HOW THE WORLD OF CYBERSPORTS STARTED: THE WORLD OF ESPORTS

       Since the beginning of computer gaming, eSports have grown in popularity in numerous nations throughout the world. Prize money has increased dramatically, events are growing every year, and even eSports gambling is now possible. But how did it all begin? How did it impact the course of technology history? Many people may not be aware of the history of eSports, yet from a small niche, it has grown into a multi-media sector worth billions of dollars that are currently attracting many investors. If you believe that eSports is a modern development, you are mistaken.

     The first competition resembling eSports wouldn’t take place for a few more years. , a computer scientist, and a few other members of the “Tech Model Railroad Club” at MIT already created the space game “Spacewar!” in 1962 on a PDP-10 computer.

      Two players compete against one another while controlling a single spaceship. It’s interesting to note that the spacecraft already had a finite amount of fuel and ammo and had to battle a planet’s gravitational pull. Most sources state that this was the first official video game that held a tournament on October 19, 1972, at Stanford University. At that event, participants were asked to participate in a space warfare game.

     It is considered the first digital computer game ever created and was developed on a PDP-10 computer. The New York Times listed it as one of the top ten computer games of all time.   A one-year subscription to Rolling Stone magazine was the top prize, which encouraged 24 contestants to join the competition.

     The eSports tournaments gained popularity in the 1980s. More than 10,000 people participated in the Space Invaders Championship, which helped video games emerge from the shadows. Years later, it became apparent that networks and PCs would be the future of competitive gaming. PCs attracted interest from private families and the games industry as hardware got more affordable and powerful. The first sizable LAN parties where gamers could compete began in the middle of the 1990s. Network gaming, however, exercised an ever-increasing attraction not just on a large scale, but particularly on a small scale. At local network gatherings, an increasing number of players played their favorite games together.

       Video gaming competitions and organized events are referred to as eSports, electronic sports, e-Sports, and e-games. Professional players frequently engage in it in the guise of a multiplayer video game, either alone or in teams. For a monetary incentive and the chance to fight for the top ranks in their game of choice, professional gamers are continually pitted against one another in tournaments. Millions of fans worldwide watch as several leagues or teams compete as a live event is aired on television or the internet. Video game fans may watch their favorite players compete live on streaming sites like Twitch, Mixer, YouTube Gaming, and Facebook Gaming. This encourages players to cultivate fan bases and expand their fan bases. Mobile Legends, one of the nation’s most well-liked Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Games (MOBA) titles, dominated the gaming market in April 2019 with 2.65 million daily users.  The scale of its fanbase and preference for other MOBA games make the Philippine eSports market exceptional, despite its modest level of worldwide success. However, the neighborhood gaming scene as a whole is not very enthusiastic about sponsoring local esports leagues. The Philippines’ gaming industry has failed to achieve widespread, long-term success. Under the auspices of the Philippine Games and Amusement Board and the Office of the President, the Philippine government formally recognized eSports as a genuine sport in the country in 2017. Professional eSports athletes are now able to get sporting licenses, giving them more flexibility to compete and represent their nation abroad.

      Since the beginning of the previous decade, the Philippines has been well-represented in the esports industry. Despite having few international awards, it is an important esports nation due to the size of its market and fanbase. Esports were recognized as a genuine sport in the Philippines by the Philippine Games and Amusement Board (PGAB), which is part of the President’s Office, in 2017. 

Bren eSport was the champion on mobile legend in the M2 world championship the representative Members are David Charles (Flaptyz), Allan “Lusty” Castromayor(Lusty), Carlito “Ribo” Jr(Ribo),Arcangel, Angelo Kyle (Pheww), and Karl Gabrie (karltzy) their MVPs. On January 23, 2021, Bren Esports were the champions for the M2 World Championships held in Singapore, winning against Burmese Ghouls 4 games to 3. Bren esports was Founded on 16 August 2017; 5 years ago there from Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines the Owner of Bren esports was Bernard “Bren ” Chong.

       Bren’s current worst season is Season 8. They lost constantly in the early going, and despite regrouping, they were never able to secure a spot in the Playoffs and continued to be in limbo alongside TNC Pro Team. 

      While Ribo took a hiatus after 8 seasons of competition in the MPL-PH, KarlTzy, the jungler and MVP of the M2 World Championship, left the squad and was subsequently acquired by Echo. They added rookies from ArkAngel, a dominant rookie team in the Philippines, to their roster in order to replace their two primary players. As a bonus, they also added Pauloxpert, the coach of SunSparks and Team Gosu, to help Duckey with their drafting. Their performance remained the same, though, as they were still unable to advance to the playoffs after losing against every team and only being able to exact revenge on TNC, BLCK, ONIC, and ECHO.  

