The Predator League 2025 Philippine Finals brought the country’s top Dota 2 and Valorant teams to Robinsons Galleria Cebu, showcasing an exciting weekend of esports. Organized by Predator Gaming, the event featured regional champions battling for a share of the P1 million prize pool and a coveted spot in the Asia Pacific Predator League 2025 Grand Finals.
In the Dota 2 finals, Execration faced Ivory in a gripping series. Charles “Lewis” Santos dominated as Execration’s mid-laner, supported by carry player Denz “Denzsanity” Anedez, whose performance averaged 7.5 kills and 10.5 assists per game. Despite Ivory’s spirited effort, Execration’s experience secured their victory and the P250,000 top prize.
On the Valorant side, collegiate squad DLSU Valorant Esports impressed fans by reaching the finals through a direct invite. Competing against pro-heavy ZOL Esports, DLSU showcased determination but fell short in a 2-0 sweep. ZOL Esports’ Patrick “PatMen” Mendoza led his team with consistent plays, turning last year’s defeat into redemption.
The winners — Execration, Ivory, and ZOL Esports — will represent the Philippines in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the Asia Pacific Predator League 2025 Grand Finals, joining Team Secret to compete against top regional teams.
Predator Gaming continues its mission to support local esports, hosting regional qualifiers to highlight emerging talent and give players a platform to develop their skills. The finals underscored the potential of Filipino gamers, with both seasoned teams and fresh faces proving their mettle on the national stage.
