Women’s esports in the Philippines continues to grow, and one of the country’s most exciting grassroots tournaments is back. Athena Cup Season 2 has officially opened registration for an all-female competition centered on Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, giving aspiring players another chance to compete on a national stage.
Organized in Manila, the tournament officially opened registration on March 22, 2026, inviting female gamers from across the Philippines to sign up and showcase their skills in one of the world’s most popular mobile esports titles.
Athena Cup Season 2 Aims to Empower Women in Esports
The tournament, organized by CBNZ Perspective, returns after a successful first season and continues its mission of supporting women in competitive gaming.
Athena Cup Season 2 is more than just another MLBB tournament. It’s designed to create a competitive platform where female players can:
- Showcase their skills in a high-level tournament setting

- Compete for the opportunity to represent the Philippines internationally
With the campaign theme “Forging Her Legacy – Where She Dares to Dream, Conquer, and Soar,” the event highlights the growing presence of women in esports and encourages more female players to step into the competitive scene.
A Path Toward International Competition
One of the biggest incentives for joining the tournament is the opportunity to advance to a global stage. The winning team of Athena Cup Season 2 will earn a chance to move forward toward the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women’s Invitational (MWI), one of the most recognized women’s competitions in the MLBB esports scene.
For many players, this could be a major stepping stone toward professional esports careers, especially as women’s tournaments continue to gain more recognition globally.
