Women in esports: Shaping the future

Female gamers in Malaysia want more chances to flourish and be a part of the lucrative esports scene.

According to player Sofia A. Baozhai Lee aka Kuromi from team Madness Aubrey, there aren’t many events to promote the talents of female gamers.

The 21-year-old full-time esports gamer says she entered the UniPin Ladies Series MY/SG 2022 because it’s one of the few female-only tournaments in the country.

The prize pool for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang competition is RM7,500, with play-offs planned from June 22 to 25.

“I want to rack up achievements and gain as much experience as I can while competing as a player with a team.

“My own personal competitive experience so far has been mainly from training sessions or scrims (friendly matches),” she says.

Fellow Madness Aubrey teammate, Iffara’Adira Md Haidi or Hyolyn, also joined the UniPin tournament to hone her competitive skills.

“I train on my own just to warm up or test new heroes and study them.
