Once only played in neighborhood cybercafes, eSports has continually become a mainstream sport in the Philippines. It is predicted to be worth at least $19 billion worldwide and has garnered the attention of global companies to capture opportunities in countries like the Philippines—which has produced world-acclaimed gamers in recent competitions.

This year’s SEA Games will mark the first time in history that eSports will be considered as an official medal event.
