The Predator League 2026 Philippines Finals wrapped up with two standout victories: Oasis Gaming dominated the Valorant division, while NAOS Esports emerged as champions in League of Legends, capping off a weekend that showed just how deep the country’s esports talent pool has become.
Valorant in a nutshell
For the uninitiated, Valorant is Riot Games’ fast-growing tactical shooter where teams of five compete to plant or defuse a “spike,” all while leveraging unique character abilities. It’s equal parts precision gunplay, strategy, and split-second teamwork, a formula that has helped the title anchor itself firmly in the competitive scene.
Oasis Gaming: A rising force in PH esports
In the Valorant bracket, Oasis Gaming proved they were the team to beat. Known for their sharp coordination and polished mechanical play, Oasis swept through the competition before sealing the championship in a decisive showdown against Xipto Esports. The roster — featuring standout names such as Tesseract, Markyyy, Slathom999, ZYND, and Zeus — relied on crisp executions and mid-round adaptability to outplay their opponents. For a squad that has steadily built momentum in the regional circuit, the win isn’t just a trophy — it’s a statement that Oasis Gaming is ready to contend at the highest levels.
NAOS Esports: A young organization with veteran discipline
Over in the League of Legends finals, NAOS Esports reaffirmed why they’ve become one of the most recognizable names in the Philippine esports landscape. The team’s disciplined macro play, objective-focused approach, and calm under pressure allowed them to dismantle their opponents on the biggest stage of the tournament. Founded in 2022, NAOS has quickly grown into a breeding ground for Filipino competitive talent. Their win at the Predator League further cements their place as a powerhouse in the local LoL scene.
A boost for the PH esports ecosystem
This year’s Predator League Philippines run didn’t just crown champions — it highlighted how rapidly esports continues to mature in the country. Local organizations are investing more in coaching, analytics, and player development, while fans are turning out in bigger numbers both online and on-site.
With Oasis Gaming and NAOS Esports now heading into the next stage of their competitive journeys, Filipino esports followers have plenty to look forward to. If this year’s tournament is any indication, the Philippines isn’t just participating in global esports — it’s catching up fast.
