JAKARTA - The women's esports tournament MLBB Women's Invitational' by INCIR and MOONTON Games proves that the development of esports in Indonesia, especially the ladies gamers, is very rapidly growing.

Seeing Bigerton Era's unbeaten women's team with two consecutive wins in the 2022 and 2023 MWI events also proved that female players have a mentality that is equal to men's players in general.

The Indonesian Esports Executive Board (PBESI) has the view that female players will be ready to participate in other major matches such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL).

They said they were ready. Yesterday I talked to BTR and they said they were ready to enter the MPL. Because they also stream each time the opponents are male teams, not girls anymore," said the Special Staff of the Secretary General of PB Esports Indonesia (PBESI), Rachel Imanuella to VOI after the 2023 MWI final match on February 12 in Bekasi.

He also said that the ladies gamers were a big contribution to the development of the gaming market in Indonesia. Based on the data he got, female gamers contributed 50 percent of the population in Indonesia.

"Because the population (Indonesian society) is really big, then gen z is very exposed to technology, right. Especially with the mobile game era. One of the things that can increase it is the emergence of female players. Female gamers is one of the biggest contributions," he said.

That's why PBESI always says that the contribution of the film gamers is very important to the growth of the esports ecosystem in Indonesia. So if the data is from GWI, that's the composition of women's and men's players for casual gamers (including candy crushing, etc.) that's crazy. But for hardcore games, Mobile Legends, it's around 35-65. That's big, really big," continued Debora.
