Philippine Teams Fare Well, APAC Predator League 2026 Host India Announced
Thursday, January 16, 2025
And then, there was one.
The gallant efforts of our Philippine teams was quite fruitful, but the championship went to our neighbors from Malaysia and Indonesia.
Alter Ego (for Valorant) and Myth Avenue Gaming (for DOTA 2) just won the Predator Shield for 2025. They have bested teams from 14 regions, all falling to really good strategy and teamwork on both games. They won 65,000 US Dollars in prize money. ZOL Esports of Acer Philippines won 1st Runner up and a 20,000 dollar pot. Team Ivory on the other hand placed 2nd Runner Up which gets them 7,500 USD, still a great finish. MVP prizes went to CUD of Alter Ego and Bob King of Myth Avenue Gaming. They have a separate prize for that too around 10K USD. In the two days, they also held several celebrity performances, CosWalk competitions, different activities to celebrate the occasion. Follow their official website to know more about the winners.
At the event, they also announced the next hosts which will be Acer India. So see you in Delhi perhaps?
Acer Outs Environmental Friendly Laptops at CES 2025
Thursday, January 09, 2025
They also utilize an Intel Core Ultra 200H, something that they have in both the new Swift Go and this Aspire Vero 16. The new processors were designed sustainably, making it lightweight, with a 3K OLED display on one and 2K IPS on the other. They've also added a few networking products to take advantage of 5G connectivity which works a lot on mobile. Much of these laptops have a recycled plastic chassis, something that probably made merit with their CES Innovation Award honor in the event.
I'd love to have those routers and dongle since we're probably heading to Wi Fi 7 standard tech in devices soon.
Acer's 6th Asia Pacific (APAC) Predator League All Set in Malaysia!
Sunday, January 05, 2025
We witnessed the competition here in Manila a few months ago and now, they get to travel to Malaysia for the actual Acer APAC Predator League for 2025.
Since the finals is being hosted in Malaysia, the event will be done at MITEC which usually is a venue for trade expos. This time though there will be 28 teams from different regions in the world. Teams will be battling it out in MMORPG game DOTA 2 and top FPS game Valorant. The winner will be holding up the coveted Predator Shield and a whopping cash prize of 400,000 US Dollars (which will surely change lives no?).
The event will also be a place for different activities because it will be attended by gaming greats, online stars, even cosplay. This is part of their efforts to promote eSports not just in the country but the whole region. The athletes will be donning Acer's Predator gaming rigs, to hopefully showcase how great it is when it comes to response, power and beating your opponents. From Predator Orion X desktop units, to Predator Galea 365 Gaming Headsets, people will surely enjoy every blood rushing game on the Predator XB253Q screens. Folks will also be seeing the "It Lies Within" as performed by different world class artists (perhaps SB19, G22, Dara, Minzy and Sarah Geronimo included!). Hopefully, our boys from ZOL ESports and IVORY would win and make this an even better time for the Philippines! Laban Pilipinas!
G22 Performs "It Lies Within" at Predator League
Tuesday, November 12, 2024
Popular PPOP Girl Group G22 took the stage to perform Predator League's "It Lies Within" theme at the finals in Cebu City. They are after all Acer ambassadors and from the looks of it, AJ, Alfea and Jaz were ecstatic in performing the single at Robinsons Galleria in Cebu. They did this in the Manila leg a couple months back, but this resonates with different regions because they did it in different languages too in different countries. Acer's Senior Marketing Manger Princess Laosantos was happy about the song as it captures what ESports players feel, like the rush to achieve greatness in the sport.
For those who don't know, the Predator League is a yearly competition that aims to find the best of the best in game titles here in the Asia Pacific region. It's a great avenue to start your ESports career, sort of a grassroots level discovery for this huge industry. The Grand Finals will happen in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and they've got USD 400,000 prize for the winners. The Philippines will be represented by Execration, Ivory for DOTA 2, while ZOL Esports and Team Secret will be doing their skirmishes in Valorant.

