On January 25, Laki Play hosted an exclusive Players Gathering, bringing together some of the most active and passionate members of the community for a day of engagement, fun, and recognition. The event aimed to strengthen connections among players, reward loyalty, and introduce new features while celebrating the love of basketball and fantasy sports.
The gathering welcomed Honor Players Jopapi, John Fermo, and Emil Espirito, who have consistently demonstrated their skill and dedication on the platform. Joining them was Alpha Zero, recognized as one of the most active and competitive players in the Laki Play community. Together, they shared the stage with fellow players in an atmosphere of friendly competition and camaraderie.
The event began with a relaxed lunch and mingle session, giving players the opportunity to connect with the Laki Play team and with each other. Over delicious food, participants shared stories about their favorite moments, memorable wins, and strategies for building winning lineups.
During this time, the team introduced More or Less, a brand-new mini-game concept. Players got a sneak peek of the game’s mechanics and objectives in a light, conversational overview. This introduction sparked excitement as participants discussed potential strategies while enjoying their meal.
The heart of the gathering focused on player stories and content creation. Honor Players and active community members were interviewed about their journey on Laki Play, sharing insights such as:
These sessions were also captured on camera, producing short-form videos and social media-ready content to inspire both current and new players. By highlighting the experiences of top players, the gathering not only celebrated their achievements but also encouraged others to engage with the community and participate in future events.
In parallel with interviews, players had the chance to compete in More or Less – Survival Mode, a dynamic side activity. Each participant received BWNT Game Credits, competing head-to-head in elimination rounds. Winners advanced while collecting credits from eliminated players, adding a fun and competitive edge throughout the afternoon. This activity allowed participants to try the new game in real-time while keeping the energy high and interactive.
The excitement continued with a PBA Game Ticket Raffle, where 10 lucky participants received same-day tickets to catch live games. This was followed by an exclusive private Laki Play contest, giving players another chance to test their skills in a focused environment. Winners received in-game rewards or BWNT Game Credits, with prize claiming facilitated after the PBA game. The combination of raffles, contests, and interactive mini-games kept the energy high and fostered a sense of community among all attendees.
The Players Gathering was more than just a day of games and interviews, it was a celebration of the growing Laki Play community. By bringing together dedicated players, creating content, and sharing stories, the event showcased the platform’s commitment to building a vibrant, connected community. Participants left with new insights, new friendships, and a renewed excitement for future competitions.
Laki Play hopes to see this community continue to grow. We are encouraging everyone to join, play, and be part of this journey. The goal is simple: the more players participate, the more opportunities there will be to host events, create content, and bring the community together. With passion, competition, and shared love for basketball, Laki Play aims to create experiences that go beyond the app, turning virtual gameplay into real-life connections.
The Players Gathering is just the beginning. As Laki Play introduces new features, contests, and mini-games, the community can look forward to more opportunities to connect, compete, and celebrate, both online and offline.
