Domination
Domination was a series of annual gaming conventions held in the Philippines by the now-defunct live service game publisher E-Games.
About
Domination events were held every April to celebrate the commercial launch of E-Games, which occurred on March 31, 2006. All events were held in the City of Pasay, Philippines.
Domination events held tournament grand finals for various live service games published by E-Games. Later events were paired with accompanying "Road to Domination" campaigns, a series of prelude tournaments to select the finalists for the main Domination events.
Domination VI in 2012 was held after E-Games had merged with Level Up!.
Esports
Domination events are the venues of annual nationwide tournaments for some of the games handled by E-Games.
"Road to Domination" is a series of qualifying tournaments by E-Games as a prelude to the national championships in the main Domination events. These prelude events started on Domination III. These events are identical to Level Up! Live's qualifying tournaments that eventually build up to the main events. The tournament qualifiers are held on various internet cafés located at major cities in the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao regions.

Event note
- By 2012, E-Games had merged with competing publisher Level Up!, which made Domination VI the final event. Level Up!'s own annual event in 2012, which occurred months after Domination VI, was named Level Up! Live 2012: Domination to reflect the merge.
