Manila, Philippines – Alodia Gosiengfiao, one of the co-founders of SEA-centric esports and video gaming-oriented entertainment agency Tier One Entertainment, has announced her departure from the agency. At the time of this writing, she has been with the agency for over six years.
In a Facebook post, she stated that her departure from Tier One Entertainment was due to their visions and values not being aligned. Despite this, she has stated that the journey she has shared with the company has been both challenging and rewarding.
“I am grateful for the experiences, relationships, and accomplishments we’ve achieved together,” she stated.
Meanwhile, a separate post from Tier One Entertainment stated that they all wish her the best in the next chapter and hope she finds a new endeavour.
“There is no reality where Tier One Entertainment would have reached the heights we have reached without you. You are an unwavering beacon of excellence and continue to be an inspiration to cosplayers, content creators, and our industry as a whole. we are truly grateful for the time and dedication you have given us over the years. In the Philippines and around the world, you are undeniably one of one,” the company stated.
Tier One Entertainment was founded alongside Gosiengfiao, esports player Tryke Gutierrez and entrepreneur Brian Lim back in 2017. It received funding from Warner Music Group and Gobi Partners back in April 2021, with some of the funding used to expand to the Japanese market in October that year. It had also previously signed advertising partnerships with GroupM and Admazing Co., as well as a content creator monetisation partnership with Bent Pixels Asia.
Gosiengfiao’s departure from the company comes recently after Tier One teased its ‘Esports Arena’ as part of its e-sports school course partnership with Lyceum of the Philippines. Other recent ventures by the company include a Web3 incubator programme ‘ALLIANCE‘, and its merchandise brand BLCKBOX, with a brick-and-mortar store launched in December last year.
