The cat is finally out of the bag.
Barely a week ago, Level Up! Games marketing director Jake San Diego hinted in an interview with Inquirer.net’s hackenslash that they “are actually asking all players to stay tuned for an announcement … that would raise the bar in online gaming in the country.”
Well, we didn’t have to wait long for the announcement (although I’m already late in posting it). Simply unprecedented.
Here’s the scoop from Inquirer.net’s Relly Carpio:
The Ragnarok World Championships will be held for the first time outside South Korean developer Gravity’s motherland, and it will be here in the Philippines at Level Up! Live 2008 at the World Trade Center on October 18 and 19.
“We are flying in 10 teams from different countries. It’s going to be the first international online game tournament to be hosted by the Philippines,” San Diego said.
This is definitely one event this year worth waiting and watching out for.
