Mobile Legends: Bang Bang's Women's Invitational is on the horizon, and esports organization CBZN is making waves with its new Athena League. This league serves as the official qualifier for Filipino players in the upcoming Invitational.
Esports often lags behind in gender representation, but organizations like CBZN are actively working to change that. The Athena League is a significant step forward, bolstering the already impressive female presence in MLBB's competitive scene.
Based in the Philippines, the Athena League is a female-focused competition for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. It's designed to be the official qualifier for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational at this year's Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia. The Philippines has already proven its strength in this area, with team Omega Empress winning the 2024 Women's Invitational. CBZN aims to not only support those vying for a spot in the Invitational, but also to provide broader support for women entering the esports world.

The underrepresentation of women in esports is often attributed to a lack of official support. For too long, esports has defaulted to a male-dominated image, despite a large female fanbase and many talented female players at the grassroots level.
The Athena League's creation signifies positive progress, offering crucial support to female players. Open qualifiers and events like this are vital for developing talent and providing opportunities to reach the global stage—opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible.
This also highlights Mobile Legends: Bang Bang's continued commitment to the Esports World Cup, returning for the Women's Invitational. MLBB's participation in the inaugural event and its return for this year's competition further solidifies its position in the global esports landscape.
