Set to take place on March 7 to 8 at the PNB Financial Center in Pasay City, the first major season of 2026 marks an exciting milestone in the evolution of professional Tongits tournaments in the Philippines.
From Tongits Champion Cup to GameZone Tour
The GameZone Tour traces its roots to a successful debut in 2024 under the name Tongits Champion Cup (TCC). Following its strong reception from players and fans alike, the competition evolved into the GameZone Tablegame Champions Cup (GTCC). Two high-energy editions—Summer Showdown and September Arena—raised the bar for competitive Tongits, showcasing advanced strategies, precision gameplay, and elite-level mastery from the country’s best card game tacticians.
Now in 2026, the competition enters a bold new chapter with the launch of the Tongits Plus Champions Cup (TPCC)—the first of four major GameZone Tour seasons this year.
36 of the Best Tongits Players in the Philippines
The Tongits Plus Champions Cup will feature 36 top-tier players carefully selected through an intensive, eight-week, multi-stage online qualification process. Thousands of GameZone Tongits players competed for a coveted spot, but only the most consistent, strategic, and resilient competitors earned their place in the finals.
To ensure peak performance, all 36 qualified players will receive full travel and accommodation support, underscoring GameZone’s commitment to elevating professional Tongits tournaments in the Philippines.
The ultimate champion will take home half of the ₱10,000,000 prize pool—one of the biggest rewards ever offered in a local Tongits competition.
Tournament Format: A True Test of Skill and Strategy
The Tongits Plus Champions Cup (TPCC) features a dynamic and highly competitive format designed to test adaptability, focus, and mastery of the game.
Day 1: Three High-Intensity Rounds
Elimination Round
The tournament opens with all 36 players competing head-to-head. The top 12 finishers will automatically advance to the next stage.
Revival Round
The remaining 24 players will get a second chance in this redemption stage. Only half will survive and move forward to rejoin the leading contenders.
Promotional Round
Capping off Day 1, this decisive round will narrow the field to just nine elite players who will advance to the final day.
Day 2: The Road to the Grand Stage
Semifinals
The remaining nine competitors will battle fiercely for just three coveted seats in the championship round.
Grand Stage
The final three players will compete in the ultimate showdown. Here, the 2026 Tongits Plus Champions Cup winner will be crowned—the best Tongits player of the tournament—alongside the awarding of major prizes and final rankings.
More Than Just the Main Event
Beyond the headline competition, a side tournament will also take place, offering participants another chance to win from a ₱500,000 prize pool. This additional event adds even more excitement to what is already shaping up to be one of the biggest Tongits events in the Philippines.
Where to Watch the GameZone Tour Finals
