G22, the rising P-pop sensation and Acer ambassadors, captivated the audience with their electrifying live performance of the Predator League anthem, “It Lies Within,” for the first time at the Predator League 2025 Philippine Finals held in Cebu. The performance took place on November 10, 2024, at Robinsons Galleria Cebu, where G22 members AJ, Alfea, and Jaz delivered a powerful rendition of the anthem. Originally debuted at the Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals in Manila, “It Lies Within” has since become emblematic of the tournament’s fierce spirit and drive, resonating with esports players across the region. This anthem reflects the unyielding determination and tenacity that esports players bring to each match, and it has even been adapted into multiple languages by participating territories, making it a unifying force within the Asia Pacific esports community.
Princess Laosantos, Acer Philippines’ Senior Marketing Manager, expressed pride in Acer’s role in producing the Predator League anthem. “We are proud that Acer Philippines is the proponent of the Predator League anthem,” she stated. “The song captures the mindset of esports players, especially their relentless pursuit of greatness.” This anthem, underscored by G22’s impassioned performance, encapsulates the heart of the Predator League: a blend of ambition, passion, and resilience that defines the journey of every player and team involved.
The Predator League, launched in 2018, has since become a highly anticipated event in the Asia Pacific esports calendar, drawing thousands of teams annually. This platform allows both seasoned professionals and up-and-coming teams to test their skills in an environment that fosters growth, competition, and camaraderie. Acer Philippines’ Managing Director, Sue Ong-Lim, highlighted the tournament’s role in supporting local esports talent. “We have a lot of talented players waiting to be discovered. As a brand known to support esports from all competitive levels, Predator League has been instrumental in Predator’s growth across the region, especially the Philippines,” she remarked.
Looking ahead, the sixth edition of the Asia Pacific Predator League Grand Finals is set to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in January 2025. This event will gather fifteen of the region’s top Dota 2 and VALORANT teams, each vying for a share of the impressive US$400,000 prize pool and a chance to etch their names into esports history. Among these elite competitors are the Philippines’ very own Execration and Ivory for Dota 2, alongside ZOL Esports and Team Secret for VALORANT.
G22’s upcoming performance of “It Lies Within” at the Asia Pacific Predator League Grand Finals is set to bring added excitement and energy to an already momentous occasion. Their presence, along with the participation of the Filipino teams, reinforces the Philippines’ growing prominence in the esports scene. As the grand finals draw near, fans and competitors alike eagerly anticipate not only the thrilling matches but also G22’s electrifying anthem performance, which promises to celebrate the spirit of esports and inspire the next generation of players across Asia Pacific.
