Hello nakitan nako imo comment a while back but I wanted to give it the proper attention in hopes that you will read this with an open mind.

I like to liken eSports as the grass roots of technology and the digital culture. It is one way for the youth to be exposed to the digital culture with the hopes that they will embrace technology and use it one day to uplift their lives. True eSports, video games or even any sports and hobbies in general can have its negative impact. But I feel it is best that we provide guidance rather than shy away from it. Why? If we leave it alone on its own, eSports will continue to happen with or without our guidance and if you leave it to the capitalist world. Publishers or other entities will just take it upon themselves in a manner that will derive the most profit for them without relegating much to the positive aspects of gaming.

I for one can vouch that gaming has strong positive benefits that has made an important impact in my life. I am one of those who was into competitive gaming in the Starcraft Broodwar days. The discipline in training and the mental toughness you build up in having to compete long hours in stressful environments went a long way to helping me today be a competitive athlete in physical sports such as Ironman triathlon events where it's the mental toughness that allows me to place in the upper 10% of a 2,000+ participants. And it's the decision making and mental toughness that allows me to oversee multiple organizations some with over 600 employees under my responsibility. It has also given me aspirations to be able to dream of breaking a Guiness record and actually achieving it back in 2010. I can definitely say eSports has helped me with all of this.
With me perhaps being a parent sometime soon in the future. If you would ask me if I would steer clear my kids from eSports and gaming? Definitely not. I will nurture it and provide guidance to maximize on the positive benefits as a family and steer clear on the negative impacts rather than shun it and let them on their own. And that's what we want to do with PeSO and with these events.

Ok raman unta ni cya as long naa lang tarung na guidance ang mga anak from parents. So both sides if we nurture it into a gamer and with a proper guidance w/ the parents.

hahaha.. looya anang usa ka tiguwang diha oi... gi rakrakan ug maayo, wa katingog... unsaon man gud ning mga pinoy kay negative man kaayo ug panglantaw anang video games. Sa uban nasod like china kay gi promote jud ug maayo ang dota, naa man gani didto gameshow sa tv nga dota, unya ang mga parents sa mga batan.on nga players kay ni cheer jud sila ug todo suporta sa ilang mga anak...

if they think nga video games makadaot sa mga bata... well, naa may mga ginikanan nga mao jud unta ang mo disiplina sa ilang mga anak...

OT : depende raman jd sad na sa studyante ug giunsa nila pag career ilang dota 2. ang uban kay magsigi ra sad ug pangayog kwarta unya way sudsud sa klase unya ang ginikanan kay namaligya na intawn ug kabaw para lang makaskwela ang anak. tan.awn sad nato ang capability sa atong dinuwaan ug qualified ba ta anang tournaments before ta mag cutting classes kay padung ra jd tas mahay. dli ko against gaming pero huna2.on jd ug makadaghan before ta modecide ug cutting classes kay luoy pd baya atong ginikanan. mostly sad guro aning mga gamers nga nakasud sa tournament kay naay mga saktong kwarta (opinion ra nako) maong maningkamot sad jd ta in other way for the sake of our future.

Back to the topic. : maytag makalahutay na ang team Philippines oi. dota 2 player here. go go go!!!

Naa ra jud na sa tao ,pero sa mga bata, need jud guidance usa kay masobraan paman, ok nila muduwa anang dota 2 as a way of pastime or entertainment lingaw2x, pero daghan be-the-be-the, lahi ra tawn ang bata muduwa ug dota 2 ug mga pre-adult/adult kay the latter muduwa sa ilahang part competitive gaming (represents pride for country and location) + professionalism (naay reasonable paycheck) + entertainment + pastime napud.

Ang gipakita ani nga event kay to showcase lng nga nagkadako ang e-Sports diri sa Cebu and hopeful nga matagaan ug support. Not making kids

[tsunade]

Yeah true. Pero mas maayo jd kn nka tiwas ug school cla until they can earn a degree. Kay pra nako unsaon manang money kn d ta educated; wala ta values and d ta kamao mo ihaap. Ok rana mga Americans na nangadrop-out kay naa mana clay advisor sa ilang negosyo and they educated famalies. Culture pd nila is open minded. hehe

adik kog DOTA pero naka tiwas man lage ko.. lol, nag dota gihapon ko ron since Euls created the map then reinvented by Guinsoo and improved by Icebfrog, and know with kicka*s graphics by Steam. its not a game sa mga weak og heart og mind. Yes maybe its a childish game for you kay computer-game man.
