Like the previous 3 Southeast Asian Games, Esports continued to be calculated as a medal like other traditional sports. However, the number of subjects of Esports at the SEA Games 33 has been shortened to 4 subjects, of which 3 subjects are considered to be the strength of the Thai host.
– Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: Male content and female content
– Lien Quan Mobile: Male content and female content
– Free Fire: Team content
– Ea Sports FC Online: Team content
This is the SEA Games that Esports has the least subject. Accordingly, familiar subjects at the previous SEA Games such as PUBG Mobile, Raid will not appear at this congress. However, the first Lien Lien Mobile will have the content for women for the first time.
Earlier, Vietnam as the host country, successfully pioneered the electronic sports movement for women at the 31st SEA Games with the League of Legends: The battle speed and continued to diversify the content of women's competition in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang at SEA Games 32 held in Cambodia.
SEA Games 33 is scheduled to take place in December 2025 in Thailand with 11 countries attending. Electronic sports are one of 50 sports selected to compete in medals.
