“This partnership with MOONTON Games is a testament to their commitment to creating a platform for women and by women. We are grateful to MOONTON Games for creating the way towards inclusivity by mounting this event with us. May this initiative encourage women in esports to venture beyond their comfort zones and empower them to share their narratives of success,” says Chantelle Hernandez.
“At MOONTON Games, we give importance to the representation of women in esports. With the launch of SILAB: Road to MWI Finals 2024, we hope that this platform will put the spotlight on our Filipina MLBB gamers to be seen and heard as they are equally strong and talented as our male gamers. Filipinas, apart from being managers, coaches, hosts, and casters, are also strong MLBB esports athletes,” says Lee Viloria, MOONTON Games BD and Partnerships lead.
“We are delighted that this partnership between Moonton and Silab will bring much-needed momentum to move forward women in esports. We believe that esports is a great avenue to further push gender equality in sports and this collaboration will ignite the flames and light the way for our Esports community as a whole,” said Jab Escutin, PESO SIBOL general manager.
The winner of SILAB: Road to MWI Finals 2024 will be given a slot in the upcoming MWI 2024. This year, MWI will feature one of the largest prize pools for women’s tournaments in history, giving a bigger arena for female MLBB esports athletes.
