — Esports, a fast-rising form of competition using video games, is making its much-awaited debut in the Southeast Asian Games when the Philippines hosts it next year. And this early, the Philippines is forming a team that vows to contend for the six gold medals staked in the biennial meet. According to Alvin Juban, president of the Games Developers Association of the Phl, golds to be staked will come from games from two PCs, two mobile and two console games. Apart from it, Razer will fully support the national team that will compete in the SEAG. A first pro esports league, called “The Nationals,” was also formed early in the year and will be shown on ESPN5.
