32nd SEA Games Announced Its Esports Divisions

The 32nd SEA Games, which will be held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, has officially announced the list of esports game titles that will be competed on May 5-16, 2023. 

Announced through the Cambodia Esports Federation Facebook page, the National Organizing Committee for the 32 Southeast Asian Games 2023 (CAMST) revealed these information a few hours ago (7/9/22)

Consists of 5 game titles, they are divided into 9 Divisions:

  1. AK2 Online Solo
  2. AK2 Online Teams
  3. PUBG Mobile Solo
  4. PUBG Mobile Teams
  5. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Men
  6. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women
  7. League: Wild Rift – Men
  8. League: Wild Rift – Women
  9. Crossfire – PC

From the list above, only AK2 Online and Crossfire are PC games. Both titles are FPS games. Meanwhile, PUBG Mobile, MLBB and also LoL: Wild Rift are mobile games. Furthermore, AK2 Online and PUBG Mobile matches will be divided into solo and teams. 

As for MLBB, it will follow the LoL: Wild Rift format from the previous year's SEA Games which opened for men and women. This, of course, is a new history for the development of the female esports scene in the SEA region.

Following women-only tournaments such as the UniPin Ladies Series and the MWI, the women-only match numbers at the SEA Games will certainly increase the diversity and level of competition in the women's esports ecosystem.

While this is not the first for PUBG Mobile, MLBB, LoL: Wild Rift, and Cross Fire, the 32nd SEA Games in Phnom Penh, Cambodia will be AK2 Online's first debut in the major sporting event. 

Now that you know the titles and divisions that will be competed, which one are you looking forward to the most?
