ESGS 2014: THE FLIPGEEKS COVERAGE

This past weekend (Nov 15-16) , our team was fortunate to be invited to the first ever E-SPORTS and GAMING SUMMIT (ESGS) in the country. Better known as ESGS the event was a 2 day event of e-sports and gaming convention combined held at the SMX convention center!

We were there before the gates opened and there was already a long que of players, gaming aficionados, even cosplayers wanting to go in!  When the halls finally opened, the sights and sounds were overwhelming; it was a sight to behold, like a gaming wonderland. The SMX was spacious enough to accommodate the game tournaments, the different gaming booth and even food stalls. The venue has suitable space to accommodate the people and foot traffic walking around SMX.

ESGS 2014 held the Philippine Finals to a number of games namely Heartstone, League of Legends, DOTA 2, Dragon Nest, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Point Blank Revolution, Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm and Tekken Tag Tournament.  Going around the convention floor, it was nice to see our hardworking and friendly local game developers showcasing their games to the attendees. ESGS 2014 was not all about fun and games, we were also able to attend helpful seminars such as the overclocking seminar conducted by the good folks at MSi, who also showcased their jaw dropping gaming rigs.

ESGS has a lot of potential! With the turnout of gaming fans and players alike this could be an ongoing event for years to come, gaming is universal and there’s something that caters to everyone. I’m hoping that this event could grow year after year and who knows we might have our own version of Tokyo Game Show or even our own E3 right in our country!

Congratulations to the team behind ESGS 2014, the ESGS organization and to Mr. Joebert Yu.  This event wouldn’t be possible without the help of its sponsors, SMART Philippines, GAMEX, SAMSUNG, MSi and others.  The entire Flipgeeks team had a lot of fun and we are already looking forward to next year’s event!

Be sure to check back the site as we would feature the different games that we tried out at this year’s ESGS! For now, view some of our coverage photos of ESGS 2014!
