What Mineski does

Mineski (legal entity: Mineski.net, Inc.) is a Philippines-headquartered esports media and event organization company founded in 2004, operating across Southeast Asia with primary offices in Manila and tournament activity at venues including Le Pavillon and SMX Convention Center. The company's core platform is Mineski.net, an esports news and events website providing coverage of competitive gaming titles including Dota 2, League of Legends, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Overwatch, CS:GO, Hearthstone, and fighting games, with content dating back to 2016. Supporting the media property is Mineski Events Team, the operational arm that organizes and manages regional esports tournaments and qualifiers across Southeast Asia, and legacy utility tools such as Mineskeys+ (a hotkey remapping tool for DotA) and DotA Maps.

Mineski's business model is event-driven and operates across two reinforcing lines: (i) esports journalism and content distribution via Mineski.net, reaching consumers and amplifying the brand through media broadcast partnerships such as ABS-CBN Sports (MPL-PH Season 5 on S+A TV) and publisher relationships with Moonton (Mobile Legends: Bang Bang); and (ii) professional services revenue from tournament organization, qualifier production, and event management through Mineski Events Team. The company raised a $10.6 million Series A in September 2021, advised by Rocket Equities with participation from Endeavor Catalyst and Exacta Capital Partners, explicitly earmarked for expansion of esports and gamification technology across Southeast Asia. In 2026, the company co-launched the Moba Legends: 5v5! Master Series with Vizta Games as an Indian-team qualification route into the Esports World Cup 2026, signaling geographic expansion beyond its Philippines-centric base. The company is privately held, founder-controlled (co-founder Kenchi Yap identified), with no disclosed parent company, public listing, or additional institutional shareholders beyond the 2021 round.
