Filipino sports officials have listed esports as a proposed medal event for next year’s SEA games. So far, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang by Moonton is the only confirmed game, with an additional mobile title, and two each for PC and console, yet to be announced.

Esports’ presence at the 2019 SEA Games isn’t confirmed yet, however. The Asian Electronic Sports Federation (AESF) needs to submit a formal application for its inclusion by Dec. 7, Channel NewsAsia reports.

“The sportsmanship and fighting spirit seen in esports is no less than that of other sports, and we’ve fought hard for its inclusion in an international sporting event like the SEA Games 2019,” said Razer CEO Min Liang-Tan in a statement.

The SEA Games is an 11-country, biennial sporting event, regulated by the Southeast Asian Games Federation with the supervision of both the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). The AESF, recognized as esports’ governing authority for the region by the OCA, co-organized an esports demonstration event at this year’s Asian Games. It also intends to introduce gaming as a medal event at the 2022 games.

The SEA Games is set to host a record 56 events at next year’s competition. Unlike other Olympic-sanctioned competitions, there is no official limit on how many sports can be contested. This means that, aside from a handful of core sports, host nations are free to include or drop sports. For example, at the 2017 SEA Games, Malaysia introduced cricket, indoor hockey, and three Winter Olympic sports.
