Recognized as the most elite digital tournament for Filipino card game enthusiasts, GTCC brings together top-tier players from all corners of the Philippines in a fierce yet culturally rich display of strategic gameplay.
From seasoned Tongits tacticians to quick-thinking Pusoy Dos players and Lucky 9 masters, the tournament elevates traditional games into a competitive esports experience.
This annual showdown attracts thousands of aspiring champions from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao—uniting players under one virtual arena where they battle not just for prizes, but also for prestige, recognition, and a place in Filipino gaming history.
Why GTCC Has Captured the Filipino Gaming Community
Card games are deeply embedded in Filipino social life—whether at family reunions, town fiestas, or late-night hangouts. GTCC respects this heritage while amplifying the stakes. It transforms casual backyard games into high-level digital tournaments, where skill and strategy rule.
Here are the key reasons GTCC continues to gain traction:
- Prestige on a National Scale
Winning the GTCC is a major achievement. It represents not only skill, but also a player’s dedication, game sense, and tactical mastery. GTCC champions are regarded as elite in the local card game scene. - Real Prizes and Long-Term Recognition
Players who succeed in GTCC receive real cash awards, limited-edition in-game rewards, and a permanent spot in the GameZone PH Hall of Champions—immortalizing their achievements. - Fair and Structured Competition
GTCC follows a professional-grade format with validated rules, ranked game modes, and a strict bracket system. Every match is monitored to ensure fairness, competitiveness, and integrity.
The Core Games That Define GTCC
The tournament revolves around three of the most iconic and skill-driven card games in the Philippines:
- Tongits
The headline event, Tongits requires more than just luck. It tests mental agility, bluffing, memory, and real-time decision-making. With high-pressure stakes and dramatic finishes, GTCC Tongits matches are must-watch spectacles. - Pusoy Dos
Known for its strategic depth, Pusoy Dos rewards calculated moves, pattern recognition, and timing. In GTCC, players must sequence their plays flawlessly to outmaneuver the competition. - Lucky 9