PHILIPPINES Win Big at Acer's Asia Pacific Predator League 2024
Thursday, January 18, 2024
From a gamer spectator such as me, I always knew the Philippines would fare well in the recent regional competition, Acer's Predator League 2024. At the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City Philippines, fans flocked to this venue to watch DOTA 2 and Valorant country representatives (in Asia Pacific) as they battle it out to see who's best in this region.
There were over 26 world class teams who were raring to do their best in the 2 day event. The prelims was fun albeit being a bit uneasy for some teams because they had only one match to qualify for the next round. It certainly wasn't easy to adjust that fast but those who did took advantage of the format and won their respective rounds. It was also fun to also talk to the eSports athletes before they went into the actual match, here's some of them on video!
The international eSports teams also talked about their experience doing the tournament here in Manila. They did expect matches would be hard since some of them are Tier 1 franchise teams, and a lot of them wanted to experience what it feels like being in a match with them. Although some of them lost their matches, they learned a lot in the process and promise to be back with an even greater team soon.
Aside from that, executives from different regions went on to tell us how it's been actually very beneficial to run these events in their respective countries. To say the least, business has been good and they are planning to do the regional Predator League in Malaysia next year. They also want to do it bigger and better in the coming years as they find big value in knowing how name recall plays in the gaming industry and that's exactly why they're number 1 in the market!

| PABLO was super good! |
The Asia Pacific Predator League was also the best in entertainment. World class Filipino performers showed up and got us partying at the start, between games and in the finale. On day 1 alone, I got my dose of Valorant fare as Ylona Garcia who sang "Entertain Me" when NEON was launched as a character, oh how I love her! Aside from that, Urbanddub, Al James and Donny Pangilinan joined in the fun plus a full Valorant game with SB19 and other Acer influencers made the evening extra epic! Asia's Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo also ended the day with her performance, people were at awe!
Day 2 had Josh Cullen, bands Sandwich and Spongecola, Pablo (who did a new single on stage) and KZ Tandingan give us the absolute best in Philippine talents, it was like a full blown concert with the games on the finale day.
And in the end, it was a sweet day for the Philippines as Team Secret won the Valorant championship and Blacklist International Rivalry won the DOTA2 championship. Both teams from the Philippines won 65,000 dollars and their own Predator Shield. Initially, BOOM Esports was actually favored to challenge Team Secret, but Japan's FAV Gaming surprised them all. They got 20,000 dollars together with Execration (for DOTA2), and BOOM Esports + Team Flash got 3rd Place with a 7,500 pot each. Team Aster and IHC Esports got the same for DOTA2. Intel MVP awards went to Jeremy “Jremy” Cabrera (for Valorant) and Marc Polo “Raven”Fausto (for DOTA2), getting a prize of 10,000 dollars too.
If you're up to it, some of the performances are already up on my TikTok account so just search @kumagcow there, and some of the country interviews were done live on my FB page (just search kumagcow) as it's all there!

