I know many people are going to stay within the box for this point task. Picking standard locales in the most typical nations. In contrast, my first idea when reading this point task derived from the Tekken fighting game; the first one to be precise about it. The joy of playing that iconic 3D fighter on my PS1 as a little child sparked my choice for this point task. For those unaware, the Namco team put together a marvelous list of backdrops and scenery that included locations such as: Fiji, Antarctica, Chicago, Greece, Italy, England, Japan, China, and Scotland. No one had touched so many various locales in the video game before. Therefore, I thought about our unused continents to this point -- Asia, Africa, South America, and Antarctica, and decided to choose Manila, Philippines to host both championship games.
Why the Philippines? For one because it has a rich history and culture. Being involved in several international conflicts and a key post for the Dutch India trade routes. Two, because our Pacific Ocean brethren need some proper representation. But the main reason would be because the Taal Volcano would sit in the backdrop of the games. If we’re lucky, we wont even need stadium lights as the magma blasts could provide plenty of natural lighting with some bonus heat to offset those perpetual coastal breezes. For the halftime show, we can have the biggest pinoy football fans recreate the biggest ISFL moments in history as they routinely do for the NBA.
