GLOBE partnered with campus eSports initiative Esports AcadArena for the Summer Quarter 2020 that kicked off last month and ends in September.
Participants get the chance to hone their skills in casting, production and other eSports-related disciplines through a series of courses and talks handpicked by their respective organizations.
They will also have the opportunity to put their skills to the test by helping produce AcadArena’s Esports tournaments.
Participating organizations can also have their own professional teams compete in the tournaments of the Summer Quarter 2020 which stake two titles—the Alliance League and Mobile Legends National Cup.
Under AcadArena’s Alliance program, 10 campus student organizations will be given hands-on training and infrastructure support so they can participate in the inaugural season of League of Legends and Hearthstone.
The season will run every Saturday until August 29 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. with the semifinals set on September 12 and 13 and the finals on September 19.
For the League of Legends tournament, two groups of five players will vie a round-robin competition where the top 2 from each group will advance to the best-of-five semifinals. The Hearthstone tournament, on the other hand, will utilize a 16-player elimination phase.
In Mobile Legends, the winner be the official Philippine qualifier for the PVP Esports Campus Championship, the regional eSports league hosted by Globe partner Singtel.
