The Philippine national esports team will hold qualifiers for three esports titles, including CrossFire, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Wild Rift (men's and women's division). Meanwhile, the top teams in the PUBG Mobile Pro League Season 5 will be in consideration for Sibol.
League of Legends: Wild Rift is one of the 8 esports titles to be played in the SEA Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, which will be held in May 2022.
SEA Games 2019 introduced esports as an official medal event. However, Wild Rift is not yet released at that time. Thus, it will be the first time the mobile MOBA to be included in the biennial regional multi-sport event.
