Held Gameloop Players Arena Tournament, EPG Together with Tencent Introduces Gameloop Emulator to Indonesian Gamers

A video game competition using a PC may be quite common, and even now using a smartphone is also an alternative that is no less exciting in an esports match. However, what about the competition using emulators? It seems to be something quite different and certainly interesting to follow its development.

We are now officially on the platform Tiktok! Follow our Tiktok account at @gamebrott.com to find various information and our other interesting video content.

PT Putra Tekno Asia which formed the eSports Pro Game (ePG) committee held a PUBG Mobile competition using the Gameloop emulator under the name Gameloop Players Arena (GPA). And of course this competition is a PUBG Mobile competition with emulators for the first time in Indonesia.

Unlike the competition which is generally followed by professional players, the GPA competition is open to various groups; from young to adult, professional or amateur. Where indirectly, this competition is also aimed at superior seeds who might normally only play with their tongkrongan, now have the opportunity to further hone their skills, and show their fangs in a competitive shutter.

The first GPA competition was held on July 20, 2019 in three places at once; Highground, Orion Esport Arena, and Noki Cybernet Café. At least targeting 240 registered to compete for a total prize of 12 million rupiah. And the author himself also had the opportunity to watch the competition live at one of the location of the match.

Here are some photos of the excitement of the GPA competition series.

Not only present as a competition, another purpose of holding this GPA is also at the same time introducing the Gameloop emulator to Indonesian gamers. The author also had the opportunity to have a little chat with several figures involved in organizing the GPA event and developing the Gameloop emulator itself, namely; Ms. Michelle as Head of Marketing (and translator at the event), Ms. Vivi as Head of Gameloop and Mr. Maicom as Overseas Marketing.

Ms. Vivi explained that Gameloop has various new features other than gaming, such as the presence of news, browsers, video streaming, or even livestreaming the game being played. Mr. Maicom then added, that several other emulators do have similar features, but the Gameloop emulator allows it to do so multi-tasking smoothly, for example, playing PUBG Mobile while streaming on YouTube for example.

Not only that, Ms. Vivi also explained that currently Gameloop itself has more than 50 popular games that can be played optimally in its library, and are ready to be downloaded at any time. But in the future, Gameloop plans to bring more than 100 other games and will continue to be updated regularly.

You may be wondering if the Gameloop version with these new features will be heavier than the previous version, considering that many themselves require a PC with high enough specifications for a maximum gaming experience. Ms. Vivi stated that for now Gameloop also requires a fairly high PC specification, but in the future, they will continue to strive to make the Gameloop emulator run optimally and play smoothly on PCs or laptops with low specifications.

Regarding the GPA event itself, the organizers also plan that the GPA competition will be held again in the future. Mr. Mischelle added that this competition will be held regularly with levels that are not so far apart, which is about once every two weeks. This certainly opens up wide opportunities for PUBG players who want to compete and further hone their skills in the esports shutter.

Congratulations to the winners of the inaugural GPA competition at the Highgrounds location!
