“Gaming is more than entertainment — it’s a movement that connects communities and cultures, while fueling creativity and friendly competition,” said Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific. “Last year, we introduced our electrifying theme song, ‘It Lies Within,’ alongside the launch of a new animated series featuring our fearless Predator heroes, Yuffy and Nero.”

Hou added: “We’re excited to follow the journey of the esports teams that have earned their spot through the qualifying rounds, this time showcasing their skills at the major stage in India. The Asia Pacific Predator League has been a cornerstone of Acer’s commitment to the gaming community, and each edition continues to raise the bar in both competition and camaraderie.”
