It was established in 2011 by commissioner Brian Lim of the Cebu City Sports Commission following his attendance to a conference by the IeSF in Andong, South Korea[4]

Its membership includes firms and other organizations under the eSports National Association of the Philippines (eSNAP) and the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Esports Union (PSEU).[5]
