Cast your online vote for Master Gameface challenge teams

FilOil has partnered with Master in its first All-Star game, the Master Gameface Challenge.

The Master Gameface Challenge will feature former collegiate standouts and Master endorsers Borgie Hermida and Chris Tiu who will return to the collegiate game to coach the all-stars of Group A and B, respectively.

“This game will be exciting especially since this is the first time they’re holding an all-star game. When I played in this tournament before it wasn’t very big and this is a sign that it’s really growing,” said Hermida.

“I’m very excited about it. It’s a brilliant idea to get the NCAA and UAAP as well as other non-member schools to participate in this one-of-a-kind all-star game,” added Chris Tiu. “This is something new for the fans, something that not everyone gets to see and I look forward to that.”

Fans will be able to select the starting lineups for the Master Gameface Challenge via Master’s Facebook site at facebook.com/MasterPhilippines. The complete rosters of the Master Gameface Challenge will be announced on May 25.

Vote for your team

Being a big fan of coach Chris Tiu I visited the facebook.com/MasterPhilippines and came up with my own lineup of players that I would like coach Chris to handle.

I was informed that each team will have a total of 18 players competing in the Master Game Face Challenge. Each team competing in the FilOil Pre-season Tournament will have at least one player representative.

But, don’t take my word for it. Cast your own votes on Facebook Master Game Face Challenge. The page opens to a vote application where the fan, like me, is greeted by a brief welcome to the app with and two links: one leading to an instruction page with detailed step by step mechanics of the vote app and another, which leads to the Vote Page.

The Vote Page opens to a ballot with two teams labeled Team Chris and Team Borgie. Each team has a roster of five players each of a different position; point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. Each roster spot has an image placeholder of the Master Oil Control Logo. Clicking on the Master logo will bring up a drop down page, which has a list of all eligible players for that position. When a fan selects a player from that pool, the selected player’s picture will replace the Master Logo and the players’ name and school affiliation will be listed beneath the photo. When the fan filled out the roster by selecting a player for each position the ballot can then be submitted.

When the ballot has been submitted, the fan will land on a page, thanking him/her for casting his/her vote, and a list of dates to remember. Announcement of the All-Star Roster on May 25 and the Master Game Face Challenge on June 1. The fan vote will close on May 19.

Here are my team selections:

Team Chris Tiu

Point guard Juami Tiongson (Ateneo de Manila University), shooting guard Kiefer Ravena (Ateneo de Manila University), small forward Jeric Teng (University of Santo Tomas), power forward Aljon Mariano (University of Santo Tomas) and center Rodney Brondial (Adamson University).

Team Borgie Hermida

Point guard Baser Amer (San Beda), shooting guard Bobby Ray Parks (National University), small forward Rome del Rosa (San Beda), power forward Mark Bringas (Far Eastern University) and center Cedric Noube Happi (Emilio Aguinaldo University).
