Maru Gamerpact Esports, the Philippine representative at the MLBB x OPPO Smooth Legend Cup APAC Grand Finals, were named the Grassroots Team Champions after defeating five other national champion teams from Southeast Asia.
Maru Gamerpact Esports made the Philippines proud with their triumph over 882 registered teams. As MLBB’s largest cross-regional grassroots tournament, the event provided a vital platform for empowering emerging talent to pursue their esports aspirations.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Development League (MDL) Philippines officially announces its first-ever regional qualifier event hosted in the country's major islands Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Mounted in partnership with Mineski Global, the regional tournament aims to expand its reach further to discover more local talents from different parts of the country to join the upcoming MDL Philippines Season 4.
With the theme, "Ang Unang Hakbang," the campaign aims to help aspiring MLBB players nationwide take their first steps to become part of the professional scene through competitive amateur tournaments held in major locations outside Metro Manila.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Women's Invitational (MWI) 2024 officially announces the Group Stage schedule for the upcoming biggest MLBB esports tournament for women. Held in conjunction with the maiden Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, MWI 2024 gathers 12 international teams to showcase their gaming prowess to the world, starting 24 July, at 12:00 (GMT+3) or 17:00 (GMT+8).
The tournament will provide female players with the platform to claim the title of the best all-women MLBB team, and offers a life-changing prize pool of USD 500,000 – one of the highest-ever in women's esports history. The opener will feature Indonesia's Team Falcons Vega (FLCV) and Cambodia's CFUSerendipity (CFU).
FLCV (formerly GPX Basreng) is considered the biggest threat to Team Vitality (VIT), the team that is currently dominating the scene. Being the second-best team in Indonesia, FLCV is arguably the hungriest team to snatch the title this year. Their prolific roster will have a faceoff with CFU to be fielded by its promising players, including its jungler Rin “Tegami” Chanthana, popular for her fatal Lancelot. The team is not to be underestimated as they are known to bounce back from adversity, as seen in their qualifiers match, where they successfully reached the grand finals of the Cambodia qualifier from the lower bracket and bested 20 Khmer teams.
The Wild Card Stage runs from 28 to 30 June, and the opener will feature Keep Best Gaming (KBG) and S2G Esports (S2G) on 28 June, at 11:00 (GMT +3) in a Best-of-One (BO1) series.
KBG were part of the M5 World Championship Wild Card in Malaysia last November, but wil make their return with a revamped roster. This Wild Card challenger will duke it out against S2G from Turkey. See below for the detailed tournament schedule:
