In its effort to connect esports to the wider gaming community, AOC will be organizing a Pan-Asian Internet Café esports tournament, featuring leading internet cafes from all over Asia sending their best players to battle it out.
Qualifiers will be held across the participating regions, including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam. Winners will represent their country at the international grand finals event, the date of which will be announced soon.
