Riding the success of the kickoff of the Estudyante Esports SummEEt at the historic Rizal Memorial Coliseum last March, Dark League is looking forward to the staging of the National Championships which will offer four titles in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PC games VALORANT and League of Legends, console title TEKKEN 8.

The tournament set later this year boasts a whooping pot of  P500,000 per game title for MLBB, VALORANT and LOL and P100,000 for TEKKEN.

Registration for the National Championships is set on June 25 until July 16 and open not only for the Estudyante Esports accredited campus esports organizations and schools under Estudyante Esports but also for campus esports teams officially supported by their school administrators and academic leaders.

There’s also no limit in number of teams per school as long as the members are currently in the senior high school and college levels as vouched by their respective campuses.

There will be separate eliminations and semifinals in the National Capital Region, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, culminating in on-site finals in September.

Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa, Lyceum of Subic Bay, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Dr. Juan G. Nolasco High School, Our Lady of Fatima University-Quezon City, Capitol Hills Christian School, Systems Plus College Foundation and Pateros Technological College are among schools that have accredited and are expected to vie in the competition.

The nationwide league remained part of Dark League’s vision toward redefining the role of esports within academia with a program that aims to elevate awareness, appreciation and responsible engagement with esports as a campus activity.

“Esports is here and we, in the academe, must embrace it. There is so much that has happened in the past few years in terms of technology. The challenge is not in the younger generation but in us, the older generation, how we accept and shift in this new paradigm,” said PLM president Atty. Sonny Reyes of DLS’ vision.

“Gathering students from more than a hundred schools and incorporating esports within and beyond the academic curriculum is indeed monumental for the longevity of this program,”  said Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richard Bachmann in support of DLS and the Estudyante Esports.
