It was a superior battle like no other during the much-anticipated last leg of the Cyberzone Challenger Series, a two-day esports event flagship of Cyberzone, the premiere tech and lifestyle hub at SM Supermalls.
“As Cyberzone continues to thrive in reaching out as many esports enthusiasts and geek culture fans as we can, we brought our season finale of the Cyberzone Challenger Series to SM City Clark for two reasons: (1) to provide an avenue for gathering the community in the North; and, (2) to host our final leg in one of the premier SM Supermalls in the country,” said Patrick Raymund G. Pacla, vice president, operations and marketing (Sponsorship and Cyberzone), SM Supermalls.
Presented by RealMe, PC Express, and PLDT Home, participants came together on October 12-13 for intense gaming competitions featuring Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Tekken 8, and Honor of Kings, and other side activities! Gamers battled it out to the last second for daily prize pools of P25,000.
‘20V | Siops’ was crowned the Tekken 8 Tournament Champion, while ‘VALHALLA’ won the 5v5 Championship for Mobile Legends. The TEKKEN placers (2nd to 4th) were ‘AAE | VB | Chepler’, ‘<East-Sports> Maru’, and ‘9Tz | O P T’. ‘RV FRYD ESPORTS’, ‘Metro Black Dime’ and ‘Malas na People’ clinched the 2nd to 4th spots in MLBB.
The Cyberzone Challenger Series, concluding its three-part leg of the year, serves as a platform for gamers to demonstrate their passion and gaming mastery — making it a social hub for the community, where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of competitive e-sports contests while connecting with like-minded enthusiasts. The first two runs of 2024 were held in May at SM North EDSA and in August at SM Mall of Asia.
AI-powered experiences at Cyberzone
Apart from the e-sports competition, mallgoers also had the chance to meet the Cyberzone Crew — the tech hub’s AI-powered virtual influencers. These five characters are meant to elevate the consumer experience for SM’s all-in-one area for everything tech.
Fans were able to interact with the Cyberzone Crew through innovative AI-powered kiosks. From shopping to exploring different parts of the mall, or even asking them questions on all-things Cyberzone, the Cyberzone Crew brought the magic of digital immersion to anyone who would approach and talk with them.
