“The Legion of Champions tournament is Lenovo’s testament to fostering the gaming community, both here in the Philippines and in the entire APAC (Asia Pacific) region. Truly, the rise of the competitive gaming scene can no longer be ignored, and Lenovo is thrilled that the event has been steadily growing ever since it started.
“As the gaming phenomenon further develops, rest assured that Lenovo Legion and the LoC will continue to provide eSports teams a competitive platform where they can enhance and hone their skills,” said Lenovo Philippines General Manager Michael Ngan.
Now in its fourth series, the Legion of Champions comes back bigger and better featuring the two new crowd-favorite games in its fold: PUBG and CS:GO. In addition, teams from 12 markets in the region, now including Australia and New Zealand, will be battling it out for glory.
Local champions and grand finalists will be competing for a total combined prize pool of US$89,100 (approximately Php 4.51 million).
