Asserting Davao City’s dominance in the Mindanao DotA scene, two Davao City teams advanced in the Mindanao Qualifiers of the GG GamePhilippine Regional Wars Tournament. Teams Ch¡LL and CORPO, the top two teams of Davao City, won their respective semi-finals games last night and earned the right to represent Mindanao in the PRW Elimination Round.
Starting Week Two of the Philippine DotA Improvement Project, Team ZZZ will not be playing in the online tournament. As replacement, New Bloods Champion Team STSM will be playing.
Proving all their doubters and critics wrong, Team Mineski, Philippine representative to the GG GameAsian DotA Championship Tournament, easily won both games versus India’s Team Error. Each game lasted less than an hour, with Mineski dominating over Error.
He then proceeds to evaluate the current situation of the top Philippine teams compared to those abroad. Most teams abroad, specifically China and Malaysia dedicate significant work hours to playing and practicing serious match games with their respective practice teams (second teams). Philippine teams, meanwhile, lack second teams to practice with. Furthermore, there is a shortage of high level competitive tournaments in the country.
