February 18, 2020
LAG forum 2020

The Esports AcadArena, in collaboration with the UP Department of Linguistics, the UP Samahang Linggwistika (UP SALIN) and the UP Gaming Guild (UPGG), organized the Language and Gaming (LAG) Forum: Language Politics in Professional Esports Casting in the Philippines. I was invited to give a talk about internet language and how Filipinos continue to shape/ be shaped by the use of language online.

The event was spearheaded and facilitated by Dave "P3rcy" Badiola who was the 2019 EAA Summer Hearthstone Champ.
