PAX West participants generally come to try out the latest indie games on high-end PCs and laptops. Games and technology change over time, but you will always explore, meet industry experts, celebrities, and get loads of free content.
Compared to all of this, the Republic of Gamers (ROG) 2019 booth may offer what PAX visitors love today - raffles, battle royale parties, and online personalities - but it also brings something totally new to the table.
Whatever the day between August 30 and September 2, you can visit the ROG booth. You'll want to queue early in the morning, especially if you think you're an expert in battle royale. This is the best way to make sure you win as much as you can!
In the morning, you can team up with another PAX participant to play Fortnite Duos on top of the line ROG desks. Be a part of one of the top ten winning teams and you will receive one ROG mechanical sculpture per player. These are limited edition Metal Earth mechanical eye sculptures that you can build yourself. They can usually only be found with ROG laptops. So, bring your best Fortnite teammate or just make a friend online, and you could win this collector's item.

Plus, mark your match's highest score and you'll earn automatic entry into the daily drawing at 3pm for a chance to win ROG gadgets and gear.
But being a build-strong demon isn't the only way to win prizes. The booth will offer other experiences and areas, revolving around ROG gaming devices like the new ROG Phone II. Check each zone and get your ROG "passport" stamped at each location, and it will be entered into the daily drawing. If you are unlucky, you can always come back another day and try again!
For another option, take a selfie in a competition on the Esports station and post it on Instagram. Check "rog_na", add the hashtag "#ROGatPAX" and you have an equal chance to win this mysterious ROG loot.
Despite all these different options, you may not be the type to care too much about PAX gifts. If this is the case, consider going to the booth in the afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. At that time, ROG will allow visitors to play Fortnite matches with streamers and "influencers" whom it has invited to its booth.
If you've ever wondered if you're ready for the esport world, now is your chance to test your mettle in front of the PAX crowds and see if your skills and nerves can take the pressure. Or you can just enjoy the show.

Jon Kefaloukos and Addison Queen are two of the "elite ambassadors" announced by ROG for their PAX booth. Kefaloukos, a former professional Gears of War player, is a professional presenter for Gears of War, Halo, and Fortnite tournaments. While Queen, an active duty aviator and member of the Grunto Esports Fortnite team, offers a more personalized perspective on PC building. Together, they will comment on the games and bring a tournament atmosphere to the ROG booth.
Once you're done trying to become a sports pro and win some great prizes, don't leave the ROG booth before trying out the successor to its hugely popular ROG phone.
The ROG Phone II is one of the only smartphones on the market that is genuinely designed for gaming. It incorporates cutting-edge technology such as its hardcore GPU, 120Hz HDR display for minimal touch response latency, heat sink, and integrated shoulder. Air triggers. This may explain why, once released, players have recovered 10.000 shares in stock in just over a minute.
We recommend that you emulate Techradar editors and conduct your own survey, measuring exactly the features that will enhance your mobile gaming experience. You can play demos of PUBG or Fortnite to get an idea of the superiority of these demanding games on a system specifically designed for them, compared to your current phone.
You couldn't ask for more excitement, technical presentations, and free content in a booth, making the ROG booth a must-have for your PAX West 2019 projects!
