Asked what the success would mean to women in local esports scene, Gwyneth "Ayanami" Diagon said she hopes this would inspire more players and eventually they would join tournaments.

"I hope to inspire more players to upscale their playing skills, I hope na ma-open up pa po 'yung more opportunities ng tournaments, lalo na on-site events. Kasi du'n po talaga nagma-matter 'yung totoong laro," Ayanami said.

The team's chief marketing officer, Froi Joshua Endaya, is wishful that this victory would lead to more female teams joining the competitive arena.

On a business standpoint, he even asserted that creating women's teams "is worth an investment."

"Hopefully this triggers more teams, more organizations, more people to fill in female esports players kasi ang laking impact nito sa kababaihan pati sa bansa natin," Endaya said.

"I really think na it's really worth an investment to create so many teams and hopefully magkaroon talaga ng professional league for female teams," he added.

Omega Empress took home a promising share of the prize pool worth $180,000 or around P10.5 million after winning the tournament, which could also be additional incentive to amateur players who would venture into becoming professional players.
