The tournament is developed by two of the most dominant esports companies in South East Asia - Hong Kong-based, Purpose Win Entertainment Limited (PWEL) and Fallout Gaming (FG), the leading South East Asian and Malaysian premium esports company. Both companies share a vision to start building more platforms that will find the next generation of competitive esports athletes.

The South East Asian market for esports is growing at an exponential rate that PWEL’s Project Director, Sky Lim, believes that esports is no longer a niche and is prime and ready for the mainstream.

“The market for South East Asian eSports has been growing rapidly, it is the second largest market in the world,” says Sky Lim. “Many players in the region are qualified to compete with the rest of the world. So we are looking forward to creating a ‘Shining Star’ South East Asian team that will have the ability to take part at the world stage of any esports tournament.”

The New Blood Championships will be the first in a series of amateur gaming tournaments across South East Asia, specifically targeted at providing exposure to aspiring competitive gamers. Strictly for amateur players, all competitive tier one (1) teams and players are banned from competing at the finals.

The Tournament has three stages - Online Country Qualifiers, On-ground Country Finals and The New Blood Championships Main Event. The open-country qualifiers will be held across five countries - Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. There is also an additional “Rest of S.E.A” online qualifier that will cater to other countries in the region. The top sixteen (16) teams from the qualifiers will proceed to Stage 2, the On-ground Country Finals (with the exception of the “Rest of S.E.A” qualifiers who will proceed directly to the New Blood Championships Main Event).

The On-ground Country Finals will be a LAN event focused in high traffic venues to shed more exposure to the finalist from each participating country. The top team from each on-ground country will qualify for the Main Event.

The New Bloods Championships Main Event will happen in Jakarta, Indonesia and will feature one (1) qualifying team from each country, (1) team “Rest of S.E.A” qualifier, and two (2) remaining teams from GamePlan’s DOTA 2 amateur tournament to be hosted by Genysis Esports.

For the Philippines, High Grounds Café owner, Eric Redulfin says, “It is time to discover new stars and rising talent and with the launch of the New Bloods Championships that opportunity now presents itself. It is a place where new local talents are born and communities can finally get behind their country’s team.”
