    players. It is known to be a significant factor to the gaming industry as variety of gamers play and design
    video games that yield to a professional E-Sports subculture. One of the confirmed E-Sports is the
    famous Mobile Legends developed and designed by a Chinese Company, Shanghai Moonton. With this
    new ace of SEA Games, since the announcement of the renovation of the sports event, it has been one
    of the most talked-about subject and gained a lot of interested individuals, especially the gamers.

    The insertion of E-Sport in SEA Games was urged by Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Singapore based
    gaming firm Razer as he met Alan Peter Cayetano, Philippine SEA Games Organizing committee chair last
    November 2018. A total of six games will be included, consist of two mobile games, two PC games, and

    targeting people who are also gamers are trying to get their brands into esports… There is an
    opportunity now for the intersection of tourism and esports, opening up an avenue for tourism and
    travel companies to participate in esports. More opportunities are emerging as the sector matures,
    especially in terms of generating chances for non-endemic sponsors to cooperate with the games."

    The decision of adding E-Sports in the SEA Games is said to be a groundbreaking milestone, not
    just for the local scene, but for the entire industry. A little development will not hurt and a bounty of
    bravery for taking risks is a must. E-Sports, looking at different perspectives, is assumed to be a success
    and will sure continue to be part of the SEA Games as years go by.