The Sibol Women’s Wild Rift Squad is composed of members from Grind Sky Eris, one of the strongest all-female esports teams in the Philippines.

     The Grind Sky Eris is a Philippine esports organization, located at Eastwood Ave, Bagumbayan, Quezon City. It is the all female team of GrindSky Esports. The year saw a good start for women in esports as Philippine team Grind Sky Esports ruled the SEA eSports Championship 2021 Wild Rift Tournament, sweeping Thailand’s War Elephant, 3-0. The SEA eSports Championship, an annual eSports tournament for Southeast Asian teams, has been dubbed as a rehearsal for the upcoming 31st Southeast Asian Games set in Vietnam this May 2022. 

      Now the Team Nails Gold At 2022 SEA Games Grind Sky Esports dominated the tournament, completing a sweep of the tournament by not dropping a single game throughout the tournament. Team swept the competition with a near perfect tournament record en route to securing the Philippines’ first gold medal finish in the esports event of the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam on Wednesday. The Filipinas dropped only one game throughout the tournament to complete a dominating performance. They first swept the group stages to finish on top with a 4-0 card. They followed it up with a 3-1 win in the semi-finals across Thailand before completing the tournament conquest with a 3-0 sweep of Singapore in the Finals.
 
      This national team our proud champions real names and their in game name are Christine “RAY RAY” Natividad, Rose Ann “HELL GIRL” Robles, Charize “YUGEN” Doble, Giana “JEEYA” Llanes, April “AEAE” Sotto, and Angel “ANGELAILAILA” LOZADA. After all this happened SIBOL Women’s Wild Rift gold medalist Christine “Rayray” Natividad has announced her departure from GrindSky Eris and the esports scene last Tuesday, June 7, 2022. The reason behind her departure was not explicitly stated but we can only infer from her latest tweets and interactions that it was a combination of going to college and prioritizing her own mental health. With that said, GrindSky has yet to officially announce her departure on their social media pages but they did plug Rayray’s recently recovered Facebook page. The all-women’s Wild Rift team is considered a powerhouse in the sub-region, having been crowned defending champions of the Southeast Asia Esports Championship 2021 Wild Rift Women’s Tournament held last January. GrindSky Eris are the lone Filipina esports contingents in the SEA Games, taking the slot in the national team after defeating GGTY in the grand finals of the Sibol national team qualifiers. 
 
      Christine “Rayray” Natividad, who won the SIBOL Women’s Wild Rift gold medal, has announced her departure from GrindSky Eris and the esports industry as of last Tuesday, June 7, 2022. 

      Blacklist International (commonly referred to as BLCK) is a multi-gaming Organization based in the Philippines under Tier One Entertainment. Blacklist International has had the most constant success in the game throughout the history of the nation.

         Blacklist International represented the Philippines in the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup 2021 (MSC 2021). Blacklist International showed Southeast Asia through their UBE Strategy that the Philippines is one of the MLBB’s best regions. They won the Upper Bracket and a position in the grand finals after defeating all the other Southeast Asia Regions, falling just short against Execration, a Filipino team. Blacklist International recovered from their loss in the MSC 2021 to win the MPL PH 

 (Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines) Season 8 Championship, becoming the second team in MPL Philippines history to win consecutive championships and become the first Champions of the initial franchise league season. They maintained their momentum by winning the M3 World Championship. 

     Blacklist International MLBB roster finished first in the M3 World Championship of the 2021 Competitive Season organized by Moonton. They brought home a total of $300,000. The team members were Jonmar Villaluna (OhMyV33NUS), Danerie James Del Rosario (Wise), Dexter Louise Cruz Alaba (Dex Star), Mark Jayson Gerardo (ESON), Kiel Calvin Q. Soriano (OHEB), Salic Alauya Inam (Hadji), Edward Jay Dapadap (EDWARD) led by Coach Kristoffer Ed L. Ricaplaza (BON CHAN). They were able to defeat Onic in the Grand Finals with a score of 4-0, claiming the Philippines’ position as the world’s greatest MLBB nation and securing the title of greatest ML team.

      The M3 World Champions also bagged the MLBB SEA GAMES last May 2022 held at the Vietnam National Convention Center in Hanoi, Vietnam causing them to defend the MLBB crown once again. Many countries from southeast asia were able to join the event such as Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. However, the Team Sibol Blacklist International (Philippines) were able to beat Indonesia 3-1 in the finals.
