That was Gamecon Philippines and it was their first venture happened at the Megatrade. I was not there on an entire day but somehow I managed to attend two days of it.

I was not able to check the entire showcase of Roborumble but definitely one of the crowd drawers was the elims and finals of their single and family edition which one of their cosplay judges was Ashley Gosiengfiao. On family cosplay, they awarded Php 10,000 plus other prizes to the Dota 2 group.
They also said they will gonna bring Gamecon PH this time in Cebu this Feburary 2018. From my observation, Gamecon Philippines first attempt was a success. See more of the pic highlights below.
