Experiential Tech Meets Esports Energy
The Campus Playfest 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall was more than just another esports event. It was a showcase of how technology, community, and creativity collide to create something bigger than the sum of its parts.

Fans flocked to the realme booth where creators Sharlene San Pedro and Doc Z joined the Squad for interactive matches and raffles. Prizes included the realme Buds T310 and the realme C85 5G smartphone, both designed to highlight how realme’s ecosystem integrates lifestyle and performance.
I’ve always said the best tech activations are the ones that feel like playgrounds. For readers, this means realme is proving that esports events can double as tech showcases. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Gaming expos are just about the games.”

Smartphones as Gaming Gear: The realme 15 Pro 5G
The realme Squad Match was powered by the realme 15 Pro 5G, a device that’s clearly built with gamers in mind. Doc Z swept the rounds with a 2-0 victory, showing off how responsive the phone can be in competitive play.

The 15 Pro 5G isn’t just another mid-range phone—it’s a gaming companion. With optimized performance, smooth frame rates, and reliable connectivity, it demonstrates how smartphones are now legitimate esports gear.
I’ve always argued that the line between gaming phones and mainstream devices is blurring. For readers, this means the phone in your pocket might already be tournament-ready. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “You need a PC to play seriously.”

Crowning New Ambassadors: Community Meets Technology
The event also marked the finale of realme’s ambassador search. Eli Ruivivar and Dale Bascara were introduced as the new faces of the brand, each receiving ₱50,000 cash and a one-year contract.
This isn’t just about marketing—it’s about building a community. By elevating ambassadors from within the Squad, realme is showing that technology brands can thrive by empowering their users.
I’ve always said ambassadors should feel like peers, not celebrities. For readers, this means realme is creating a brand identity rooted in authenticity. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Tech ambassadors are just influencers.” realme Campus Playfest 2025: Tech, Talent, and Triumphs
Live Performances: Music Meets Esports
Campus Playfest wasn’t just about gaming. Performances from Ena Mori, One Click Straight, and Letters from June added a cultural layer to the event. The finale was a mix of music and esports energy, proving that these worlds can coexist seamlessly.
I’ve always argued that tech events should feel like festivals. For readers, this means esports is evolving into a lifestyle experience. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Gaming events are niche.”
PCC National League Grand Finals: NU Bulldogs Dominate
The highlight of the night was the PCC National League Grand Finals. The NU Bulldogs—Herrero, Paculan, Bangsal, Blas, Estacio, and Alvarado—dominated DXRV Esports with a 3-1 finish.
Using the realme 15 Pro 5G as their gaming phone, the Bulldogs showcased how mobile devices can deliver championship-level performance. They took home ₱100,000 as champions of Season 3, while Estacio earned the Finals MVP title and a realme 15T 5G for his standout gameplay.
I’ve always said esports is the ultimate stress test for devices. For readers, this means the realme 15 Pro 5G isn’t just marketing hype—it’s battle-tested. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Mobile Legends is just casual gaming.”
Looking Ahead: Regional Wars and Mobile Legends Cup
realme isn’t stopping here. Fans can look forward to the next season of the realme Regional Wars and the realme Mobile Legends Cup. These tournaments continue to expand the local esports ecosystem, giving more players opportunities to showcase their skills.
I’ve always argued that consistency builds credibility. For readers, this means realme is proving its commitment to esports isn’t a one-off stunt. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Brands only show up once.”

Discover the Power of the realme C85 Series 5G
Beyond esports, realme is also pushing its latest consumer device: the realme C85 5G. Available in Kingfisher Blue and Swan Black, the C85 is designed for gaming, streaming, and everyday use.
For a limited time, buyers receive a complimentary TechLife 20W Power Bank 5000mAh worth ₱1,199, valid until December 14, 2025. Every purchase also earns a raffle entry into realme’s holiday promo, with prizes including the realme GT 7T (12GB+256GB), realme Pad X Wi-Fi, TechLife Smart Watch P1, and even a grand prize trip for two to Thailand or Vietnam.
I’ve always said mid-range devices should feel aspirational. For readers, this means the C85 offers style, performance, and perks that make it more than just a phone. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Affordable phones are boring.”
My Take: Why Campus Playfest Matters
The Campus Playfest stands out because it blends technology, community, and culture. It’s not just about competition—it’s about how devices like the realme 15 Pro 5G and C85 integrate into everyday life.
What I like most is the holistic approach. Gaming phones tested in tournaments. Ambassadors elevated from the community. Music performances that make the event feel like a festival. And promos that tie consumer devices back to the excitement.
For readers, the benefit is clear: realme is proving that technology isn’t just about specs—it’s about experiences that empower, entertain, and connect. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Esports events don’t matter outside the arena.”
Technology That Serves Play and Lifestyle
At its core, Campus Playfest 2025 is about technology serving both play and lifestyle. It’s about smartphones that double as gaming gear, communities that grow into ambassadors, and devices that deliver value beyond the screen.
