Acer announced that the Asia Pacific Predator
League 2020 will be postponed to spring 2021 in the Philippines due to the
ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The health and safety of the gaming community
remains Acer’s primary concerns, and the company has been working closely with
public health authorities and their advisories.
The same qualifying teams from the local
preliminary competitions will attend the finale in Spring 2021, and the event
has been renamed as Predator League 2020/2021 with a prize pool of US$400,000.
“The postponement of the Asia Pacific Predator
League, instead of a cancellation, demonstrates Acer’s commitment to the gaming
community,” said Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific Regional
Operations. “With the ongoing Covid-19 situation, we made the decision to move
the competition to Spring 2021 for the safety and best interests of the
tournament’s competitors, fans, spectators and staff.”
Almost 20,000 tickets have already been sold
for the tournament, which was originally scheduled to take place in Manila,
Philippines in February 2020 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City in
Manila. A total of 17 regions entered the local qualifier competitions held
from October 2019.
The inaugural Asia Pacific Predator League was
held in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2018 to reinforce the Predator brand's commitment
to supporting the gaming industry in the region. The second edition in 2019 was
held at Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, watched by over 10,000 fans in
real-time. It garnered 4.3 million views online and the peak concurrent
viewership reached 123,000.
