Even though it's still DotA and OP7, I am part of the team behind this and will be trying my best to get SC2 kicking in here. GLHF!

yeah unfortunately being a country divided into over 9000 islands would really hurt its development for it to be really a "national" thing. good job to the people behind this though.

Too bad Anicon (which would have made a break for SC) was postponed and was canceled.

Good job on the effort guys!:D Even if it's not StarCraft, it would cater to the general gaming community in our country. This will be big if this hits even only in Luzon, because after that, everything will flood in like Ondoy.....oh shi--

anyway, the last time I checked (more than a year ago), the SC community was less than a 100? and the competitive guys were less than half I think. But with mineski really putting up a good effort on getting some players into sc and now they have monthly(?) tournaments and they're hosting an online one right now if I'm not mistaken, I'm feeling quite bad for bm'ing some of their good guys early on (but who can blame me, some of their starters into the sc scene were bm as fuck, not to mention they were bad). I hope sc will make a push through but I think that sc has a certain degree of "elitism" tagged into it. It's like Chess, you only get the hang of watching grandmasters play after a year or two of playing. It's not like basketball where a completely neutral person could get hooked instantly during the 4th quarter when it's his school playing against a rival team (true story btw). Not to mention that most of the great players are over at Visayas....T_T

Great efforts anyway, is this getting air time in any local channel/s? Studio 23 might be a bit too much for starters....tv5 maybe?

Yeah, having over 9000 islands hurt the Spaniard Colonization and our Law Enforcement...wait, do we even have decent law enforcement? Sometimes its the enforcers themselves who deviate from the law..~_~

PGL will be aired on GMA7 (for those non-Filipinos, it's one of the biggest TV networks here). I am not sure about the exact schedule.

Congratulations to people from the Philippines! It is good that e-Sports is taking off there. =) Hopefully, the organisers will consider including SC2 as well.

It certainly would represent a good start for the Phillipine SC2 scene!

That is awesome last time I was in the Philippines was 2 years ago and mostly all the games I saw was either CS or Dota being played but I guess they moved out from CS.
