MasterGameFace Master® Game Face All-Star Basketball Challenge

Yesterday Master the men's leading facial cleanser launched its Master® Game Face All-Star Basketball Challenge Year 2.  A bigger version of of the previous year's game. This year is the showdown where the best collegiate players, PBA and Gilas players face off for an epic match as they show their oil-free game faces on the court. The game features the teams of two PBA stars and current Master® Ambassadors – Chris Tiu and Marc Pingris.

This certainly is an even match and no sure bet who will win. Each team has his  counterpart in the other that it will be an exciting event.  There will be two teams with a mix of players – Team Chris and Team Marc. The starting five per team are members of UAAP schools. Beefing up the line-up are NCAA players and to complete each team, fans will be able to vote for their favorite PBA and Gilas players via the Master® Game Face Voting application in Facebook.com/MasterPhilippines.

After 6 weeks of online voting where fans got to choose their top players, a draft for the top 12 players was held last June 7 to officially complete the pool of players under Team Chris and Team Marc.  From a pool of 30 PBA players, Tiu selected Ranidel De Ocampo, Jeff Chan, Larry Fonacier, Jimmy Alapag, Jeric Teng and Alex Nuyles to backstop UAAP and NCAA collegiate stars Jeron Teng, Chris Newsome, Kevin Ferrer, Mike Tolomia, Rome Dela Rosa, Mark Cruz, and Zach Nichols.

Pingris, on the other hand, chose Gary David, Mark Barroca, Mike Cortez, Jared Dillinger, Cliff Hodge and Paul Artadi to provide experience to his team composed of UAAP and NCAA standouts Andre Paras, Jeoffrey Javillonar, Jericho Cruz, Roi Sumang, Baser Amer, Kevin Racal, and Josan Nimes. 

so you think that's it?  Wait there's more. Aside from the highly-anticipated match-up, the Master Game Face All-Star Basketball Challenge also promises basketball fans an equally thrilling halftime show courtesy of Minnesota Timberwolves’ star player Kevin Love who will be coming over to Manila for the first time.The 6’10” power forward is set to appear during the event to display his signature basketball moves and outlet passing in a skills challenge. The 2012 NBA 3-point shootout champion will also slug it out with some of the PBA’s best shooters in a 3-point shootout. Joining him as well will be basketball slam dunkers from the US to bring a truly memorable and exciting basketball fest.
