The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines (MPL-PH) is back this year for its MPL-PH Season 10 with the theme “LAKAS NA10 TO,” in celebration of the league’s success as one of the world’s largest and most dominant Mobile Legends: Bang Bang player base.
“In Season 10, we intend to look back to our successful runs with Filipino fans who have contributed to the growth of the league to what it is today. We will also commemorate our globally-competitive esports athletes and talents who have also become an inspiration to young, aspiring players, ” said Tonyo Silva, MPL Philippines senior marketing manager. “We thank our fans for their immense support and hope they like the different activities we prepared for them.”
The country is currently the most competitive nation in MLBB worldwide with the most number of global recognitions and victories such as MLBB Southeast Asia Cup titles – 3, SEA Games Gold Medals – 30th and 31st, and M World Championship – 2, under its wing. Recently, Filipino players and coaches were scouted and invited to join different teams from neighboring countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia, proving that the nation is the birthplace of strength in MLBB Esports.
