Mineski Global, commonly known as Mineski, is an esports organization established in December 2009 in the Philippines. It is an offshoot of Mineski-DOTA team which was founded in 2004.
Mineski Global's roots is traced to the Mineski-DOTA esports team which was founded on February 14, 2004, by Filipino gamer Ronald Robins and his teammates in Manila, Philippines.[1] [2] The team competed in various domestic and international competitions including the World Cyber Games.[3]
In 2008, Mineski opened the first outlet of its Mineski Infinity internet café chain.[4] In December 2009, shortly after Robins retired, Robins and his former teammates went on to establish Mineski as a company to manage Mineski Infinity.[3] It also started from organizing localized esports competitions hosted in its internet cafes to holding international esports tournaments.[5]
The esports company eventually expanded to establish presence in Indonesia and Thailand. In June 2019, Mineski inaugurated its new corporate headquarters in San Juan, Metro Manila.[2]
In April 2021, the Philippine government's regulatory body for professional sports Games and Amusements Board (GAB) issued a show-cause order against Mineski for holding esports tournaments with GAB's sanction.[6] Mineski in response assured the public that it is cooperating with GAB regarding the matter.[7]
Mineski Global has five divisions namely:[2]
In February 2020, Mineski entered a partnership agreement with the Philippine Collegiate Champions League in a bid to develop a school-based esports program.[8]
