With this, Globe Prepaid endeavored to hit the sweet spot with the GoESPORTS Game On Training Camp, a Virtual Hangouts event enabling budding Esports content creators to harness their talents and make a mark in the gaming scene.

As Globe Prepaid remains committed to fuel the passion of Esports in the country, its very own GoESPORTS Game On Training Camp featured master classes on Shoutcasting 101, to Scriptwriting, to Spontaneous Speaking.

Participants, all between the ages of 16 and 25, also enjoyed gaming action as popular gamers Yskaela and OhMyV33nus went head-to-head on Mobile Legends Bang Bang while Boss Lucio and Archer Perez casted their stream. Those inside the Globe Prepaid Virtual Hangouts passion portal likewise got the chance to vote for their chosen player, and one lucky voter won P3,000 GCash credits at the end of the game.

They were also awarded with top-tier streaming/casting gears worth P40,000, including the latest Logitech Gaming Wireless Headset, HyperX Quadcast Microphone and Glorious Model O mouse. They will also showcase what they learned from the training camp as they take part in Tier One and Globe Esports events.

Capping the GoESPORTS Game On Training Camp was “The Final Round”, a hybrid event held recently at XYLO at The Palace and streamed via GGWP Facebook page, Globe’s Twitch account and Globe Prepaid Virtual Hangouts passion portal.

Opening the program, Tier One CEO Tryke Guiterrez shared his insights and personal experience on what it takes to make it in the Esports industry. He stated, “I think this platform really allows a lot of new players to come in, train, and learn from – what you need to be able to acquire in terms of skills and everything else when it comes to gaming. Isapuso niyo yung lahat ng natutunan niyo.”

Guiterrez added, “At the end of the day, you need to be able to pave your own path and be yourself. Try to find your identity and be a source of positivity for the gaming space because this is an industry that a lot of people look down on. So hopefully you can become ambassadors of the industry and create a better future for gaming and Esports.” Guiterrez was also joined by Tier One Talent Rojean Delos Reyes, and training camp mentors Archer Perez, Boss Lucio, and Odin Tayco.
