Philippine Pro Gaming League returns with P1.3 million prize pool
'League of Legends,' 'Tekken 7,' 'Rules of Survival,' and 'Arena of Valor' are the tourney games

 

MANILA, Philippines  Local amateur gamers who like competing for prizes and gaming glory have something to look forward to as the Philippine Pro Gaming League (PPGL) returns, bearing with it a P1.3-million prize pool.

Last year, the prize pool was P800,000 but it only had 3 games: Dota 2Tekken 7, and Arena of Valor.

This year, 4 games are splitting the prize pool: League of Legends (LOL), esport tournament regular Tekken 7, battle royale title Rules of Survival (ROS), and mobile online battle arena Arena of Valor (AOV)

LOL and AOV will have the highest cash prizes, with the winning team for each game taking home P200,000. ROS has a top prize of P160,000 while Tekken 7 offers P90,000. LOL and AOV, however, are team games featuring 5-man teams, meaning the P200,000 prize will be split accordingly. ROS and Tekken 7 will likely award the prize to one individual as the organizers have not hinted at any-team based setup for the 2 games. 

Here’s a chart of the prizes:
