MANILA, Philippines — The AMAESports 2023 National Playoffs, which turned virtual achievements into actual victories last Saturday, served as a magnificent example of the transforming potential of esports.

From the event's magnificent debut through the thrilling national finals last July 22, it was a vivacious display of senior high and college students' esports prowess.
