The Singapore-held ONE Esports MPL Invitational 2021 finally came to a close last Sunday. Twenty Southeast Asian (SEA) teams, from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Cambodia, duked it out for the championship title and prize money. For Mobile Legends fans, it was a sight to behold.
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Yoda walk into a jungle. All hell breaks loose. Nope, this isn’t a childhood fantasy concocted by hardcore Transformers and Star Wars stans (or is it?). It’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB).
Not everyone likes trash talk, but Moonton believes it is natural and also a legit motivator — as long as it is managed well and doesn’t cross the lines of topics like racism and sexism.
A huge problem has been festering in the Mobile Legends community for quite a while now and it’s a problem that has affected players since launch till this day.
This year’s MPL ID delivered all the usual action and killer moments we come to expect. However, it’s no doubt most memorable to the crowning champions, ONIC. After 4 seasons of missing the top podium, they’ve finally pulled a narrow 4-3 victory against RRQ. Season 8 of MPL ID gives ONIC their second champion title.
The MPL ID S8 playoffs ended last weekend with ONIC claiming their 2nd championship after beating RRQ in a close 4-3 and claimed a spot in M3. As 1st runner up, RRQ has also qualified for M3, making them one of the few teams that have attended every M-World Series thus far.
Two days ago, a battle of epic proportions took place at The Gym Esportscentre as teams fought for the right to lift the (somewhat heavy) MPL SG Season 2 trophy. (No kidding, the thing weighs 15kg)
After 2 long months of regular season, ONIC has emerged at the top of MPL ID S8. The Playoffs will finally commence on 21st October 2021 in Bali. Teams will compete against each other in the most hype MPL to date.
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.
