Team Vitality’s entry to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang pro scene comes with a shocker as they acquire the world’s best female MLBB pro team from Bigetron Era.
In an announcement posted on its website May 13th, Team Vitality announced they are entering the MLBB scene by acquiring roamer Vivian “Vivi” Indrawaty, Venny “Fumi” Lim, Viorelle “Vival” Chen, and the sister duo of Cindy “Cinny” Siswanto and Michelle “Chel” Siswanto.
Ilham “Susugajah” Hadi will suit up for Team Vitality MLBB as its head coach, being assisted by Dewa “Dewa” Fabian.
Fabien “Neo” Devide, co-founder and Chairman of Team Vitality, said in a statement, “We are thrilled to announce the integration of Bigetron Era into Team Vitality, marking a significant strategic move for us. It’s an immense honor to welcome one of the world’s premier teams, regardless of gender, into our family. This partnership primes us for success at the Esports World Cup, and also presents a golden opportunity to make waves in key markets like Indonesia and mobile gaming. Team Vitality is committed to promoting women’s esports, and we’re honored to support and collaborate with such a talented team.”
Team Vitality adds that they were invited by MOONTON Games to take part in the MLBB Development League or MDL Season 10.
“As the first women’s team to join the MPL ecosystem, this development remains close to the French esports club’s heart, elevating the position of their second women’s roster and marking a step forward in women’s esports,” Team Vitality said in their statement.
Since its formation in 2021, the former Bigetron Era won different women’s tournaments in Indonesia, and has also held back-to-back MLBB Women’s Invitational titles in 2022 and 2023.
They have also won every single Women Star League or WSL MLBB tournament in Indonesia since Season 3 in 2021, including Season 8 earlier this year.
This is the second all-female acquisition by the French esports club, the other being the Rising Bees, which is their all-female League of Legends roster.
“Like the Rising Bees, the League of Legends women’s roster, Team Vitality is continuing to develop women’s esports by integrating talented players such as this new roster. Team Vitality hopes to develop and empower young women everywhere to take an interest or a career in gaming and esports,” Team Vitality said.
