Never thought that eSports will gonna be as big like this. So big that players can even bought a mansion or fancy cars if you're really good at playing online games. Back in highschool I remember that I used to play Starcraft, Halflife then Counter-strike. Today I saw dozens of dota2, counter and mobile legends peeps earning from 1-3 million dollars as a pro.
That's Ridiculous! Maybe millennial age of game prize money bigger than Olympics or World Cup! Galaxy Battles will be bigger and better this season 2. After its season 1 success in Shenzen, China. The organizers Fallout Gaming (FG) and Purpose Win (PWELL) that this season will be in Philippines.
Upbringing the tournament in South East Asia both organizers had a vision of reinventing the DOTA2 sport in a competitive scene. Delivering tournament itself in both amateur and pro scene at par best of the worlds major.
With the prize pool of 1 million dollar that will commence mid November. The regional qualifiers and open tournaments through 6 regions China, South East Asia, Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States then North & South America. Will run in 4 weeks with 8 qualifying slot in each regions.
That's how tough it is to be to be declared as regional then world champ later. Galaxy Battles will also allocate 2 for the 1st time, following these 10 slots allocated to the qualifying phases. Galaxy Battles will be directly inviting 8 teams across 6 regions to the main event accommodating 18 teams.
Main event will be at the largest Indoor Stadium in the world called the Philippine Arena in Bulacan. That can accommodate 60k seating capacity esports battle ground where the top 18 team f the world will battle for 1m US$ total prize pool.
Aside from that Music Festival will also feature local and international artist during the duration of the event. Theme park activities, beverage zones and rest areas where sponsors feature their products, engagements and services. See more of tournament press-con rules video clips here.
