MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine team took the top prize at the recently held RAN Online Global Tournament, beating Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan.
RAN Online is one of the online games published in the Philippines by IP e-Games.
The Philippine team is composed of Vincent Van Amado, Carlo Angelo Magcalas, Martin Joseph Buday and Kevin Medina. They won US$5,000 (P237,400) in cash prize.
The RAN Global Tournament 2008 was held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. It was the first time the Philippines hosted the said event but it was the second RAN Global Tournament
IP e-Games Vice President for Marketing Ed Pasion said that the team to beat for this year was defending champion Thailand. Surprisingly, Thailand did not make it to the final three.
Pasion noted that the Philippine team lost its first two matches before recovering to get into the finals. He credits the team's consistent practice sessions since Domination in April, e-Games' annual gaming event.
Pasion said they will start the next round of preliminaries in January, leading to the next RAN Online Global Tournament in 2009.
As with their selection system this year, Pasion said the team set up will be chosen through regional eliminations and the top four players will represent the Philippines for the next global tournament.
The Malaysian team won second place and took home US$3,000 (P142,000), while the Hong Kong team won third place and US$2,000 (P95,000).

Ran Global Tournament is one of the biggest on line gaming tournaments where best the best RAN players compete for the top RAN online award. The Philippines has the largest RAN community in the world, no doubt the country has a large number of gamers too.

This year's team was composed of Vincent Van Amado, Carlo Angelo Magcalas, Martin Joseph Buday and Kevin Medina.
