Mineski Infinity Blitz: The Philippines’ Most Advanced Cybercafe

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Mineski Infinity Cybercafes invited us to a closed doors pre-opening launch of the newest addition to their ever-growing cybercafe network - the Mineski Infinity Blitz.

With the biggest game titles becoming more and more graphically-polished, the hardware requirement of these games also increases. Avid gamers can sometimes find that the investment in an expensive gaming rig is what keeps the most highly-anticipated games out of reach for them.

That is, until the launch of the Mineski Infinity Blitz cybercafé, powered by ASUS Republic of Gamers. The MI Blitz is located in Wilson St., San Juan.

The MI Blitz will be the most advanced cybercafe in the Philippines, with state-of-the-art ASUS-powered desktops that are far and beyond the most powerful computers to be found in a cybercafe anywhere in the Philippines. No longer will gamers have to wax wistful about getting to play the latest triple-A titles at the highest settings.

Not only that, but these extremely high-end rigs will be available for use at convenient, user-friendly rates (exact rates to be announced soon). As the brainchild of Mineski Infinity and ASUS ROG, the MI Blitz is a project to bring the best gaming experience possible to everyday gamers who would otherwise never get the chance to play on high-end gaming setups.
