The stage is set. The pressure is rising. And the country’s most skilled Tongits players are preparing for a battle that could define their careers. The GZone Tour is officially back — and it’s not just returning. It’s evolving.
What began as the GameZone Tablegame Champions Cup (GTCC) has transformed into something far more ambitious: the Tongits Plus Champions Cup (TPCC). This bold new chapter under the GZone Tour banner represents a major leap forward for competitive Tongits in the Philippines.
With 36 elite contenders, a professionally designed tournament format, and a massive ₱10,000,000 prize pool, the GZone Tour comeback is more than a seasonal event. It is a statement that Tongits has entered a new competitive era.
From GTCC to TPCC: The Evolution of the GZone Tour
The journey of the GZone Tour began in 2024, when organized Tongits competitions started gaining serious momentum. Under the GTCC format, players experienced structured tournaments that showcased strategy, discipline, and skill.
The response was overwhelming. Competitive Tongits had found its spotlight.
But as the community grew, so did expectations.
The reintroduction of the tournament as the Tongits Plus Champions Cup signals refinement and elevation. The GZone Tour now offers:
- A sharper competitive focus
- A more professional tournament structure
- Higher rewards
- A stronger identity dedicated purely to elite Tongits gameplay
This evolution proves that the GZone Tour is committed to pushing competitive standards higher than ever before.
36 Elite Players. One Championship Dream.
Only 36 players earned their place in this year’s GZone Tour TPCC showdown.
The road to qualification was intense. Over the course of eight weeks, competitors battled through online rounds that tested:
- Strategic thinking
- Emotional composure
- Adaptability
- Consistency under pressure
Each week narrowed the field. Only the most disciplined and calculated players advanced.
Now, these 36 elite competitors enter the live GZone Tour arena, where every decision carries weight. Every draw and discard could mean the difference between elimination and advancement.
At the end of the tournament, only one name will rise above the rest — crowned champion of the GZone Tour.
₱10,000,000 Prize Pool: High Stakes, Higher Glory
The scale of this GZone Tour comeback is reflected in its extraordinary prize pool.
The breakdown is as follows:
- Champion – ₱5,000,000
- 2nd Place – ₱1,000,000
- 3rd Place – ₱500,000
Winning ₱5 million is transformative. It represents mastery at the highest competitive level of the GZone Tour. It validates months — even years — of practice and dedication.
Importantly, the reward system goes beyond just the top three. Other participants receive prizes based on ranking points, ensuring consistent performance throughout the GZone Tour is recognized.
This expanded prize structure is one of the main reasons TPCC is already being called the most exciting GZone Tour edition yet.
A Tournament Format Designed for Maximum Intensity
The GZone Tour TPCC format was carefully crafted to maximize suspense and competitive balance.
Day 1: Elimination and Revival
All 36 players begin in the Elimination Round.

Only three advance to the Grand Finals.
In the final round of the GZone Tour TPCC, the last three competitors face off in a decisive showdown. Strategy becomes sharper. Mistakes become costlier. Focus becomes everything.
