Emerald Bay Casino in Cebu is now for sale! Explore this prime 12.4-hectare beachfront property with huge development potential on Punta Engaño peninsula. The long-delayed Emerald Bay Casino project in Mactan hits another setback, as PH Resorts misses its buyback deadline—putting Emerald Bay Casino for sale back in the spotlight. The future of the Emerald Bay Resort and Casino in Mactan, Cebu remains uncertain as China Banking Corporation (Chinabank) prepares to sell the property after PH Resorts Group Holdings Inc. (PHR), led by Dennis Uy, missed its chance to reclaim the land. The site — a 12.4-hectare beachfront lot — was part of a 2023 sale and leaseback deal between PHR and Chinabank. The agreement was structured to help PHR settle a ₱3.1-billion loan while continuing development of the Emerald Bay project. Included in that deal was a clause giving PHR the right to repurchase the property, but that option expired in March 2025. Chinabank Chairman Hans Sy confirmed the title has since been transferred to the bank. He added that while PHR had requested more time, the bank had already granted an extension, and no further concessions would be made. Emerald Bay was originally set for a soft opening in early 2022, but the timeline was repeatedly pushed back due to COVID-related disruptions, labor shortages, and financing challenges. Though PHR pursued talks with potential backers like AppleOne Properties, Bloomberry Resorts, and Tiger Resort Leisure, none of those discussions led to concrete investment. In an effort to revive the project, PHR also entered into an agreement with EEI Corporation in December 2024. EEI, through PHR’s parent company Udenna Corp., provided ₱300 million in funding to cover lease payments and interest owed to Chinabank. With the repurchase deadline now passed, Chinabank is actively seeking buyers for the land — a high-value parcel located on the scenic Punta Engaño peninsula in Cebu. While the site still holds promise for development, the fate of the original casino-resort vision remains in limbo. Whether a new investor will step in or the project is reshaped entirely, one thing is clear: Emerald Bay’s next chapter is no longer in Dennis Uy’s hands.

Relax Gaming unleashes Fang’s Inferno, its fiery new release that challenges players to tame Fang the dragon. This exciting slot game features wilds, free spins, and massive win potential, offering a thrilling adventure for all players.

Fang the dragon can appear in the bonus row positioned above reels two, three and four, and when a Wild Dwarf symbol lands on the same reel, Blazin’ Wilds triggers, and wilds will spread and fill all of the positions between them. Fang may land with a multiplier ranging between two and five.  When Fang lands with a multiplier above and below the same wild, the original wild receives the multiplied values of the two as its multiplier. Whenever three or more Fang symbols fill the bonus row, three respins are awarded. During these respins, Fang symbols hold in place for the entirety of the respins, increasing the chance of triggering the Blazin’ Wilds feature. Whenever three bonus Symbols land anywhere on the reels, players are faced with Fang’s Bonus Picks. This allows players to choose between Fiery Free Spins or Fang’s Mystery Prize.  Should players pick Fiery Free Spins, they will receive nine spins, with all Fang symbols held in place for the duration of the bonus. Fang’s multiplier values can randomly increase at the start of the spin, and Fiery Free Spins are retriggered when three or more bonus symbols land. Should players opt for Fang’s Mystery Prize instead, they will be awarded a random prize worth up to 5,000x the bet amount. Players can opt to buy into Fang’s Bonus Pick at any given time. Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, said : “It’s great to see Fang back on our screens once more, firing up massive wins for those who dare to take on the legendary dragon.

