Two top Philippine Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League teams have been fined after they were found to have displayed unsporting conduct, which took place in the first two games of their match in Week 7 Day 3.
MPL Philippines fined both Nexplay EVOS and Smart Omega US$3,000 each after a quick investigation of a series between both teams.
Yes, you read that right. Stefan “Soul” Chong, 26, former team captain of EVOS SG, is trusting the team enough to take the wheel...and quite possibly for good. Soul has been EVOS SG’s team manager and Business Development Lead for over a year now, initially taking up the role in February 2020. However, finding it hard to let go, he intervened to help his teammates during the Playoffs last season.
The last series of Week 7 in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines Season 8 (MPL PH S8) has thrown its fans for a loop after two of the top teams exhibited some fishy behaviour.
With MPL SG playoffs coming up and the final roster amendments closed, we’re all excited to know more about the players representing the different teams. Among the teams that participated, we were most pumped for EVOS SG — with their new lineup of players since losing Pokemon, Girl, Swoop and Dagger after winning last season.
MPL ID is the most viewed MPL by far in the region. With more than 1 million concurrent viewers when teams such as EVOS, RRQ, ONIC, and Alter Ego play, there’s no doubt that MPL ID is also the most competitive MPL. From the last 2 seasons, teams who didn’t manage to get to the playoffs were GEEK FAM and AURA ESPORTS. They were both at the bottom 2 places in the regular seasons 6 and 7 respectively. GEEK FAM only won 6 games combined, and AURA only won 1 game.

Home is where the heart is for Bjorn “Zeys” Ong. But the Singaporean head coach of EVOS Legends is planning to stay in Indonesia for a while longer. It is no surprise, considering how his leap of faith has reaped indisputable success. He captured the Mobile Legends Professional League Indonesia title in Seasons 4 and 7, and is gunning for a 3rd now in S8.
Nexplay, the company accused of mismanaging a gaming bootcamp, said they are looking into complaints raised by a Filipino female pro-gamer. In a public statement, Nexplay said they are looking into the matter and are replacing the management team involved in the fiasco.
Indonesian Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) fans must be familiar with the term “franchise league”. It’s commonly discussed among fans on why the MPL is a franchise league, why other teams can’t enter MPL easily, why it is so expensive, and so on.
A female pro esports player has accused one of the Philippines' largest esports talent agencies of mismanaging a recent bootcamp. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang player Myca “Yshin” Pascual — who used to play on the all-ladies Nexplay Tempest esports team — alleged that Nexplay Esports engaged in gender discrimination and provided poor living conditions.
