#Blacklist esports

One of the most iconic names in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) esports, Blacklist International, has announced the sale of its MPL Philippines franchise slot, marking the end of an era for one of the league’s most successful teams. The move paves the way for a new esports organization to enter the league for the 2025 season, though details on the buyer and financial specifics remain undisclosed. Blacklist International has been a powerhouse in the MLBB competitive scene since joining MPL Philippines in 2020. The decision to sell its MPL slot comes as Tier One Entertainment, the parent company of Blacklist International, shifts its focus toward new business opportunities. This underscores the growing popularity of MLBB esports in the region, making Blacklist’s exit a significant shift in the competitive landscape. Blacklist International has been scaling back its esports involvement in general. As fans eagerly await the announcement of Blacklist’s successor in MPL Philippines, the question remains—will this new team be able to fill the void left by one of the league’s most dominant organizations? With its dominance in the PC, console, and even mobile platforms, the question that has always been looming is, "is it Esports ready?"
