It is shaping up to be an exciting year for gamers in Visayas, particularly in Cebu, Philippines. PC maker Lenovo has opened its Legion concept store in SM City Cebu.
Legion is Lenovo’s dedicated gaming brand which offers a wide range of products designed to provide a complete and immersive experience. Launched in 2017, the Legion line has established a significant foothold in the Philippines and was even recognized by global market research company GFK as one of the fastest-growing PC gaming brands.
Located at the second floor of the mall’s Cyberzone area, the Legion Store SM Cebu will showcase Lenovo’s top-of-the-line gaming devices such as monitors, towers, laptops, and peripherals and accessories. Mall goers can come and visit to try out Legion devices and see how they handle the latest PC games and Lenovo will be organizing monthly gaming tournaments in the store.
The Legion Store SM Cebu is the first exclusive Legion concept store in Visayas and second in the Philippines after the Legion Store SM City North EDSA in Quezon City, Metro Manila. This expansion is part of Lenovo’s thrust to make its products even more accessible to the gaming community outside Metro Manila.
“Putting up a Legion store in one of the Philippines’ major cities is a significant stride for Lenovo,” Lenovo general manager Michael Ngan said. “We work very hard in developing best-performing devices and part of the goal is to make these products accessible.”
“You can expect to see more Lenovo and Legion stores across the market and more of our presence in local events,” Ngan continued. “In fact, we have something special for our gamers based in the North shortly so stay tuned.”
Ngan led the grand opening of Legion Store SM Cebu on January 31, 2020. As part of the opening celebration, Lenovo hosted gaming tournaments which saw players battle it out on “Tekken 7,” “Mortal Kombat X” and “Left 4 Dead 2” and winners of the tournaments received exclusive Lenovo and Legion merchandise and accessories.
Several Lenovo Philippines officials were also present during the event including product manager for Legion and desktop Tristan Gonzales and consumer lead Sally Yu. They are also joined by its partners, Thinking Tools Inc. Chairman and founder Wilson Tan, managing director Virgin Tan, business unit head Nica Tan and product development manager for Lenovo Teresa Villanil.
In celebration of the store’s opening, the Legion Store SM Cebu held a special hardware promo on its first day. Some of the latest Legion products available at the store which were part of the promo include the Legion Y740, Legion Y730, and Legion Y540.
Those who bought any of the three devices came home with a free Legion K200 Keyboard and Legion M200 Mouse. Meanwhile, those who purchased the IdeaPad L340 Gaming device got a free Seagate Slim 1TB HDD.
Legion Store SM Cebu is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. To learn more about the store and its current offers and promos, visit https://www.facebook.com/lenovophilippines/ and https://www.facebook.com/lenovolegionPH/.
