Wild Rift’s Pentaboom Showdown is just days away and Team Phoenix is ready to take flight.
Well-known gaming personalities make up the Philippine team for the celebrity tournament, namely Tier One’s Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao, streamer and actress Dexie Diaz, actor James Reid, and former Miss World Megan Young.
The team has been getting help from content creators and streamers of the game, including Raux TV and Arctikuno. Arctikuno shares that while the busy schedules of the celebrities have been a challenge, Team Phoenix is picking the game up quickly and impressively. Visiting the gaming pages of these celebrities might reveal who’s on what role, but he says Team Phoenix has some surprises up their sleeve.
“You guys are going to be seeing familiar faces in roles that you might have seen them in before,” Arctikuno told ONE Esports. “Others are going to be in a position where you never thought you’d see them in.”

“I’m proud of this particular celebrity that you’ll be seeing, who’s managed to step up and go out of their comfort zone,” Arctikuno shares. “Who’s that? Is it Alodia? Is it Ashley? Is it Megan? You guys will have to watch the Pentaboom Showdown to find out.”
Team Phoenix will be competing for a prize pool of USD $66,500 and sponsored prizes, alongside other teams from the SEA region.
