Swarmio Media (CSE: SWRM) this morning announced that it will be building on the success of a recent collaboration with Globe Telecom and Tencent Games. The trio this morning revealed that they are in the process of conducting two exclusive gaming tournaments in the Philippines.
The two gaming tournaments are focused on PUBG Mobile, one of the most popular games in the country with over a million active users per month. The first tournament, referred to as the Philippine City Tournament, began just days ago. The tournament series has historically seen much success when conducted by Tencent and its subsidiary Level Infinite.
A total of 169 teams have reportedly signed up for the event, which is occurring on the Globe Gamer Grounds platform, which is built upon Swarmio’s Ember gaming and esports platform. The tournament is being livestreamed, with prizes of up to PHP 5,000 awarded to players.
The second tournament, the Gamer Grounds Championship, meanwhile is to be focused on three game titles. Prizes under this tournament are set to amount to PHP 1.5 million, with the event focused on promoting the Globe Gamer Grounds platform within the Philippines.

“The launch of the PUBG MOBILE Philippine City Tournament and the Gamer Grounds Championship in the Globe Gamer Grounds platform is an exciting follow-up from the great success of our previous collaboration with PUBG MOBILE, which saw an influx of new subscribers to the Globe Gamer Grounds platform,” said CEO Vijai Karthigesu.
The two events being conducted on the Globe platform follows an event held last month that was deemed a success by the company. That event was focused on driving subscriber growth for Globe.
