The spotlight this weekend is on the women’s side as the MLBB Invitational 2024 – Philippine qualifiers get underway.
One of the most intriguing stories emerging from the women’s MLBB scene is that of ONIC Zol’s exp laner, Allysa “Atty. Ang” Ang, who incorporates her dream of obtaining a law degree into her gaming name, which she has been using since 2017.
“Pangarap ko talaga maging abogado. Sa ML, yung anime ang inspirasyon ng una kong gaming name, pero marami nang gumamit ng ganun,” Atty. Ang shared with Tiebreaker Times in an exclusive interview.
“Noong panahon na iyon, uso ang may ‘doc’ sa pangalan. Since gusto kong maging abogado, ito na ang gaming name ko mula noon.”
She is a graduating Criminology student at St. Jude Catholic School in Manila. Later, she plans to pursue her law degree after completing the Snapdragon Pro Series Women’s League and the Sibol qualifiers in mid-2024.
Atty. Ang has been using her name since 2017, when she was still teammates with RSG Philippines head coach Brian “Panda” Lim and former Bren Esports roamer Allan “Lusty” Castromayor Jr.
Due to the uniqueness of her name, she receives requests for legal advice from various people on her social media channels.
“May isang beses na may nag-chat sa page ko, para humingi ng legal advice. Marami talagang nagme-message sa akin tungkol diyan. Ako naman, siyempre nagbibigay ako ng solusyon, pero sinasabi ko sa kanila na kumonsulta pa rin sila sa isang tunay na abogado,” she explained.
“Alam ko lang ang kaya kong ibigay, pero hindi ako pwedeng magdesisyon para sa kanila.”
The 23-year-old exp laner shared her plans to pursue her law degree while continuing her career in esports, citing her experience in managing multiple commitments in the past.
She currently operates a few Grab Car and Joyride units while competing for ONIC Zol in the female professional MLBB scene.
“Dati pa akong nagpapakahirap na isabay ang negosyo, pag-aaral, at esports career ko. Ang kailangan lang talaga ay tamang pagtugon sa oras. Kaya naman talaga ito basta’t may determinasyon ka,” she concluded.
