Hoop Battle Championship Philippines Starts
The Vivo Hoop Battle Championship Philippines has officially started its knockout rounds last July 1, 2018!
It was an action-packed first round of eliminations of the Vivo Hoop Battle Championship Philippines.
The 3×3 basketball tournament had its first game in Glorietta where 12 teams played against each other. These were Team Ballers, Metro Star Realty, Pio Makati, Arellano University 1, Mamba Army MNL, Team Downtown, New Born: St. Claire College, Bigshot Burger, Glorietta, Zion, Turbo, and Team 3WC. Team Ballers and Metro Star Realty eventually came out as victors.
The second game was held last July 8 in TriNoma. The teams that played were F4, Alphas, D’Engineers, California Supreme, Fuego Heneral, Bulacan Hoopers, Spartans, Radiant Hoops, Ballerz, Team Mommy Kate, BS Susim Shipping, and Team 3WA. But the rest were outplayed by F4 and the BS Susim Shipping teams.
Amidst these rounds, Vivo gave the passionate spectators to have a chance of what it feels like to be playing the 3×3 Hoop Battle court to the delight of the basketball fans.
A trip to China and cash prizes await to those who will be hailed as the champs of the first-ever Vivo Hoop Battle Championship Philippines
The young global smartphone brand picked three players from the audience to show off their layup, free throw, and 3-point shooting skills. The fastest player to perfectly complete these shots received premium prize from Vivo.
Another 12 teams also faced-off today – July 15 – in South Park for the third leg of the tournament. The last elimination rounds will be on July 22 in Fairview Terraces. All the top two teams per elimination round will advance to the finals to be held on July 29 in Market! Market! Mall.
The best two teams will be sent to Guangzhou, China in August 2018 and play against other groups in Asia to claim the Hoop Battle Champion title. Aside from a trip to China for a chance to play at an international basketball game, the two winning teams will get P 200,000 or P 100,000.
Vivo generously keep basketball fans on their toes by letting them play on the 3×3 court.
