The Creator Cup is the first of a series of tournaments hosted by the new TikTok Gaming Ground PH

TikTok inks a year-long partnership with Forest Interactive Gaming Habitat Team (FIGHT Esports), a global esports organizer, to make online gaming more socially accessible than ever.

The partnership kicks off with the inaugural #TikTokGGPH Creator Cup Tournament jointly hosted by TikTok Philippines and FIGHT Esports. The Creator Cup, which will be set within Valorant, is taking place on February 27 and 28, from 3 pm to 9 pm (GMT+8), and the entire event will be live-streamed on TikTok Gaming Ground PH (TikTok GGPH) account via @tiktokggphofficial. To raise the stakes, TikTok Philippines is offering a $1,000 prize pool to be awarded to the champion, 1st runner up, and 2nd runner up of the tournament.

“TikTok continues to pursue opportunities to inspire creativity and bring joy to all Filipinos. With gaming actively becoming a positive source for community building and enjoyment, we are happy to be doing our part in providing the growing gaming community with a platform for education, positive connections and interaction,” said John Castro, TikTok’s Gaming Operations Manager for the Philippines.

“TikTok is fast becoming a place where people create, share, and enjoy a new type of experience. It really makes a lot of sense for us to leverage TikTok to reach the gaming community and give them the opportunity to connect and share their passion with fellow gamers around the world. This will create a unique and innovative esports experience where they can follow and engage with their favorite gaming content creators, tune in to esports tournament livestreams, as well as celebrate esports in ways that have never been done before,” noted Chantal-Denise Ortega, FIGHT’s Project Manager.

Prior to the tournament, a video campaign was held within the TikTok app, as part of the official #TikTokGGPH launch. From February 12 to 28, creators on the platform can upload a video that perfectly captures their gaming style, and shows the community exactly what it’s like to be a gamer. To qualify, creators must use the hashtag #TikTokGGPH when they post their video entries. At the end of the campaign period, 20 creators will be selected to become part of TikTok’s community of gamers, based on the level of passion for gaming, and creative potential seen in their videos.

Spintec has successfully participated at this year’s G2E Asia. This year, Spintec’s focus was on innovation tailored for the Asian market. Their super popular Baccarat game was introduced with no less than eight side bets this year. The existing Lucky 6 was accompanied by Big and Small Lucky 6, Lucky 7, Big and Small Lucky 7, and Super Lucky 7. Their solution also features the latest side bets, recently approved in Macau: Pairs+, Monkey/No monkey, and 4/5/6 cards.

They also showed their flagship game Galactic Spin, which has received an extremely interesting upgrade this year. Spintec introduced a release which integrates no less than three roulette games: a classic version, a version with multipliers and Galactic Spin with free spins. All three are available to the player to choose from, but the choice is rarely simple as they are all extremely immersive and fun.

To support this dynamic playing environment, Spintec also premiered their MultiView game platform. It allows players to seamlessly display and participate in up to four different games simultaneously on a single screen, with the option to expand any game to full screen directly from the split view. Dipping in and out of different games has never been so simple and intuitive. A built-in lobby allows players to browse and filter available games by type and choose the one they like best. The MultiView platform currently supports roulette and baccarat, with other games coming soon. As a special mode of operation, the platform also features a fast-switching game functionality, specifically developed for multi-table baccarat.

Eye shaped roulette and dice had a debut in Asia at G2E and garnered a lot of attention. It accommodates up to 12 players engaging in three different games simultaneously: roulette, Sic Bo and craps. It delivers an exceptionally rich gameplay through a wide range of betting options. In this special edition it also featured Spintec’s flagship game Galactic Spin and Dragons Jackpot, the amazing three-level progressive jackpot.

The visitors at G2E Asia also had an opportunity to experience first-hand what Spintec’s dedicated tournament experience can do. Its player-focused design serves a single purpose: to keep players engaged for longer while sustaining the excitement and competitive spirit that tournaments are known for. It features a LED wall showcasing dynamic content for both players and spectators, presenting live information across individual roulette and baccarat games while supporting live, automated and virtual formats. Game graphics are tailored specially for LED walls, including a reimagined implementation for baccarat. The entire setup was extremely well received at the G2E, as these types of gaming experiences are becoming more and more popular across the globe.
