When game leader Blizzard puts together a show, it’s a spectacle to behold. The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2008, held in Paris last weekend, was one awesome event!
That’s where they announced Diablo 3, my bosses, Ben “Gameboss” Colayco, Level Up international COO and Phil Cahiwat, Level Up international content director were there to witness everything. Wish I was with them. Anyways, it was a grand Blizzard party filled with talks, game demos, tournaments, cosplay and shops.
As Deckard would say… “Stay a while and listen”Â

The drums of war beat wildly into the night. The dark skies light up as armies raise their weapons and shout their battle cries. In this time of conflict, despair, and trial – legends will be made, immortals will rise, and heroes will be born. Historians will write about their deeds and bards will sing of their glory.Â
From the Asgardian realm of Midgard, the war-torn continent of Pangu, the harsh deserts of Novus, the hard courts of Freestyle, and the vast islands of Roika…Â
… hails a new breed of heroes.
They’re coming.

Last Saturday, May 31, I was at the Robinson’s Galleria together with GM Chastity, GM Cassiel and the rest of the RO team for an exhibition match between 2008 RPC defending champions, Bozanian Beastfighter and Telios.
This is a grudge match and both were willing to set the record straight. Matira ang matibay, ika nga!
The Robinson’s event also featured raffles, a headgear contest, a cosplay presentation by the Frost Jokers led of course by RO vet and idol Master Diwa.
I had the honor of being asked to assist in commentating for the game proper between Boza and Telios. It was basically a race to 3 (or best of five). More on the match and a photo essay after the jump

This is one of our biggest announcements this year.
The 2008 Ragnarok World Championships will be hosted by us. Here. In the Philippines!
Yep. It’s official. RWC 2008 will happen at the LIVE main event on October 18 and 19.
11 Ragnarok countries will vie for the world title. Note that last year, our boys came in third with Thailand claiming the championship crown. This year, we’re playing on home ground so we should have the home-court advantage, so to speak.
Everyone here at Level Up is excited and the rush to prepare for our BIGGEST event yet goes into full gear.

With the success of RF’s latest patch, Crimson Dawn, the RF Marketing team and the GMs are continuing their invasion of the local MMO industry with the recent launch of the new and improved Guild Top Up Promo!
How does it work? It’s quite simple, when you top-up for RF, you can tag it to your server, race and guild. The guilds with the most top-ups will win in-game items to help them in their PVP battles at the Chip War or the ongoing NCAS (online component of the) Novus Elite Squad Tournament (NEST) 2008.
There are cool and great items to be won, like BD Keys, Talics, Gems and Ore. Plus, the guild with the most top-ups can win bonus prizes. So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to the official site of the new RF Online Guild Top Up Promo.

A couple of days ago, we unvieled the official teaser page of LIVE 2008. We’ve managed to embed a playlist with new videos culled from the GM T/Level Up Youtube Channel. Thanks to the efforts of our Creative team, Project Manager Alex M and webdev! Sweet!
This marks the beggining of yet another great tournament season for LIVE. I am still the overall tournament director and, together with the team, am very excited about the line up of tourneys and events for LIVE 2008.
Level Up! has always been, and always will be, about online games, tournaments, and you, the gamer!
And this year, you’ll experience a different Level Up! Live! Read the rest of this entry »

I’m currently heading early preparations for LIVE 2008. And yes, the Philippines’ BIGGEST and BEST online gaming event will be even bigger (and badder) this year.
Currently, the various head judges for the 5 tournaments for Ragnarok, Perfect World, RF Online, FlyFF and Freestyle are finalizing the new tournament rules and mechanics. We’re also busy laying out the foundations for the theme of this year’s Live. I can’t share it with you right now but I promise that you’ll hear it from me very soon.
