Bigger And Richer RVS CUP Featuring Massive ₱32M Guarantee Is Just A Few Days Away

Each year, the Metro Card Club hosts its most prestigious event, the RVS CUP, with prize pools that only keep getting bigger. This year, the stakes are higher than ever with a jaw dropping PHP 32 million (~US$ 553,400) festival guarantee – that’s well over half a million USD! Given the past years’ packed turnouts, this total is expected to soar even higher especially with multiple key events lined up. In addition, the festival now runs a total of two weeks from November 1 to 14, 2024. Here are the highlights.

RVS CUP 2024

Created by the Metro in 2014, the RVS CUP has since become the most popular local tournament in the Philippines. Starting with just the Main Event, the roster has grown to include other tournaments with this year’s offering at the largest of 11 events. While locals have continuously populated the games, the international contingent has grown with a strong showing of Koreans and Europeans each year.

RVS CUP Main Event

The festival is headlined by the RVS CUP Main Event with a PHP 20,000,000 (~US$ 345,850) prize pool. Not only is that double of last year’s guarantee, it is also a new prize pool record for this event. Now in its 11th year, the early years crowned champions that included Richard Marquez, Lester Edoc, Anacleto Quijano, Jeffrey Calma, Christopher Chua, Marco Almerez, Vamerdino Magsakay, and the latest was Edilberto Gopez who won it last year.
