DITO and Team Liquid Boost Filipino Esports Globally

GALING DITO Meets Global Esports Powerhouse
DITO Telecommunity’s “GALING DITO” platform celebrates Filipino grit and creativity. Now, it joins forces with Team Liquid Philippines, one of the world’s most respected esports organizations. This partnership isn’t a simple sponsorship. It’s a shared mission to elevate homegrown talent onto the international stage. DITO’s backing provides resources and network strength. Team Liquid brings global expertise and infrastructure. Together, they embody Filipino pride—talent that starts here and competes everywhere.

A New Era for Filipino Esports
On June 1, Team Liquid PH stunned the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang community. They faced defending world champions Onic Philippines in a grueling seven-game MPL Season 15 Grand Finals. They emerged victorious, marking a watershed moment for collegiate and pro-level esports in the Philippines. Armed with DITO’s support, the team now sets its sights on the Esports World Cup in Riyadh this July–August. The collaboration signals a new era: Filipino esports, backed by local infrastructure, powered by global competition.

DITO’s #1 Rated Mobile Network Advantage
Success at top levels demands flawless connectivity. DITO Telecommunity, awarded the #1 Rated Mobile Network by Ookla, offers the perfect wingman. Its cutting-edge 5G Standalone (SA) network delivers ultra-fast speeds and near-zero latency. Whether streaming scrims at home or competing on global servers, Team Liquid PH can rely on consistent performance. No more dropped packets. No more lag spikes. It’s a technology foundation designed to support the split-second decisions that define esports excellence.

Stories Behind the Wins
Esports victories aren’t just scorelines. They’re stories of early mornings, late-night strategies, and unyielding dedication. DITO’s partnership amplifies these narratives. They document each team’s journey—training regimens, behind-the-scenes camaraderie, and personal triumphs. Fans get exclusive access to practice sessions, strategy breakdowns, and player diaries. This humanizes the athletes, turning pro players like KarlTzy, Sanford, Sanji, Oheb, and Jaypee into national icons. Through compelling storytelling, DITO and Team Liquid shine a spotlight on the effort behind every clutch play.

Core Roster: Heroes of Filipino MLBB
Under DITO’s banner, Team Liquid’s core roster takes center stage:
• Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno – The sharpshooter with uncanny accuracy.
• San “Sanford” Francisco – The veteran carry master.
• Sanji “Sanji” Lamigo – The strategic support architect.
• Oliver “Oheb” Ferdinand – The elusive assassin savant.
• Jaypee “Jaypee” Cruz – The steadfast tank and team anchor.
Each player carries the weight of national expectation. With DITO’s network behind them, they train harder and compete fiercer.

Women’s Team and MDL Squad: Rising Stars

Team Liquid’s commitment extends beyond its flagship squad. The Women’s Team, fresh from a strong showing in the Athena League, now gains DITO’s technical backing. And the MDL (development league) squad rounds out the ecosystem, cultivating the next wave of pros. Training facilities equipped with high-speed connectivity and performance analytics give these emerging players a proving ground. DITO’s mentorship programs and youth-focused workshops ensure they receive both technical support and mental conditioning required for high-level play.

Shared Values: Creativity, Inclusivity, Excellence
“Galing Dito” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a mindset. It means Filipino talent, uncompromised and unrestrained. Team Liquid’s global philosophy echoes this: “cool comes from creativity” and “being different is a strength.” Together, both organizations champion individuality, inclusivity, and passion. They foster a community where aspiring gamers can grow, regardless of background. The partnership underlines mutual respect for diversity—celebrating unique playstyles while building cohesive team dynamics.

Road to Esports World Cup: Training for Gold
The Esports World Cup in Riyadh is the next proving ground. Team Liquid PH embarks on intensive boot camps powered by DITO’s low-latency infrastructure. Daily drills run on private servers to simulate World Cup conditions. Coaches analyze gameplay with real-time feedback loops. Nutritionists craft diet plans. Sports psychologists develop mental resilience modules. Everything converges on one goal: podium finishes at the world’s largest multi-title esports festival.

Fan Engagement: Bringing Galing to the Masses
Esports thrives on fan energy. DITO and Team Liquid roll out interactive fan zones, both online and offline. Virtual meet-and-greets, live Q&A sessions, and co-streamed practice matches engage supporters. Street activations in Manila’s gaming districts let fans try DITO-powered esports stations, compete in mini-tournaments, and win merchandise signifying Philippine pride. This grassroots approach turns casual viewers into die-hard fans, fueling the ecosystem and building momentum for the team’s global journey.

Empowering the Next Generation
At its heart, DITO’s involvement goes beyond high-stakes tournaments. It’s about cultivating national talent pipelines. School outreach programs introduce esports fundamentals in classrooms. Scholarships reward top-performing student gamers. Local community centers receive DITO-funded gaming rigs for free training. Seasoned pros from Team Liquid mentor kids in specialized “Esports 101” workshops. The aim: produce not only championship rosters but also industry-ready professionals in coaching, shoutcasting, and content creation.

A Partnership for the Future
DITO Telecommunity and Team Liquid Philippines stand at the frontier of Filipino esports. Their alliance serves as a blueprint for how robust local infrastructure and global expertise can uplift homegrown talent. As the team prepares to carry the Philippine flag in Riyadh—and beyond—fans can take pride in knowing that “Galing Dito” isn’t just hype. It’s a testament to Filipino excellence in the digital arena.