Zeus’ roster marks the end of T1’s ZOFGK era in League of Legends. The ZOGFK roster won two of their three world championship appearances. Choi “Zeus” Woo-je has left five-time League of Legends World champion T1. Zeus, the Worlds 2023 most-valuable player, steered T1 to its fourth world championship in front of the home crowd in Seoul.  READ: League of Legends: China To Host Worlds 2025, Says Riot Games “Today, we part ways with 'Zeus.' We truly thank him for all that he has accomplished at T1 and wish him all the best,” T1 said. T1 will sign in former Hanwha Life Esports top laner Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon to fill in the void left by Zeus. Zeus’ departure after two consecutive World Championship titles shocked the League of Legends community as his departure marked the end of the legendary ZOFGK era. Ryu " Keria " Min-seok first renewed his contract, followed by jungler Mun "Oner" Hyeon-jun, and AD Carry Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong. Esports legend Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok’s contract with T1 lasts until 2026. Prior to this, T1 said it was committed to listen to calls to retain all the players on its roster.  Zeus began his professional League of Legends career with T1 in 2019, initially competing on the team’s LCK Academy roster. A year later, he was promoted to the main roster, where he would go on to achieve significant success. Zeus, a prominent top laner, joined T1 in 2020 after starting his career with their academy team. He initially served as a substitute but quickly became a key member of the main roster, forming the renowned "ZOFGK" lineup alongside Faker, Oner, Keria, and Gumayusi. This formidable team dominated the LCK, winning the Spring 2022 title with an undefeated run. T1's dominance continued for the next two years, securing multiple LCK titles. However, despite their domestic success, the team faced challenges on the international stage. Despite this, the ZOFGK roster achieved remarkable success, winning the World Championship twice in a row in 2023 and 2024.  Read related article: 2024 League of Legends Worlds Finals Most-Viewed Esports Game

Southeast Asian squad Xipto Gaming will be the lone Pacific contender in the Final Four of the 2024 Valorant Game Changers World Championship. Southeast Asian squad Xipto Gaming is the lone Pacific contender in the Final Four of the 2024 Valorant Game Changers World Championship ongoing now at Berlin, Germany.  This comes after a reverse-sweep over Latin American squad KRU BLAZE, 2-1, in their lower bracket playoffs match at the Riot Games Arena.  This is the second year in a row that Camille "Kamiyu" Enriquez, Kelly "shirazi" Jaudian, Alexandria "Alexy" Francisco, Odella "enerii" Abraham, and Ryona Shannen "Tarathiel" Tan cracked through the Final Four of the competition. They were under the Team SMG banner during last year's edition of Valorant's global tournament for women and marginalized genders.  Down 1-0, Xipto won tight contests in Abyss and Pearl to eliminate the Sergio Aguero-founded squad from the competition. Kamiyu starred in the 3-game series, collecting an average combat score of 258. The squad's star duelist Enerii followed with an ACS of 228.  This was a crucial win for Xipto which went on the brink of elimination after a 0-2 beating by defending champions Shopify Rebellion, led by Indonesian-American Melanie "MeL" Capone and Ava "Florescent" Eugene in an earlier match. Prior to its loss against Shopify, Xipto had a 38-game winning streak spanning from the Southeast Asian, and the Pacific regional qualifiers.    They will be joining Shopify Rebellion, G2 Gozen, and MIBR GC as the remaining teams in the playoffs. Xipto has the chance to improve its 4th place standing from last year when it faces MIBR GC on November 16 (2 PM GMT+8).  Read related article: Paper Rex rules Valorant invitational in China

Professional League of Legends player and T1’s star support player Ryu “Keria” Min-seok  Ryu "Keria" Min-seok has extended his contract until 2026. In a move that solidifies T1's dominance in the League of Legends esports scene, support player Ryu "Keria" Min-seok has extended his contract with the five-time World Champions until 2026. This long-term commitment ensures that Keria will continue to be a crucial part of T1's roster for the foreseeable future. "As I've won Worlds twice with T1, I'm confident that there are even greater heights we can reach together," Keria expressed in an official statement, as reported by One Esports. Keria's previous contract with T1 was set to expire on November 18, 2024. With this renewal, he joins the ranks of legendary mid laner Faker, whose contract expires in 2026. The future of T1's core roster, including top laner Choi "Zeus" Woo-je, jungler Mun "Oner" Hyeon-jun, and AD Carry Lee "Gumayusi"  Min-hyeong, remains uncertain as their contracts are also up for renewal. On November 2, 2024, South Korea’s T1 defeated League of Legends Pro League (LPL) team Bilibili Gaming in an odds-stacked, 3-2 win, finishing it off through a cardiac series for both teams. This was Keria, Gumayusi, Oner, and Zeus’ second Worlds title, and Faker’s fifth.  This further cemented the ZOFGK roster’s place as one of the best League of Legends teams of all time, bagging two straight titles, at the expense of two League of Legends Professional League (LPL) squads. Keria is expected to join T1’s quest for three straight world titles in 2025, when the League of Legends scene undergoes a massive overhaul.  T1 won the trophy last year at home in Gocheok Sky Dome, through a dominant 4-0 win against Weibo Gaming.
