Gaming shaped Suzzane Ezra Gubatan’s life. It connected her with her family, introduced her to her husband, and led her to become the CEO of one of Asia’s leading gaming agencies.
Now 30, she is the CEO of Rumble Royale, a creative agency that works with some of Asia’s top gaming brands on content, events, and production. Despite her busy schedule as a wife, mother of two, and business leader, Suzzysaur (her online moniker) continues to create online content that mirrors her journey from gamer to entrepreneur.
Her streaming career began in high school in 2013. “Back then, I was just a schoolgirl trying to find a way to help my family financially. I never imagined it would become a career,” she said.
From family pastime to profession
“My dad was the original gamer. He played PC games like Resident Evil,” she recalled. Soon, she and her siblings joined in, spending hours together on League of Legends. “That’s how our bond as a family really formed.”
During a League of Legends tournament in Los Angeles, she met her future husband, professional gamer Eric Allen “Exosen” Gubatan, while representing the Philippines as an influencer.
“We clicked right away,” she said. The couple now lives in Quezon City with their two daughters.
Their home doubles as both a family space and a gaming hub. Suzzane manages Rumble Royale, while Exosen coaches esports players. Their children also stream educational content.
Suzzane credits their reliable internet connection for keeping both her business and family connected.
“PLDT Home Fiber is the key to keeping everything running smoothly,” she said. Their home even served as a backup training base for her husband’s professional gaming team. “Five or six players would train here, and even with all that going on, my uploads stayed smooth. That’s why I know PLDT Home Fiber is worth it.”
She added that her entire family shares the same passion. “My dad still plays mobile games when he visits, my sisters are into Valorant, and my husband and I have our own setups in separate rooms because we both have meetings and streams. I’ve tried other providers, but PLDT Home is the most reliable. As a content creator and mom, that kind of support matters.”
Balancing gaming and motherhood
Motherhood has not slowed her down—instead, it has reshaped her perspective and content.
“There’s no perfect balance,” she said. “Some days I lead meetings with my toddler on my lap. Other days, I’m streaming with no sleep. But this is the life I chose, and I love it.”
Her content has evolved alongside her audience, many of whom now have families of their own. She began sharing more glimpses of her daily life—the humor, chaos, and warmth that come with motherhood. Her four-year-old daughter uses gamified learning apps and has become expressive and curious at a young age.
Beyond gaming, Suzzane extends her compassion to others through small acts of kindness, including donating breast milk to infants whose mothers did not survive childbirth.
Leading with heart
At Rumble Royale, Suzzane continues to foster a sense of community. “We started as a group of people playing together. Now it’s a full agency offering event production, talent management, and content creation,” she said. “But at its core, it’s still about creating safe, joyful spaces for gamers.”
For Suzzane, success is not measured by viral content. “Success is being able to wake up and do what I love while being present for my kids. It’s connecting with people who want to feel seen, inspired, or entertained. That’s enough for me.”
She also hopes to inspire the next generation of female gamers. “You don’t have to be toxic to be competitive. You don’t have to curse or be loud to be relevant. There’s space for kindness in gaming. There’s space for women, moms, and every kind of player.”
