Charize “Yugen” Doble, Gianna “Jeeya” Llanes, Christine “Ray Ray” Natividad, Rose Ann “Hell Girl” Robles, and Angel Danica “Angelailaila” Lozada are Sibol&#x27;s first women medalists in the SEA Games, since the biennial meet included esports in 2019. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">FINAL: GrindSky Eris takes PH&#x27;s first esports gold in the 31st SEA Games after sweeping Singapore in the gold medal match! They are PH&#x27;s first women medalists in SEA Games esports since its inclusion in the multi-sport competition. | <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsSport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ABSCBNNewsSport</a>— Angela Coloma (@mac_coloma) <a href="https://twitter.com/mac_coloma/status/1526934036996038656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 18, 2022</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div>As Singapore looked to force a Game 4, Doble eked out a quadra kill to erase their opponents&#x27; gold lead and help the squad get back in the game. Singapore stole the Baron Nashor in an attempt to turn around the game, but it was not enough, as another team fight win in the 22nd minute became the key for the Filipina squad to finally destroy Singapore&#x27;s Nexus and secure the SEA Games gold medal. Singapore will take home the silver medal as a result, while Thailand will take home bronze, after defeating hosts Thailand in the bronze medal match. This is the first overall medal for Sibol in this year&#x27;s edition of the biennial meet, after the FreeFire, men&#x27;s Wild Rift, PUBG (individual) and FIFA Online 4 squads failed their medal bids last week. Before entering the Grand Finals, the Philippines dismantled Thailand, 3-1, in the semifinals, weathering through the Thai&#x27;s early game scares to emerge finalists. They also swept the group stages with four unanswered wins against all the competing teams. The all-women&#x27;s Wild Rift team is considered a powerhouse in the sub-region, having been crowned defending champions of the Southeast Asia Esports Championship 2021 Wild Rift Women’s Tournament held last January. GrindSky Eris are the lone Filipina esports contingents in the SEA Games, taking the slot in the national team after defeating GGTY in the grand finals of the Sibol national team qualifiers. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/03/17/22/grindsky-eris-proud-to-be-lone-pinay-squad-in-sibol">Wild Rift: GrindSky Eris feel &#x27;sense of pride&#x27; as lone Pinay squad in Sibol</a></li></ul>Their male counterparts in the SEA Games, LF Adoption, failed to make it into the semifinals of their own tournament. This is also the first time the SEA Games included the title in the biennial tilt, since the pilot tournament was held in the Philippines in 2019.
