The star-studded tournament aims to raise money for the PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. amid the coronavirus pandemic. According to the post, the Lockdown Games is Mineski Esports' way "para makatulong tayong mga gamers ng kahit konti habang naka-quarantine tayong lahat."
In a previous interview with SPIN Life, the organization's lead product manager Izo Lopez shared, “It was perfect timing because we were also looking to keep our community engaged during this time. As we developed the idea, we realized this is a great opportunity for gamers to contribute to the public health efforts.”
