The Filipino team finished the group stage with a 4-0 record, claiming the top spot and went on to a flawless grand finals victory against Singapore. The Sibol Women's Wild Rift Squad is comprised of members from Grind Sky Eris, the same team that dominated the FSL (Female Sports League) Open II 2022. The Philippines' female Wild Rift squad is the first team to acquire its Gold Medal in the 31st SEA Games esports events.
Sibol’s Female Wild Rift team finishes with a flawless victory
The squad comprised of Charize “Yugen” Doble, Christine “Rayray” Natividad, Rose Anne “Hell Girl” Robles, April “Aeae” Valiente, and Giana “Jeeya” Llanes bagged their first Gold medal after a smooth sailing run in the 31st SEA Games.
Thailand’s all-female squad started strong in the playoffs with a Game 1 victory. However, the Philippines team managed to turn the tides in their favor and kickstarted its momentum with three straight wins, sending the Thailand squad down to the Bronze Medal bracket.
The grand finals match was far from one-sided for both teams with the Singaporeans opting for a highly aggressive playstyle while the Philippines focused on objective clearing and well-executed rotations. The match eventually ended with the Philippines squad wiping the floor with the Singaporean team with a solid 3-0 victory.
After falling hard in various esports titles in the 31st SEA Games, the Philippines finally struck gold thanks to the impressive performance delivered by the Sibol National Team’s female Wild Rift squad. However, the journey is far from over as there are still more opportunities for the Philippines' teams to aim for a Gold medal in the biannual event.
