G2 Esports and Logitech G are set to host Logitech G PLAY 2025 on Wednesday, Sept. 17, marking the return of Logitech G’s annual flagship gaming event. Scheduled to begin at 6:45 p.m. CEST, the program will highlight innovation in gaming while addressing diversity, inclusion, and empowerment in esports.

The event will open with a keynote streamed on Logitech G’s YouTube channel. The presentation will focus on upcoming product designs, innovations for players, and the company’s outlook on the evolving esports landscape. Logitech G has used previous editions of the event to showcase hardware updates and its role in supporting professional and grassroots gaming.

Women in Esports Take the Spotlight

Following the keynote, G2 will lead a panel featuring prominent women in competitive gaming. Among the panelists are professional VALORANT players Michaela “mimi” Lintrup and Petra Stoker of G2 Gozen, content creator Athena “Kitty” Jiang, and on-air talent Laure Valée. The discussion, hosted by ChelseaBytes, will be broadcast live from G2’s Berlin headquarters on Lintrup’s Twitch channel.

The panel will explore defining career moments, challenges women continue to face in competitive esports, and pathways for creating a more inclusive environment. A live audience Q&A is also planned, offering fans and aspiring players the chance to engage directly with the panelists.

The conversation comes at a time when representation in esports remains an active discussion point. Women in the field have spoken openly about barriers ranging from accessibility to online harassment, and events like PLAY 2025 aim to elevate those voices and highlight progress.

G2 and Logitech G have emphasized that the event is designed to celebrate achievements while encouraging the next generation of players to pursue opportunities in esports. With professional players, creators, and community advocates on stage, organizers say the evening will not only showcase technological innovation but also reinforce the importance of diverse perspectives in shaping the future of gaming.
