Coach Ralph 'Leathergoods' Llabres believes Sibol will surpass the Philippines' feat in the previous SEA Games, where it won three of the six esports gold medals up for grabs. 🇵🇭
MANILA, Philippines – The bar has been set high for Sibol as the country eyes another dominant finish in the esports event of the Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam in May.
“From 50 percent last time – I’ll put my name on the line – realistically speaking, I’m expecting a little higher, around 70 percent at least,” Leathergoods said in a press conference on Thursday, March 17.Vietnam organizers retained only Mobile Legends and Arena of Valor from the 2019 esports roster and removed Dota 2, Starcraft II, Hearthstone, and Tekken 7.
“Unfortunately, some of the games are not as big here in the Philippines so our exposure is a little bit low, but we’re still expecting the best from our athletes,” Leathergoods said.Headlining the Filipino delegation – composed of 55 esports athletes and nine coaches – are the multi-titled squad of Blacklist International led by the duo of Johnmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna and Danerie James “Wise” del Rosario.
