MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines under-20 team, represented by the Davao City-NTB Wolves that won the recent national finals, takes on a crack team from North America to kick off the three-game opening bill of the first ever PSL Global Championship Challenge at the Smart Araneta Coliseum today.
