Sydney 'KYōi' Wood made her debut into international competition at the 2025 BRICS Esports Championships, as hosted by the Russian Esports Federation (ReSF) in the Yota Esports Arena, in Moscow from 31 May 2025 to 1 June 2025.

Sydney 'KYōi' Wood was the only 'rose among the thorns', and in fact made history by being the only women to have ever played in a BRICS Esports Championships since its inception in 2023.

Of course Sydney expected no favours from the male athletes who were all out for the 'kill'.

Even in defeat, Sydney demonstrated her skill and great charm, and won over the hearts and minds of those against whom she played, officials, and the Russian media. In all games Sydney gave her best, and although having been beaten, Sydney was only narrowly beaten.

Sydney 'KYōi' Wood stated "The championship has been one of the best experiences I've had thus far. The gaming community, organisation of the tournament and all players were absolutely amazing. I'm also glad to have made a lot of friends in the short time we were here, which made everything more exciting! With this being my first international tournament, I plan to take everything I've learnt by putting it into practice and work hard for the next one! "

It  is clear that the 2025 BRICS championship has revealed Sydney's mettle as a top esports athlete!
