#MLBB tournament

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. The tournament format and prize pool details have yet to be announced, but it will mark the eighth season under the franchise model, featuring eight participating teams. This underscores the growing popularity of MLBB esports in the region, making Blacklist’s exit a significant shift in the competitive landscape.   International esports organizer PGL has partnered with game developer MOONTON Games to expand the European competitive scene for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), with the launch of the inaugural PGL MLBB Challengers tournament.     The partnership marks PGL’s first MLBB tournament in Europe and is aimed at developing grassroots talent and strengthening the region’s mobile esports ecosystem. PGL, one of Europe’s largest esports organizations, will handle tournament operations and broadcasting.   Ajay Jilka, Head of Esports for Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Türkiye at MOONTON Games, said the partnership is part of the company’s effort to build a stronger regional foundation for MLBB esports in Europe.
