There was a topic recently that there's an attempt to pass E-sports as a college degree, then many questions are popping up and asking the same question over and over again. Do we need an E-sports collge degree in order to compete in an E-sports tournament.
Well, the answer is that.. you don't need it and E-sports can be tried by anyone without this so called E-sports college degree.
All you need is that you have proper knowledge to play the game, have the skills to win the game, apply some sportsmanship and have fun!
Enter Bolt28, a new sports marketing agency that will be making waves in the next coming days because they formed themselves to bring one of the best E-sports event in the country. They are focusing on saerching for the best players in the country and get them to be part of their team and are ready to compete abroad.
It's so rare that we hear a marketing agency that focus on sports and e-sports, but I'm happy to learn that they are giving hope to Pinoy gamers to use their line up of activities and tournaments as a ladder to international competitive video game that can lead to real sports - like car racing.
Here at the event, I've tried the sim racing game - Gran Turismo, on a drive simulation set up connected to a PS4. The driving feels so real and its not easy to drive on a high speed circuit and reach to position 1.
According to Bolt28, this will be their grand entrance to local E-sports by launching a Sim racing E-sports tournament this coming April 22-26, 2020 in SM Clark. It will be the first search for the best player in the land, to compete head to head with other local sim racing players.
