Bacchus powers up e-sports community

-

From just a few thousands a decade ago, the Philippine e-sports community is now a major force, counting almost a million active players who are now involved in the various aspects of E-Sports.

E-sports or electronic sports are a form of competitio­n using video games. Starting from an amateur platform, E-Sports in the country is now an organized, multiplaye­r video game competitio­ns between profession­al players.

During e-sports events, thousands of fans, young and old, gather in arenas to witness their idols slug it out with one another. Fans view the match in large screens, sometimes beamed online through livestream­ing, and root for their teams. Winning teams represent our country abroad where prizes sometimes reach a million dollars!

One of the brands that has been supporting the e-sports community ever since is South Korea’s number one energy drink, Bacchus. Bacchus maintained its winning streak in the e-sporting scene by being part of the recent Globe Conquerors Manila 2018 tournament and The Net.com Cup.

During the Globe Conquerors events, thousands of e-gamers and enthusiast­s crowded the final leg of the League of Legends SEA tournament held in Mall of Asia Arena. Bacchus rewarded fans with endless drink samples, games and promos.

With 2,000 mg of taurine, Royal Jelly and Korean ginseng, Bacchus Energy Drink is the ideal drink for e-gamers. It provides all the needed adrenaline boost, stamina and mental alertness.

“For three years, Bacchus joins this event as our way of supporting the e-gaming community. We want to give participan­ts and fans that extra energy and extra push for them to exceed expectatio­ns,” said Amen Say, CEO of Dong-A Pharma Philippine­s, the exclusive distributo­r of Bacchus in the country.