Portability and Performance with the Acer Swift Edge 16

Sustainability, Powerful Gaming Laptops, Awesome Speakers #NextAtAcer 2023 Global Conference
Wednesday, January 04, 2023
To see what they're offering this year, we listened in to the #NextAtAcer 2023 Global Conference which they streamed at their FB page and YouTube channel. Aside from their recent environmental efforts which has been quite successful in the past few years, this year, they strengthen their goals for sustainability in 2035. To make our world a cleaner and better place, not just about technology, but people.
Jason Chen the CEO of Acer says "As a leading tech company, we will leverage our industry to touch everyday lives. Half a million people now utilize our Vero line worldwide, a green and sustainable product which we continue to produce. Also half of our suppliers now have transformed their businesses to become sustainable, and we want to make this accessible to gamers, creators, and those who are on the go. We want to explore more ways to empower our users, and we are thrilled to showcase exciting new products."
Thin and Light Series
People value time and flexibility is important. The Swift Go is light, in unique colorways, Evo i7 certified laptop that sync with phones, giving you improved productivity. 16:10 aspect ratio, higher performance and improved cooling. It's made from 100% recycled plastic, background blur, fast charging Type C charger, and a stunning OLED display.
The new ACER Halo Swing (wireless speaker) has Google Voice, enhanced base, IPX5 waterproofed, customized LED display with RGB lighting. It's got the right amount of light while preserving batteries.
3D Gaming
SpatialLabs TrueGame comes installed on gaming profiles, giving you steroscoping gaming experience on the laptops. It also now has 3D Ultra, making individual renders for both your eyes giving stunning details and immersive gameplay. You can also customize 3D depth to your preference so you get a better view in selected games each time.
Predator Helios 16 and 18 was also launched, some beefy machines with top of the line 13th Gen Core Mobile processors from Intel. With 24 cores, industry leading technologies, it's going to be a different game on gaming laptops with these on it. It'll be best for streaming, editing and recording in one place. Two times better in rendering, that alone could sell it for content creators like me. You can also sync data on iOS and Android.
The laptops will be pushed into their maximum potential and doesn't heat up because of new designed rectangular heat pipes to heat doesn't stay on the machine. 32GB RAM, 2TB storage, and a really nice display with the new Predator X27U, to good for your games without causing eye strain, and can be used with a KVM switch so you don't have to bother bringing in more cables in the mix. They also have Predator X45, if you prefer a larger display. They also have the new Orion X case, if you want a more powerful case for your hardware.
Looks like things are looking good on Acer's part of the woods. More products that are more powerful, that produces less heat, a thin form factor that can process even more work for you, doesn't that sound amazing? Make sure you watch the replays on Acer's social channels if you're interested!
SARAH GERONIMO and Unbox the Holidays with Acer Philippines
Monday, November 21, 2022
Looks like our good friends from Acer Philippines has just launched their Holiday campaign. We got into a festive mood last week as PBB host Robi Domingo started off telling us who's about to perform and she's terribly missed by Popsters, and ordinary folks alike. Yes, she's the one and only Popstar Queen Sarah Geronimo-Guidicelli. But before that, we looked around at what Acer is offering this holiday season.
Executives from Acer and the Queen of Pop Sarah Geronimo took the stage to discuss about the laptops and entertain the crowd that afternoon. The participating devices include the Aspire 3, Aspire Vero, Aspire 5, Swift 3 and Swift 5. Product prices range from Php 28K and Php 88K, so you really have a lot to choose from. The amount of GC's you get depends on the unit you purchase, but max you can have is 8K SM Digital Giftcards.
Sarah was super excited to perform on stage since it's been a while since she has done this outside of studios. She loved it so much, she gave us reason to see that there's another dance craze that will happen very soon.
@kumagcow She missed performing live on stage, here's Sarah Geronimo! #SarahGeronimo #tiktokshowbizreporter #EntertainmentPH ♬ original sound - John Bueno
Thank you Acer Philippines for having us! It was so fun to be there that afternoon!

Sunday, August 14, 2022
It was fun, full of music and fantastic performers at the Acer Day 2022. Tickets for this concert were given to individuals who buy from their sustainable line the Acer Vero or donating to Heritatge foundation and recyclables dropped of The Plaf which is a social enterprise who recycles plastic stuff.
It was certainly a good cause and fans went through the lines like clockwork, filling the Mall of Asia Arena to the brim. Acer also did several promos at the venue with their laptops and home products. Then the concert started.
Performers include SB19, OC Records' Adie, girl group KAIA, Janina Vela, SUD, Team Payaman, and my personal favorite Parokya ni Edgar. Chito Miranda started his set by telling the audience that they were not there to be just seen on stage to perform, told everyone to come near it and told us to enjoy the occasion with them. We did!
