The Comeback Everyone’s Waiting For: GZone Tour Returns

Shuffle the deck. Take a deep breath. Feel the pressure rise.

The GZone Tour is back — and this time, it’s bigger, bolder, and built for legends.

What was once known as the GameZone Tablegame Champions Cup (GTCC) has officially evolved into something far more explosive: the Tongits Plus Champions Cup (TPCC). This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a full transformation of the competitive scene under the GZone Tour banner — sharper format, higher stakes, stronger players, and a jaw-dropping ₱10,000,000 prize pool.

If you thought Tongits was intense before, you haven’t seen anything yet.
