MANILA, Philippines – Leading digital services providers PLDT Home and Smart Communications are set to take gaming to another level with this year’s E-Sports and Gaming Summit (ESGS), the country’s biggest eSports and gaming convention in the country.
Happening at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay from Oct. 24 to 25, the ESGS features eSports competitions and the next wave of products and offers by PLDT Home and Smart for gaming fanatics and enthusiasts, housed at the PLDT Home–Smart Game Hub.
The special hub features hit PC games such as League of Legends, major Steam titles Counter Strike and Left 4 Dead 2, and the highly-engaging Halo 2 Spartan Strike FPS. The hub also features top console games NBA 2K16 for PlayStation 4, and top mobile games Clash of Clans and Hearthstone, among many others.
New Star Wars and Marvel characters

All gamers can also look forward to exciting announcements that include the latest Assassin’s Creed game in the franchise – Assassin’s Creed Syndicate – and the fun-tastic dancing game, Just Dance 2016, which are both ready for demos at French video game developer Ubisoft’s booth.
