Play Like a PRO: OhMyV33nus on being an LGBTQ+ pro player in esport
More recently, homegrown athletes started to dominate their respective esports leagues. Among such athletes is top MLBB player Jonmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna. Playing for Blacklist International, OhMyV33nus went against all odds to become one of the most successful Filipino esports players today.
Like most esports athletes, OhMyV33nus’ love for the sport started when she was still a kid. Growing up on PC games, with a particular interest in MMORPG and MOBA, OhMyV33nus decided early to become a part of the local esports community.
“Since I was a child, my dream has always been as simple as playing for a team,” OhMyV33nus shared. “Before, I just used to watch a lot of League of Legends international tournaments. Watching their struggles and winning moments motivated me to become who I am today and inspired me long before esports became popular in the Philippines,” she added.
With her own share of struggles and heartbreaks, OhMyV33nus admits that it has not been an easy journey. She was a product of a decade of wins and losses — and after winning the MLBB M3 World Championships as the mid laner of her team, OhMyV33nus is now an international esports champion. With this success, OhMyV33nus serves as an inspiration for a new generation of Filipino gamers — particularly those who are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
To all aspiring LGBTQ+ esports players, OhMyV33nus shares this piece of advice, “Becoming a professional esports athlete requires intense physical and mental preparations and this sport transcends all those defining factors that we normally see in other sports — height, race, social status, and sexuality is irrelevant in this field. Don’t let anyone look down on you just because of your gender or sexuality.”

·
Love it: three-day

·
Trust it: twice
as many security updates as competition[i]
· Keep it: brand new design with legacy durability and freshness for years thanks to regular updates
HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announces the newest member of the G-series family, the Nokia G21. Challenging affordable smartphones, it comes with an impressive three-day battery life and 50 percent[ii] better display refresh for an extra smooth experience.
Sancho
Chak, general manager for Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand, HMD Global:
“Our
mission from day one has been to make quality mobile technology accessible to
everyone around the world. Since we introduced the G-series globally and in the
Philippines last year, we’ve enhanced each new addition that has followed in
every way[iii] - the Nokia G21 encompasses all our hard
work. And not only today, but for years to come thanks to our regular software
updates and quality materials. We believe in connecting the world without
costing the earth. We want to empower Filipinos to
feel good about keeping their smartphone for longer and combat the upgrade
culture so we can all reduce our carbon
footprint.”

protection for mobile technology that lasts for longer
Three years of
monthly security updates and offering more updates than most smartphones in
this price range means the Nokia G21 will work seamlessly in the background to
protect users, so they can go about the day worry-free.

Users can even choose where exactly the energy savings are made, so they can still access key features that are needed. The Nokia G21 allows this feature to be switched on at 20 percent, rather than waiting until the battery dips down to 10 percent, as per the standard Android solution, enabling users to prolong it even further. When the time to fuel up arrives, 18W fast charging ensures users won’t have to wait long to get going again.
Fast
response for increased productivity and immersive entertainment
Unlocking the
power of 90Hz for the first time in G-series, the improved refresh rate makes
scrolling and typing even more fluid, and photos look smoother. From reading
the news to drafting emails, the improved response to touch brings an even more
seamless experience. For the first time, users can now stream Netflix in HD
making for optimum streaming of all the fan favourite movies and TV shows
on-the-go on the Nokia G21.

all-new design, the Nokia G21 is thinner and more ergonomic. Made from tough
polycarbonate, the new design honours the durability and Nordic excellence one
can expect from a Nokia phone whilst bringing a refreshed look to the range. For
extra peace of mind, the Nokia G21 Clear Case will show off the phone’s beauty.
