EAST Asia Super League (EASL) kicks off its Season 1 with a groundbreaking, long-form reality series about the inaugural of the home-and-away regional championship league.
The series will explore the high stakes drama on and off the court throughout the basketball league’s inaugural season as teams compete from all over Greater China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines.
Taking center stage are the players, coaches and the greater team rivalries. The series will pull back the curtains on the contrasting cultures, gameplay and lifestyles of all that East Asian basketball has to offer.
During the inaugural grouping ceremony last month at Shangri-La The Fort, the production crew in Manila started to document the historic event and began interviewing league commissioners, top players, coaches and influencers.
As one of the oldest-running leagues in the world, the PBA has no shortage of stories to tell.
“The Philippines is a very basketball-passionate country, and the PBA is a league full of dynamic players and vibrant fans. We fully welcome and support this production series from EASL, and we look forward to working together on this in order to create something that our fans will really enjoy,” said PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial.
The Korean Basketball League has seen its popularity on the rise recently as traditional audiences take note of the rising level of play on the court. The series will now act as another catalyst in boosting its brand awareness with a larger demographic reach.
