MANILA, Philippines — A new chapter begins in Philippine esports as League of Legends makes its debut in the upcoming Predator League 2026 Philippine Qualifiers, joining Dota 2 and Valorant in the battle for the Predator Shield and a share of the massive P1.2-million prize pool.
The inclusion of League of Legends marks a significant expansion for Predator League, opening the doors to a broader community of players and fans. The qualifiers officially began last September 19, with both online and onsite matches giving veterans and aspiring esports athletes a chance to prove themselves on the national stage.
“We’re excited to kick off the Predator League 2026 PH Qualifiers. Acer has always supported the growth of esports talent in the Philippines, and the Predator League has served as its proving ground,” said Sue Ong-Lim, Managing Director of Acer Philippines.
Dota 2 and Valorant champions will each take home P200,000, with runners-up earning P120,000. Third- and fourth-place teams will receive P50,000, while fifth- and sixth-place finishers will get P20,000.
For the League of Legends event, the top team will win P100,000, with the runner-up receiving P50,000. Third- and fourth-place teams will earn P15,000, while fifth- and sixth-place finishers will take home P5,000.
