MANILA — ESports National Association of the Philippines president Joebert Yu clarified a report about the eSports titles that will be played in the inaugural staging of the said event in the Southeast Asian Games next year.
In a statement posted on his Facebook account on Thursday, Yu said, “The news that came out… regarding the eSport titles for the SEA Games 2019 is ‘outdated’. So, if that is your source, then your news is ‘outdated’ as well.”
It was reported that NBA 2K, Tekken 7, Hearthstone, and DOTA 2 are the games that will be played in the SEA Games eSports event with separate tournaments for Hearthstone and DOTA 2 to be played by both genders.
According to Yu, however, these are not yet final.
“There will be an official statement regarding the official titles within a day or two. So please stay tuned and wait for it,” he added.
