FPS Apex
Plus Attack featured three main titles, as well as a side title in the form of Project Xandata. A PUBG showmatch was supposed to be played, but was cancelled due to unforeseen technical issues. In addition, a quick 1v1 tournament was also held, where players showed their CS:GO aiming skills.
Project Xandata attracted everyone’s attention during the tournament with their exhibition and community showmatches on stage as well as their raffles and free play sessions at the off-stage playing site.
Plus Attack is WASD Philippines’ biggest attempt to create a FPS event so far, after holding two editions of the Tarlac Esports League (TESL) back in April 2017 and 2018.
