We waited for three years for us to have a media pass at this recent gaming festival (even a "force" was about to prevent us to be on that spot) but we still made it.
In a good way, we were not able to use the ticket that we bought at early bird of the recently concluded E-Sports and Gaming Summit (ESGS) at SMX Convention Center in MOA Complex. By the way, these pics that you will be about to see are from Day 2 but we are in spectator mode in Day 3 to enjoy more of this gaming festival
As they already occupied all of the four halls of the said venue (compared to halls 2 to 4), it set a difference, us and the rest of the people had more space to be back and forth . The main stage was definitely powered by their co-presentors PLDT and Smart. Other big stages that we checked in the likes of ASUS and ROG, Road to the Nationals and Logitech G. In terms of brands, it's more diversed this year as well as the food choices (as during the last hours of day 3, we even grabbed the Php 10 promo of one of their featured energy drinks).
The main attraction that we got on our first few hours were the guys from Square Enix to promote the upcoming game Left Alive before we came in to meeting room 1 for AOC and AGON Gaming showcase of their newest consumer and gaming monitors. The action was also interesting in the Playbook.ph space on their series of tourneys including Marvel vs Capcom 3 Infinite and Tekken 7. We also had some glimpses of Z-Gold and Tier One booths with some of their talents
We already mentioned that we are knockin' our doors for a media pass and it was our first time to be in their media room fit for possible interviews and also these pics which we already uploaded in the area. It occupied the entire F4 hall at the second hall and that was very good enough for that huge space to operate
Day 3 for us was more for enjoyable moments especially after we had our coverage of the ASUS ROG Phone debut there. Like what happened in 2015 or 2016, the show went a bit late until at almost 11 pm (but that's alright) as we witnesed a BO5 Road To The Nationals Finals on DOTA 2 which got but Sterling Global Dragons by 3-1
Despite some of the obstacles that we had to be just to be on this 3-day gaming event, it was still better compared to 2017 overall in all aspects which kudos to the organizers. Meanwhile, enjoy more of our pictures at this blog post. We also want to thank the brand (you know who you are) for the blessing that we were able to have that media pass that we deserve for years
