Gen.G Esports enters MLBB with all-women roster ahead of Women's Invitational 2026

Gen.G Esports is the latest organisation to enter the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang competitive scene with the signing of a women’s team.

The South Korean org has signed the majority of the former Gaimin Gladiators roster, and the players will debut under its banner with the goal of qualifying for the MLBB Women’s Invitational 2026.

Here is the complete lineup for Gen.G Esports along with their in-game roles:

• Sharifah "Aria" Fakrrurozi – EXP Lane
• Vebi "Ruii" Febrian – Jungler
• Jessica "Sayori" Cao – Middle
• Cindy "Panda1" Zhou – Gold Lane
• Ashley "Ashlay" Ann – Roamer

The organisation hasn’t announced the coaching staff at the moment; however, we can expect an update in the coming weeks.

While the team is fairly young, the players finished as runners-up in the previous edition of the MLBB Women’s Invitational, except Ruii, who secured third place at MWI 2025 with Terror Queens.

Moreover, Aria was also the winner of the 33rd SEA Games Women’s Tournament, while Ashlay and Panda1 reached the playoffs of the 2024 MWI.

MLBB Women’s Invitational 2026 Schedule and Format

MWI joined the tournament lineup of the Esports World Cup in 2026 and will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

From July 13 to 17, the 16 best MLBB teams from across the world will compete in the Group Stage and Playoffs for the trophy and a $500,000 prize pool.

The squads will be split into two equal groups in the Group Stage, featuring double-elimination brackets, with the top eight teams advancing to the double-elimination Playoffs.

Since Team Vitality won the 2025 MWI, it has been directly invited to this year’s event, while Galaxy Phoenix has already secured its slot.

The event will be streamed live on MLBB Esports’ Twitch and YouTube channels.
