Everything You Need to Know About UAAP Esports

It finally happened. The UAAP has embraced esports, as it should: if the International Olympic Committee’s vote of confidence in esports is not enough, perhaps the reality on the ground is: Countless schools and universities have esports teams, and millions of online spectators—mostly students—watch professional esports athletes play. Now that the UAAP’s 8 universities have formed an esports league of their own, starting with NBA2K, Valorant, and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the landscape of collegiate sports in the Philippines is set for a massive shift.
