Ragnarok Champions’ League 2019

The Siege of the Year is Here: Ragnarok Champions’ League 2019

It’s the time of the year again for the biggest siege of the Ragnarok Online guilds reigning from Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore: the Ragnarok Champions’ League.

The Ragnarok Champions’ League is all about dominating the War of Emperium 2, a weekly siege where guilds conquer castles. But this year, there will be a twist as the mechanics will be different from last year. The weekly rankings will be unpredictable because guilds will have the chance to lose or steal their hard-earned points from WoE in Fight Night which is going to be a part of the competition.

Starting on October 17, in six weeks, guilds will contend in the guild war (WoE 2) every Thursday to gain points depending on the castles they’ve conquered. Every week, the points for each castle change. Then, they will have to risk gaining or losing their points in Fight Night that will happen every Saturday.

The results determine their rank for the week which will be updated in the event’s scoreboard. When the final battle concludes, the 1^st in rankings will receive a cash prize of PHP 100,000 with 12 God item ingredients and 6,000 White Potion Box. There will also be a maximum of PHP 105,000 cash prize for the Fight Night on top of the total cash prize of PHP 180,000 which really gets the gears turning for the guilds to prepare. Aside from getting the cash and in-game items as prizes, the top 6 guilds will also have the chance to participate in a bigger competition.

In the war of conquering and overpowering, how will these guilds try to take the reins? Who will have an aggressive take? Who will use their wits and outsmart their foes? Whose war cry will drown the others and be heard the most? Anticipate as the best of conquerors rise and be the champion of the league. Full details of the competition can be found on the official Ragnarok Online PH website: https://tinyurl.com/yxtvlqz8 .

View of Bridgetowne from Rosario, Pasig

In my almost 3 years working in Bridgetowne Libis, this is the first time that I have taken picture of this place from the other side of the Marikina River. Sharing with you the pictures of Zeta, Exxa and Tera from Rosario, Pasig City. Here’s an info about this place.

Bridgetowne Business Park – is one of Robinsons Land Corporation’s (RLC) 3 IT parks together with CyberGate (Mandaluyong) and Robinson’s CyberGate (Davao). It’s a mixed-use development located along C-5 road, Ugong Norte, Quezon City. The development is located near the Ortigas Central Business District. (1) and is easily accessible to public transportation such as jeepneys, MRT, and shuttle services connecting to major roads such as EDSA, Ortigas Avenue, and E. Rodriguez Jr Avenue. (2)
Bridgetowne is a 30-hectare property that will have a Robinson’s Mall and a hotel (3) and is worth P30-billion (4). It started out as a two-hectare property in Libis acquired by RLC in 2012 from Republic Glass Holdings Inc. Bridgetowne will span both sides of the Pasig River (near Rosario) and is expected to be completed by 2022. (5)
Three buildings are currently situated in Bridgetowne – Tera, Exxa and Zeta. A 4th building called Giga is currently being constructed. All these buildings are PEZA-registered prime office buildings.
Bridgetowne IT park in Quezon City is quickly proving to be a major IT-BPO business hub, with influential IT-BPO industry players established a headquarters in the area already.
Today, there are numerous office spaces for rent in Bridgetowne ranging from private offices to coworking space for companies that want to operate in Quezon City. There are a few key reasons driving Bridgetown as a location of choice for IT BPO players. (6)
In April 2016, the 1,000 square meters Robinson’s Bridgetowne Tent was unveiled (7). In July 2019, RLC teamed up with Hong Kong Land Group to jointly invest around P5.6 billion to develop a residential enclave in Bridgetowne (7).

The 4th Internet of Things Summit, SMX SM Aura

I was fortunate enough to get invited to this year’s Internet of Things (IoT) Summit at SMX SM Aura, Taguig. It was my first time to attend this event and this year is about the adoption of IPv6 protocol and 5G technology. This year is also the 2^nd IPv6 + 5G Global Summit. I’m surprised to know that India is the leading country in Asia when it comes to the adoption of the latest protocol, IPv6.

I’ve seen a lot of exhibitors in this summit and learned new technologies. There’s the usual 3D printer company and Samsung has a booth that displays their latest WiFi routers for Business/Enterprise customers. There’s a robot that’s very interesting, a home-innovation tech and a hologram-projection software company. It’s nice to attend seminars like this. It helps me keep up with the latest in technology and the Internet.
Again, my gratitude to Evy Raquion of IOT Summit PH for the invitation.

Hoping For A Back-To-Back Win For OG

Tomorrow is the big day of DotA2's The International (TI) 9 at Shanghai, China. OG successfully made it to the finals by eliminating PSG LGD in the Upper Bracket. They await the winner of Team Liquid vs PSG LGD tomorrow for the Grand Finals. I am hoping that it will be a match between OG and Team Liquid – both champions of TI.

I've been a fan of OG since I watched the rivalry of former team mates N0tail and Fly (of Evil Geniuses) and I was amazed at OG's performance last year. They were not directly invited to TI8 but they made it via regional tournament. Then they slay everyone at the lower bracket to finally eliminate PSG LGD at the grand finals.

I've been playing DotA2 for several years now, but I only followed The International last year. In fact, I missed the Manila Major when it was staged here in the Philippines. My friends at work got me into watching professional players play the game that we love. It's fun. It's like watching professional basketball or soccer matches.

I even created a Twitter account just to follow professional DotA2 players and teams. Slowly, I get familiar with the teams from South East Asia (SEA) like our very own TNC Predator and Mineski. I also got acquainted with Virtus Pro, Team Secret, Ninja in Pyjamas, Alliance, etc.

The International is the biggest eSports event. Last year, the total pool prize for DotA2 reached $20+ million. This year, the prize pool for TI9 is now at $33 million dollars. That's just 25% of all the total earnings from Battle Pass and other in-game items. Imagine how much Valve is earning just from DotA2 alone.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping that OG will finally be the first team to claim the Aegis of Immortality (the trophy) two times. I hope N0tail, Ceb, JerAx, ana and Topson will have a great time tomorrow and claim the biggest prize in eSports as well as gaining the admiration of Chinese fans (who boo them in their match with PSG LGD).

Good luck OG!

The Night to Brawl is Here: Ragnarok Online Fight Night 2

After the successful merge of the servers Valkyrie (PH) and Thor (MYSG), here comes the night to brawl and be the best in Valhalla.

Electronics Extreme Ltd. starts off its events for the combined Ragnarok Online server with Fight Night 2 after the two regional servers were recently combined into one. Fight Night 2 is the battle to prove the strength of the guilds by competing in a 56-vs-56 tournament.

After releasing a teaser last month, details were finally announced in the official page regarding Fight Night 2, the sequel to one of the most anticipated events of Ragnarok Online. The first Fight Night was held earlier this year both in PH and MYSG servers separately. But this time, since all players are now in one server, all guilds will come to face their counterparts from other regions. Although this is the second Fight Night, it will be the first event where all Filipino, Malaysian, and Singaporean players come together.

Having more competitors stand against them, who will be able to fight their way and succeed to reach the top? Find out through the updates from the official website https://roextreme.com/msp.
