Ragnarok World Championship
The Ragnarok World Championship (RWC) was a series of international esport tournaments for the MMORPG Ragnarok Online from 2004 until 2013. It was organized by the game's South Korean developer GRAVITY, in partnership with various live service game publishers that managed each region's Ragnarok Online server. In the Philippines, the game was managed under Level Up!. The Philippines had participated in all of the events.
The series ended in 2013, due to the lack of funds from the official servers.

Event notes
- There were no world championships during 2005 and 2006.
- For RWC 2011, 5 out of 7 members of the guild "Naked Nanaman?" were denied Korean visas. Team Philippines conceded in the event. GRAVITY allowed the country to field Filipino substitutes and compete in the spirit of sportsmanship.
