It will be a bonanza for gamers everywhere as three national championship titles and the lion’s share of the combined PHP 1,000,000 prize pool is on the line for the country’s most promising esports athletes in the highly-anticipated culmination of the Philippine Pro Gaming League 2019’s second season on August 9-11, 2019 at the Market! Market! Activity Center in Taguig City.
Organized by MET Events, Asia’s biggest esports events organizer, in partnership with Globe Telecom, the nationwide multi-title esports league is proud to present the gathering of the Philippines’ best League of Legends, Arena of Valor, and Tekken 7 players after more than two months of a nationwide search.
This season, the league has successfully fulfilled one of its missions—bring up-and-coming esports athletes nationwide closer towards the realization of their esports dreams—as more than 20 hopefuls look forward to their PPGL 2019 main stage debut.
PPGL League of Legends
Majority of the youngbloods are coming from the PPGL LoL leg. Vying for the defending champion Liyab’s crown are three faces fresh from the four-pronged online qualifiers. Although rookies, GH Alpha and GH Kaiju have proved that they should not be taken lightly as both were the reasons why league staples such as TNC Predator and Bren Esports failed to return for this season’s main event.
Advancing Teams
● Liyab
● GH Alpha
● Ruyal Esports
● GH Kaiju
PPGL LoL Prize Pool

PPGL Arena of Valor
After Kidlat’s rather electrifying journey towards the grand finals last season, Kalasag, another recognizable Arena of Valor clan, braved the grueling qualifiers to challenge the undisputed reign of the defending champions, Liyab. Meanwhile, tournament regular Bren Esports is back once more for their first PPGL AoV championship title.

PPGL MLBB
The Philippine’s largest multi-platform esports league went the extra mile this season to give not only amateur gamers a shot at being pro, but also industry professionals who possess hidden passion in competitive gaming. Representatives from multiple corporations around the Philippines tried their hand at playing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang on a higher level. Two tournament phases after, four teams emerged to be a cut above the rest.
