As the Philippines continues to grow into a viable gaming and eSports market, Taiwan’s ICT industry further strengthens its support for local eSports athletes and enthusiasts by introducing its most advanced technologies and powerful devices to the country.

The 2019 Taiwan Excellence eSports Cup will be held October 4-6, 2019, at the SM City North EDSA The Block Atrium in Quezon City. Guests and visitors will be able to experience the thrill of eSports action from both the battle arena as well as the sidelines. The event will showcase a lineup of Taiwan’s best gaming brands and their products, alongside an exhilarating showdown between the best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and League of Legends (LoL) teams.

Organized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), partners Asus Republic of Gamers, Aorus, AVerMedia, In-Win, Kingmax, Transcend, XPG, Team Group, Zadak, G.Skill, and Zyxel, this three-day grand event will feature some of Taiwan’s top PC gaming devices and accessories.

Gaming enthusiasts and visitors will get the opportunity to see up close and experience first-hand the latest top-caliber gaming laptops from Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG), the official gaming PC provider of the 2019 Taiwan Excellence eSports Cup, including ROG Strix Scar III G531, ROG Strix G G731GV, Asus TUF Gaming FX505DV, and ROG Zephyrus M.

Kingmax Semiconductor, Transcend, and Team Group will also flex their line of memory cards and external portable SSDs, and Zyxel will introduce its tri-band Wi-Fi system.

Selections of peripherals such as gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, and RGB lighting systems from XPG, Zadak, and G.Skill will also be demonstrated by on-ground product experts.

Beyond the booths, guests and visitors will be treated to games and activities where they can have a chance to win prizes and giveaways.
