After taking Metro Manila by storm last 2016, Predator Gaming has now set its eyes on the Visayas region as it launches in Cebu. Joining in on the celebrations for the Sinulog Festival, one of the region’s most famous weekends, the powerful gaming brand hosted an afternoon of rock and roll to mark the start of what’s sure to be a great relationship with the Cebu gaming community.

The frost-forged aesthetic and vibe was palpable in SM Seaside Cebu as the venue was transformed into an ice dungeon decked with moss-covered rocks, large boulders, and ice plinths housing Predator Gaming products available for guests to try. Hosted by Eric “Eruption” Tai and complemented by an outfit of warriors, the program saw the exciting launch of Predator Gaming and the charged performances of Slapshock.

“The Predator Gaming brand, which we are positive the Cebu gaming community will soon see, is one that is as energetic as it is powerful,” shares Dio Vasquez, Director for Product Management for Predator Gaming Philippines. “As we launch at the height of the Sinulog Festival, we are hopeful that we are able to share in and enrich the festivities this year and for the many years to come.”

The Predator Gaming line is designed for heavy and dedicated gamers looking for substance and style in their machineries. Launched only in 2016 in Metro Manila, the aggressive and powerful brand has gained a strong and steady following because of its best-in-class and intuitive features.

At the event, guests were treated to a preview of Predator 15 and Predator 17x, which are perfect for enthusiastic gamers who are after speed and practicality. The Triton 700 and Helios 300, designed to deliver not only impeccable physical design but also super system performance, were also present at the event. Completing the display were other Predator Gaming products and accessories, namely the Predator G1-710 fashioned for gaming enthusiasts who enjoy LAN parties; the Predator X34 Monitor, which is the world’s first curved gaming monitor; and the Predator Cestus 500 Gaming Mouse, which boasts of an ambidextrous ergonomic design and five customizable profiles.

Predator Gaming products are available in the Acer Concept Store, Thinking Tools, Across, and Asianic in SM Cebu. Interested customers may also find their gaming devices in Octagon in SM Cebu and Ayala Cebu, in JOYO at Emall Cebu, and the Gaisano Interface at Off Mall.
