Teams
ArkAngel
One of the best Philippine esports orgs, they boast one of the best CS:GO lineups housing very seasoned players. Adapting a systematic playstyle just like their main rivals, TNC, but they bring their own unpredictability into the mix which can offset even the most top teams in the country. Despite a minor slump, they recently concluded a respectable run in an international qualifier overpowering many strong south east asian teams. ArkAngel are now looking to redeem themselves from the 2nd place finish at TESL2 and to take the top spot in the scene.
Cyberia Gaming Hub
Arguably the best team to come out of the Mindanao CS:GO scene, Cyberia has one of the most erratic yet patient styles that tends top catch teams off guard. They also have a reputation of making some of the best comebacks in the games that most people would say they had already lost. Nerves of steel mixed with their playstyle will definitely give any team they're up against a run for their money. Their results aren't lackluster either, recently beating some SEA teams in a qualifier and also getting 3rd at the Zowie eXTREMESLAND Philippine qualifier.
Empyrean
Emerging from the hardest group of the tournament, Empyrean consists of players who have been in the scene for a while but have yet to achieve any wins in the big stage - yet have now gained a chance to prove themselves. Armed with years of experience in the scene and watching the top teams from the sidelines, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the tournament. Their hyper-aggressive playstyle, fast retakes and great defense will surely give their rivals a hard time.
Expendables
The royal family of the national scene, Expendables have been through generations of talented players despite their on and off status. Waking up from their slumber, Expendables find themselves in the top 8 of a prestigious tournament looking to out aim, out shine, and out age their opponents with passion, experience, and skill.
Fragsports
Five members that have been in teams that have had good runs in the scene, but not quite as far as the top dogs. These five have combined to become Fragsports, as they aim to make a name for themselves within the scene and assert their dominance. Their monstrous skills strike fear in most teams, as their pinpoint accuracy and scary aggressive strategy can catch unsuspecting rivals off guard.
MetroCebu
Looking to incorporate some fresh strategies on the scene, MetroCebu are no stranger to national events like these. One of the two Visayan teams that have had previous experience running through tournaments of this tier but have yet to find a breakthrough up until now. With the Visayan scene at their backs to motivate them, will they have what it takes to go through the rankings and take that top spot?
Station-751
Experienced to the core with top 4 placings in previous national tournaments, this Visayan lineup is looking to prove a point and show off the prowess of their region. If there is hope for Visayas, this is the team that will justify that point. Wielding a pure and raw playstyle Station-751 is not a team to look away from as the pressure is on them to perform on stage one more time for the piece of that 7-digit prize pool.
TNC
The undisputed kings of the Philippine CS:GO scene this year making their presence known locally and internationally with their deep runs in tournaments such as Zowie eXTREMESLAND. They have been dominating the local scene for quite some time, winning the past 3 tournaments PlayonWASD had organized including the coveted TESL2. Their systematic and calculated playstyle will be one of the hardest to play against coming into Plus Attack - and if teams aren't prepared, they will be steamrolled as seen tons of times by TNC, the local powerhouse.
Illuminate.Wise
Hailing from the country of Thailand, they're here to show and represent how great they are show everyone what they can do. With the amount of tournaments they've won, and carrying the reputation that they do, they're here to attack, win, and dominate this tournament.
MMK
One of the two Filipino teams present at Plus Attack, MMK is out to show their pride competing with the best teams Overwatch has to offer. Spearheaded by a recognizable face in the Overwatch scene, Daks, the team brings a calculated aggression to its game and will stop at nothing to gain the recognition of being Plus Attack's first Overwatch champion.
Fear The Name
A locally bred team who have shown perseverance and grit all throughout the tournament. Bringing their never-give-up attitude, they hit a stroke of luck and scored big at the Last Chance Qualifiers for a golden opportunity to show everyone exactly what they are made of.
