Orosco, EAAP President and Chairman, Prof. David A. Gualin, EAAP Academics Director, Prof. Jose P. Ortega, EAAP Director/TESDA Trainer and Engr. Giovanni Albert S. Torres, EAAP Training Director.

The Academy was conceived late 2019 and was first named Philippine National Esports League (PNEL) - Academic Branch or PNEL Academics, for it being one of the branches of PNEL which focuses on academics. The EAAP name and logo was conceived by Atty. Renta, Prof. Gualin and Prof. Ortega through the PNEL Creative Team whose primary artist and Director for Games is Angelico "Buds" Loresco. Its current president, Engr. Orosco, provided the administrative support and signed the lease for the academy's location which is at the 2nd Floor, Heritage Building Mangubat Avenue Dasmariñas, Cavite.

Together with EAAP, these three reflect the PNEL ecosystem. These are the three suprastructures of PNEL. PNEL is duly sanctioned by the Esports World Federation ESWF, and it is the community of ESWF in the Philippines.
