Recently, the international gaming village was not surprised when an Esports tournament was suddenly held in a prison in the Philippines – An unprecedented precedent!
Today, video games in general have become an extremely popular entertainment tool and are growing as strongly as other entertainment media. Also from here, Esports tournaments are increasingly appreciated and attract no small amount.
However, it is really rare for prisoners to participate in Esports too. Yet it took place right in the Philippines, surprising the gaming community.
Specifically, Baguio prison held an Esports DotA tournament exclusively for inmates at the beginning of March. Of course, this is the only and first tournament in the world that takes place within the framework of a prison, so everyone is extremely surprised.
It is known that DotA is a custom map that is played on the Warcraft 3 platform without the Internet, instead just needing to set up a LAN. In particular, old computers can still run this game well.
Philippines, Vietnam and most SEA countries are all too familiar with Warcraft 3 DotA when the game has been associated with the first generation of gamers. Although not an official game, DotA has experienced a desirable golden age around the world, even being considered the “father” of MOBA games.
Up to now, the appearance of new games has caused DotA to cool down, but not so that the fans of the game have decreased anywhere!
