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.

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 had also previously signed advertising partnerships with GroupM and Admazing Co., as well as a content creator monetisation partnership with Bent Pixels Asia.
