Mobile Legends Philippines Athena Cup
Athena Cup is an annual all-female Mobile Legends Philippine tournament series organized by CBZN Perspective in partnership with Moonton Games. These tournaments serve as the official Philippine qualifiers for the annual Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational (MWI), which has been held at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, since 2024.
The first season's tournament was originally called "Athena League" before it was rebranded to Athena Cup in season 2.

The tournament series started in 2025, when Moonton Games partnered with CBZN Perspective to organize the league as the official Philippine qualifiers for the MWI. [1] Moonton Games previously partnered with the organization SILAB for the 2024 Philippine qualifiers for the MWI.
