MANILA (January 12, 2024) The Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals kicked off with
an electrifying display of skill and high-octane matches throughout the Group Stages. The
Filipino teams have emerged as formidable contenders as the Group Stages reached its
conclusion. This premier esports tournament pits 26 VALORANT and Dota 2 teams from the
region as they vie for the coveted Predator Shield and the lion’s share of the $200,000 prize
pool.
In Dota 2, Filipino powerhouses Blacklist Rivalry and Execration have successfully advanced to
the semi-finals, solidifying their positions among the elite.

Blacklist Rivalry, led by world-renowned midlane Abed Yusop, lived up to high expectations,
dominating Group A with an impressive 4-0 record. The methodical gameplay was on full display
as they systematically dismantled opponents, averaging only 30 minutes per match. Not merely
a one-man show, offlaner Kim ‘Gabbi’ Santos similarly demonstrated exceptional form,
accumulating 59 assists across their matches.
Execration, despite sharing a group with the dominant Blacklist Rivalry, also secured a spot in
the semi-finals. The squad dropped only a single game, facing defeat against the stars of
Blacklist Rivalry. Execration secured victories against Malaysian team Mythic Avenue Gaming,
fellow Filipino squad ZOL Esports, and India-based Whoops, with Mark ‘Bob’ Urbino leading the
charge with an impressive 11 KDA ratio.
On the other side of the bracket, Team Aster from China topped Group B behind Gu ‘Han’
Jiahan’s performance in the midlane. The Chinese team lost only one match in the Group Stages
against fellow semi-finalist IHC Esports. The Mongolians continue to show their constantly
improving quality in Dota 2, as they continue to have magical moments in LAN events
throughout the year.

In VALORANT, Philippine juggernaut Team Secret emerged unscathed in Group D, delivering
dominant performances against Malaysian side TODAK and Singapore’s Ender Dragon.
Unfortunately, other Filipino squads Oasis Gaming and ZOL Esports, couldn’t progress beyond
their respective groups.

Team Secret will face off against Team Flash from Vietnam, Japan’s FAV Gaming, and BOOM
Esports from Indonesia. FAV Gaming and BOOM Esports were undefeated in Group A and Group
C, respectively.

With two more action-packed days of high-level competition coming this weekend, it will be
another Thrilla in Manila at the SM MOA Arena on January 13 and 14, 2024.

BOTTEGA VENETA LAUNCHES 2024 LUNAR NEW YEAR CAMPAIGN THE FIRST SUNRISE WITH YOUBOTTEGA VENETA LAUNCHES 2024 LUNAR NEW YEAR CAMPAIGN

Published

on

By

Bottega Veneta launches its Lunar New Year campaign, starring actress Shu Qi. Directed by Jess Jing
Zou, The First Sunrise with You celebrates the first sunrise of the year, showing different characters
welcoming the dawn in a variety of panoramic settings.
Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the film is Bottega Veneta’s fourth collaboration with Jess
Jing Zou. The director was also behind the brand’s Lunar New Year campaign in 2023, Reunion in Motion,
and two Qixi films, Love in Motion and Towards You. With photography by Ken Ngan and a bespoke track
from Sega Bodega, The First Sunrise with You carries forward similar themes of travel and togetherness
while centering on the singular moment of the new year’s dawn.
Shu Qi, who joined Bottega Veneta as a brand ambassador last October, opens the film, stepping out
onto a balcony to admire the sunrise over the Shanghai skyline. A sequence of different groups and
diverse settings follow, showing friends, family members, and romantic partners coming together to
admire the dawn and anticipate the year ahead.
We see one group of friends gathering on a beach, and another riding scooters along a mountain road. A
couple admires the sunrise reflecting off snow-covered mountains while a mother-daughter duo—model
Chen Estelle and her own mother—walks along the riverside by the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai.
With its scenes of reunion and range of landscapes and cityscapes, The First Sunrise with You
foregrounds not only the transition from one year to the next and the emotion of new beginnings but
also the journeys we make to spend precious moments with places and people we hold dear.
As characters stroll the waterfront, walk along the shoreline, scooter beneath windmills, climb down rocks
to the beach, and drive along mountain roads, the film captures Bottega Veneta in motion, with a
spotlight on exclusive designs for the Chinese New Year capsule collection. The collection is themed
around the Year of the Dragon, with highlights including Andiamo, Sardine, Orbit sneakers, and a
bespoke Jodie with a dragon-tail handle.
In the Philippines, Bottega Veneta is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4 and
Shangri-La Plaza Mall East Wing. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph or follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
