The HighStreet 5 Baguio Experience
Last August 30, the HighStreet 5 team went up the highlands to meet the gamers of Baguio City. The chill of Baguio's air was a stark contrast to the warmth the Baguio players extended to the HighStreet 5 team (shout out to Kitsune!). HighStreet 5 players from all over Baguio came to meet their fellow players and participate in the activities.
Non-HighStreet 5 players were given the opportunity to try out the game for free, while HighStreet 5 players were given a free merienda pack and HighStreet 5 merchandise. There were also 12 lucky raffle winners who won for themselves a 3-month subscription to Playground magazine.
The main highlight of the event was the HighStreet 5 tournament. After a gruelling 4-hour match between 8 teams, Team [ Taglish ], composed of Alvin (Aedc), Felix (FLex) & Erienne (AeRis3) ended the day with them emerging as victors
Aside from the HighStreet 5 tournament, There was also a character look-alike contest which had Louis (†Luna†) and Ryan (RyanG) as participants. They won for themselves a 30-day Eminem Reggae suit each.
There was also a Guild Recruitment Drive during the whole duration of the activity. There were a lot of guilds who went, but it was ARG who received the title of "most guild members present" during the countdown.
