SIBOL will get P1,000,000 for every Gold Medal from SMART!

Months after SIBOL was formed, the Philippines’ Esports National Team for the upcoming SEA Games were looking for sponsors to help fund their training and achieve their goal for Gold Medals. One major Telco, known for supporting the GILAS Basketball Team has stepped up and will now also back SIBOL. Aimed at encouraging our national esports athletes to chase after the gold, SMART has launched the “Get Gold!” campaign, which offers cash incentives to SIBOL athletes, coaches and managers for every gold medal won: 2 million Pesos cash prize for team events (Dota 2, MLBB, AoV), and 1 million Pesos cash prize for individual events (Tekken 7, Hearthstone, Star Craft).

SIBOL is comprised of veterans in their respective games, brought together to heed the call of flag and country as our representatives. United through the battle cry “Lakad Matatag”, the national team aims for the very top of SEA Games competition, walking strong and proud no matter the challenge. As a stalwart in the Philippine Esports and gaming scene, SMART is fully committed in its support to the team through several initiatives.

To further enable SIBOLS’s quest for gold, SMART has also opened the doors of the SMART SIBOL Training Ground to the team, making it their headquarters and fitted with the latest mobile network innovations. The team’s training doesn’t end there, as there will be pocket tournaments and test events in the coming weeks to ensure SIBOL is honed to fighting form for the SEA Games.

“This is a huge milestone for esports, and it is our greatest honor to support the best Filipino gamers as they prove that we have the talent, skill, and drive to dominate this increasingly growing scene,” said Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Chief Revenue Officer and Smart President.

“We are very happy that Smart is joining us in our first outing with Sibol – no less than the 30th SEA Games! With the combined efforts of Smart and their Get Gold! program, as well as our other partners and the whole country, we believe that Sibol now has taken firm root and will be able to face all challenges that come their way on their path to victory,” said Ms. Jane J. Basas, PSEU co-Chairman and President of Cignal TV and TV5.
