After a successful launch of Ranida Esports Network, followed by the success of their first tournament, Ranida Esports Network is now going to host their second tournament, targeting a much more niche community of Genshin Impact with a Genshin Impact TCG Tournament; open-to-all players.
Why Genshin Impact?
Genshin Impact is one of the biggest games in the Philippines at the moment, following Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Call of Duty: Mobile, and the likes. However, as Genshin Impact, by the nature of said game, is not an esports-centered game, there is not a lot of communities hosting tournaments for said game; in fact, there has not a single entity that hosted a Genshin Impact TCG tournament yet, which is why Ranida Esports Network is targeting to be the first entity to host one.
