Filipino tabletop gaming is a craft that thrives on strategy, creativity, and community. Evolving beyond its roles as a premier gadget destination, Cyberzone has become a vital cultural hub where this dedicated community can find the stage and resources needed to push their gameplay and imagination to new heights.
From Side Event to Center Stage
In previous years, tabletop gaming was often a featured side component of the Cyberzone Challenger Series and Cyberzone Geek Con DX. This 2026, the format has been elevated To The Max into its own dedicated tournament series, reaffirming Cyberzone’s mission in enabling gaming passions.
“This is a deliberate move to spotlight the tabletop pioneers whose community-building and tactical energy have long been a fundamental part of our gaming culture. We are creating an all-outexperience that celebrates their craft through the unique tech and gaming moments only Cyberzone and SM Supermalls can deliver,” says Patrick Pacla, vice president for Cyberzone operations and marketing at SM Supermalls.
Elevating the Stakes: 40k Prize Pool Awaits
To honor the skill and precision of these players, Cyberzone is raising the stakes for the series’ culmination. A PHP20, 000 prize pool is up for grabs for each tournament, with both Magic: The Gathering and Beyblade X champions set to be crowned during this final leg.
The experience remains inclusive for all, as beginners can drop by the Neutral Grounds booth for “Learn to Play” demos and expert tips to sharpen their skills.
