Cinny and Chell have spent years at the heart of one of the most stable lineups in women’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Their latest milestone came at the MLBB Women’s International 2026 in Paris, where Team Vitality defeated NAVI 4-2 in the grand final to retain the championship.

It was Vitality’s second consecutive MWI victory and the fourth title won by the Indonesian core that existed long before the players joined the French organisation. Cindy «Cinny» Siswanto and Michelle «Chell» Siswanto have been central to that journey, spending much of their professional careers together while turning the familiarity of a lifelong relationship into an asset inside a highly structured competitive team.

From Bigetron Era to Team Vitality

Cinny and Chell joined Bigetron Era in 2021 and became part of a lineup that would eventually establish itself as the benchmark for women’s MLBB in Indonesia.

Together with players including Vival and Vivian, the sisters helped Bigetron build an international record few teams on the women’s circuit could match.

Bigetron Era won consecutive MWI championships in 2022 and 2023, with the roster putting together a lengthy unbeaten international run in the process.

The next major change arrived in May 2024, when Team Vitality signed the Bigetron Era lineup. Cinny, Chell, Fumi, Vival and Vivian all moved under the banner of the French organisation.

The name changed, but the defining feature of the team did not.

Vitality had acquired a lineup whose players already understood each other’s tendencies after years of competing together – something particularly valuable in an esports environment where roster changes can happen after a single disappointing season.

Few relationships illustrate that continuity better than the one between Cinny and Chell.

Two sisters, two very different jobs

Being sisters has never meant performing identical roles.

Chell operates in the Gold Lane, a position heavily dependent on efficient farming, positioning and delivering damage during decisive stages of a game.

Cinny plays Mid Lane and has also taken responsibility within Vitality’s communication and shotcalling structure. Her role naturally puts her closer to the centre of rotations and the decisions that dictate the pace of a match.

The sisters have explained that years spent together make reading one another considerably easier. Familiarity with each other’s habits and decision-making can sometimes reduce how much needs to be said in the middle of a hectic team fight.

That relationship does not remove accountability.

Cinny has described the competitive environment as one where Chell is treated like any other teammate when reviewing mistakes. Family ties remain outside the server when decisions need to be evaluated.

That combination – familiarity without preferential treatment – has become one of the more distinctive elements of Vitality’s long-standing lineup.

Esports was not always the obvious career

For Cinny and Chell, professional Mobile Legends did not begin as a carefully designed career path.

Gaming came first, followed by competition.

Their family initially had understandable reservations about whether esports could provide a sustainable future, particularly at a time when the professional ecosystem was considerably less established than it is now.

The sisters had to balance education with competition and demonstrate that pursuing tournaments did not necessarily mean abandoning everything outside the game.

Results eventually changed the conversation.

What began with local competition developed into repeated appearances on the largest international stage available to women’s MLBB, with both players becoming members of the most decorated core in MWI history.

The 2024 defeat that ended the streak

Vitality’s record has not been uninterrupted.

MWI 2024 produced one of the most significant defeats in the history of the lineup.

Vitality entered the final against Smart Omega Empress but lost the series 0-3. The Philippine side brought an end to a 24-match international winning streak that Vitality’s Indonesian core had maintained since 2021.

Two years later, the rivalry returned with different names attached.

The Philippine core was now representing NAVI, while the Indonesians remained under Team Vitality.

This time, Vitality won 4-2.

Back-to-back champions in Paris

MWI 2026 was held in Paris from July 14-18 and featured 16 teams.

Vitality began the tournament with 2-0 group-stage victories over MIBR.LOS and Gen.G. Their playoff campaign then included a 2-1 win over Falcons Vega followed by a 3-1 semifinal victory against Geltek Cyber Team.

NAVI stood between them and another championship.

The grand final went six games before Vitality closed the series 4-2, securing $150,000 in prize money and 1,000 points toward the Esports World Cup Club Championship.

Jungler Viorelle «Vival» Chen received the Finals MVP award, her second such honour at MWI after previously earning it in 2022.

It was another reminder that Vitality’s success is difficult to attribute to a single star. The team’s advantage has repeatedly come from a system built around players who have spent years learning how to operate together.

Four MWI titles across two organisations

Looking beyond the Team Vitality name makes the longevity of the lineup even clearer.

The Indonesian core won MWI in 2022 and 2023 as Bigetron Era. After joining Vitality, it finished runner-up in 2024 before reclaiming the championship in 2025 with a 4-0 victory over Gaimin Gladiators.

Vitality successfully defended that title in 2026.

That gives the same competitive core four MWI championships across five editions of the event.

Cinny and Chell were involved in all four.

Their significance therefore extends beyond individual statistics or a single grand final. The sisters have been present throughout a period in which women’s MLBB has developed a larger international calendar, greater prize money and a broader global audience.

From competitors to recognisable faces of women’s MLBB

The sisters’ profile has also expanded beyond tournaments.

Cinny and Chell have appeared in documentary coverage surrounding the Esports World Cup, offering a look at the personal challenges behind a professional career that fans usually experience only through tournament broadcasts.

Their story reflects the wider development of women’s Mobile Legends.

Early in their careers, they still had to convince people close to them that esports could become a serious pursuit. Years later, they are competing on international stages as part of a roster whose results have helped define the standard for the women’s game.

For the sisters, that visibility carries significance beyond trophies. Their career provides a tangible example for younger female players who may be considering whether there is a path from playing MLBB at home to competing internationally.

Continuity remains Vitality’s biggest strength

It is difficult to separate the success of Cinny and Chell from the continuity surrounding them.

Fumi, Vival, Cinny, Chell and Vivian all moved to Team Vitality together in May 2024, and most had already shared significant competitive history before the transfer. Cinny and Chell themselves have now spent more than five years competing alongside one another professionally.

That makes the MWI 2026 championship less the beginning of something new and more another chapter in a dynasty that has already survived different organisations, opponents and versions of the competitive meta.

Vitality once again leaves MWI as the team the rest of the women’s scene has to catch.

For Cinny and Chell, four championships have already answered the question of whether two sisters can reach the highest level together. The more compelling question now is how much longer this lineup can remain the standard against which everyone else is measured.
