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. Blacklist International has been a powerhouse in the MLBB competitive scene since joining MPL Philippines in 2020. However, recent struggles saw the organization fall short in international competitions, with a third-place finish at M5 in 2023 and consecutive fourth-place finishes in MPL Philippines last year, ultimately missing out on M6 qualification. 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.
