TNC.com owner Eric Redulfin said High Grounds Café breaks the barriers in what used to be Internet-surfing-only cyber cafes. “The environment now is totally different in terms of cyber cafés. What used to be just for Internet surfing and browsing metamorphosed into complete full-fledged gaming centers. Of course the Internet is still there but gaming now takes the spotlight and the attention of game-loving and esports aficionados in the country.”
High Grounds Café is the best battleground that can accommodate hundreds of players at any given time. Offers the best gaming experience as they carry best gaming desktops courtesy of Predator - Predator G1 and Predator G3.
To give you a brief of what these predators can do. Predator G1 is powered by Intel 6th Gen 6700 Processor with 32GB DDR4 RAM and 3TB HDD / 256GB SSD accompanied with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 with 8GB GDDR5 Graphics. Predator G3, on the other hand carries the same processor but carries only 16GB DDR4 RAM, 2TB HDD / 128GB SSD Storage while utilizing NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 at 3GB GDDR5 Graphics. These killer internal specifications guarantees you silky smooth game play for any gaming titles you choose to conquer.
To level up the gaming experience, visuals will be on a 24-inch Full HD Predator XB241H monitor with NVIDIA G Sync tech with its no-tear and less-stutter performance.
Gamers can also enjoy snacks and eat their meal during their break or celebrate after a triumphant win over their competition.
Redulfin bared that High Grounds Café will also be the perfect breeding ground of future Filipino esports stars who can give esports players from other countries a run for their money. “The Philippines is a young entrant in the global esports arena. Compared to other gaming countries, I could say we’re behind but that was 2-5 years ago. Now, even if we started competing only last year in tournaments abroad, we gained much attention already with the recent triumph of the TNC Pro Team during WESG,” he said.
The TNC Pro Team composed of members Marco Polo “Raven” Fausto, Carlo “Kuku” Palad, Samson Solomon “Sam_H” Hidalgo, Timothy “Tims” Randrup, and Ryo “ryOyr” Hasegawa, made history by becoming the first Filipino grand champions at the World Electronic Sports Games (WESG) 2016 Defense of the Ancients (DotA) 2 competition taking home a whopping prize of US$800,000 (roughly Php40 million) after defeating the Cloud9 team from Denmark in the finals match.
Redulfin and team manager Paulo Sy both admitted it’s tough to maintain a competitive team that should be well trained and funded. But with the arrival of the Predator desktops at High Grounds, they know that more and more esports “athletes” or gamers will have full access to powerful PCs that can deliver the best for leisure or competitive gaming.
“We are glad that TNC decided to use Predator desktops as their only gaming rigs at High Grounds Café. It just goes to show that Predator remains to be the only preferred gaming PCs by serious esports competitors who only want the best with the most premium components found inside, those that won’t conk out in the heat of the game any time of the day. Esports is serious stuff and is ultra-competitive that needs only the best PC for gameplay, and Predator is definitely it, without question,” explains Clark Gurden, Predator Brand Ambassador, Predator Headquarters.
For his part, Jerome Matti, NVIDIA Consumer Sales Lead, Philippines, said: “We build the ultimate platform for gamers. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and 1060 GPUs are based on our most advanced Pascal architecture that delivers amazing speed and power efficiency, plus innovative new gaming technologies. And our advanced G-SYNC monitors are designed to give gamers incredibly smooth, tear-free gameplay. Together, they redefine what makes a perfect platform for the new generation of content. And with Acer’s exquisite craftsmanship, we are able to bring the world’s most advanced platform to the Philippines’ biggest iCafe, High Grounds powered by TNC. We are thrilled to see more and more GeForce PC gamers in the Philippines!”
