After their recent gaming extravaganza in SM North EDSA a few months ago, they just brought it down to the bigger stage inside Hall 1 of SMX Convention Center in Pasay for the Asia Pacific (APAC) Regional Finals of ASUS ROG Masters 2017.
I was not able to be in this free 4-day gaming fest featuring known PC tourney games CS:G0 and DOTA 2. I had a bit on the day 3 and more on day 4 (as I think was the most exciting part of the event) as there are 3 games were at stake, the DOTA 2 Semis feat. Excecration and Clutch Gamers which the former got in 2-1 in best of 3 affair
In between, I was able to check in the experience area which spectators had a chance to experience the various ROG products from gaming laptops and PCs and well as some important peripherals with some of the popular titles on Steam. I also took time for the scheduled presscon led by Mr. George Su and Mr. Eason Lin from ASUS as the agenda were mainly on their 2nd yeatr of ROG Masters as well as their future plans (for a possible world final staging of it in the Philippines to an idea of having college & university-based gaming tournament) and they also took an oppotunity to bring in some teasers to the upcoming ASUS ROG Z370-based motherboards built for the Intel 8th Gen processors as well as the new ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1070 Ti graphics card that you saw earlier in my previous blog post.
Back to the gaming arena with the CS:GO Finals which Team Five Tower was able to bag the title in only two games while it was a total domination by Malaysia-based WG Unity in the DOTA 2 Finale versus Excecration for back-to-back victories
Those who were not able to catch the festivities were also broadcasted live and can be viewed once again on ASUS Republic of Gamers Philippines Youtube channel. Overall from the looks of those who visited this 4-day gaming event, it was well-organized and I am happy for the entire experience. Hoping for next year, ASUS ROG Philippines
