ALCANTARA, CEBU--The stakes just got higher for Game Three of the 2021 Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup Visayas Finals.

Besides being declared as champions for the region and an outright ticket in the VisMin Super Cup Finals this August, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas owner Ronald Mascariñas has added a PHP500,000 prize for the winner of the game between MJAS Zenith-Talisay Aquastars and KCS Computer Specialist-Mandaue.

The game takes place tonight at the Civic Center here at 6 p.m. The game will air on the official Facebook pages of Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas and Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup and on Solar Sports.

"Despite the controversy the league faced in its early stages, Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup was able to redeem itself by enforcing stricter rules to combat illegal activities while raising the quality of the games. The players, especially those from MJAS-Talisay and KCS-Mandaue, also played inspired basketball for one whole month inside a bubble just to entertain and inspire us," said Mascariñas.

"Their sacrifices should be rewarded that is why we added an extra spice for the finalists."

The runner-up team will not go home empty-handed as it will take home PHP100,000.

Mascariñas assured that this will be on top of the sponsorship it had given the league for the professional league's inaugural conference.

KCS-Mandaue handed MJAS-Talisay its first loss of the tournament last Friday, taking Game One with a 67-66 squeaker. The Aquastars were able to send the series to a winner-take-all tilt a day later with a 63-56 victory.
