Acer Predator League 2027 Philippine Qualifiers Bring a ₱1 Million Prize Pool to VALORANT and League of Legends

The race to represent the Philippines on the international esports stage is underway as Acer Philippines kicks off the Predator League 2027 Philippine Qualifiers.

Featuring two of the biggest competitive gaming titles, VALORANT and League of Legends, the tournament gives local esports teams a chance to showcase their skills, compete for a share of ₱1 million in prizes, and earn a coveted spot at the Asia Pacific Predator League 2027 Grand Finals in Vietnam.

With ₱500,000 allocated to each game, the competition promises plenty of high stakes action as teams battle their way through the qualifiers, group stages, and playoffs for a shot at the championship.

VALORANT and League of Legends Teams Compete for ₱1 Million

Acer's Predator League continues to provide a competitive platform for aspiring esports professionals and established teams looking to make their mark. This year's Philippine qualifiers feature two distinct challenges: the tactical, team based FPS action of VALORANT and the strategic, objective driven gameplay of League of Legends.

Each title comes with a ₱500,000 prize pool, giving competitors more than bragging rights as they fight for a place among the country's top esports teams.

Registration for both games was scheduled to run until October 15, 2026. The open qualifiers are set for October 17 for VALORANT and October 18 for League of Legends, followed by the group stages and online playoffs in the coming weeks.

The international tournament will bring together top teams from across the Asia Pacific region, giving the Philippine champions an opportunity to test their skills against international competition and carry the country's esports ambitions onto a bigger stage.

For local players, earning that qualification spot could be a defining moment in their competitive journey. Every round, strategic decision, and coordinated team play will count as the road to Vietnam gets closer.
