The esports industry is making strides towards better gender representation, and the upcoming Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational is a testament to this progress. The newly launched Athena League by CBZN Esports is a significant step forward, serving as the official qualifier for players in the Philippines aiming to compete in the invitational at the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia this year.
The Athena League is specifically designed to bolster the female presence in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) esports scene. This initiative not only supports those vying for a spot in the invitational but also aims to provide broader support for women entering the esports arena. The Philippines has already demonstrated its prowess in MLBB, with team Omega Empress clinching victory at the 2024 Women's Invitational.

Historically, the esports world has struggled with gender representation, often lagging behind other sectors. Despite a strong presence of female fans and players at the grassroots and amateur levels, official support has been lacking. The Athena League and similar initiatives are crucial in providing the necessary support and opportunities for female players to hone their skills and compete on the global stage.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang continues to be a leader in the esports community, participating in the Esports World Cup and hosting events like the Women's Invitational. These efforts not only enhance the game's profile but also contribute significantly to the inclusivity and diversity of the esports ecosystem.
