PLDT mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. and international gaming developer and publisher MOONTON Games have teamed up for the 14th season of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League Philippines (MPL PH).
The tournament, themed “Heroes Within,” runs from August 16 to October 6.
Eight teams will battle it out for the $150,000 prize pool and a chance to represent the Philippines at the upcoming M6 World Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These teams include Blacklist International, Falcons APBren, Fnatic Onic, RSG Philippines, Smart Omega, Team Liquid Philippines, TNC Pro Team, and the newly formed AURORA.
Fans can expect a more intense and exciting season as MOONTON has announced the Open Global Transfer System, which enables mid-season transfers between MPL and MDL teams within the MLBB Esports ecosystem. This means MPL teams may also tap agent imports from other MPL regions, including free agents.
Moreover, teams will play two best-of-three (BO3) matches against seven other teams, and their ranking will be based on points. The lower bracket final has also been changed to a best-of-seven series to determine the strongest opponent for the Grand Finals.
As the official telco partner of MPL PH, Smart is also set to launch “MPL PH Smart Battle Trips,” which will give community heroes and student leaders a chance to watch the MPL matches live.
Fans can also anticipate “Smart Heroes Within,” a content series highlighting the exceptional performances and season statistics of the MPL players. This series aims to celebrate the skill, strategy, and dedication of the league’s top players, providing fans with an insider’s view of the numbers defining the season’s most impressive plays.
On the other hand, avid esports fans can watch the action-packed games live anytime and anywhere on the Smart Facebook page and Smart Livestream App.
