As M3 concluded their prestigious tournament, Blacklist International emerged as their champion, proving that Philippines Mobile Legends scene is the best in the world once again after Bren Esports were also crowned champions back in M2 last year.
In his winning speech, Oheb, the grand finals’ MVP, stated that it would make the team very happy if Moonton can create an Estes skin for them as Estes had been their signature hero since MPL PH Season 7.
In another media interview after the celebration, OhMyV33nus stated he wanted Mathilda to be made a custom skin for them, but in different words.
“I want cross-gender skin. Something that is not in Mobile Legends yet. For example, Mathilda, but in a guy skin,” he said.
Oheb, who was beside him, added, “Estes with a girl skin would also be good.”
But, in a recent livestream, OhMyV33nus stated that Moonton refused to do Estes. “Moonton doesn’t like Estes because Estes is not marketable. Moonton will decide that, not the players.”
Since then, fans have been rioting on twitter. So much that it became a trending Twitter topic in the Philippines.
Not just the Philippines but Indonesia, the biggest market for Mobile Legends, is also joining in the conversation, mostly questioning their decision not to make an Estes skin.
“Not profit if Moonton create Estes skin”, “Why bother offering if in the end got rejected”, “Moneytoon”.
Since then, Moonton has given their official statement regarding this. Stating that the development is still underway and willing to listen to Blacklist International and their players on the final selection.
There’s only one thing Moonton can do to make the community happy; create the Blacklist Estes skin.
