#MPL Philippines franchise slot

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. MPL Philippines Season 15 is scheduled to kick off in March 2025 and will run until May. Season 14 of MPL Philippines was a record-breaking success, achieving an all-time high peak viewership of 1.6 million and maintaining an average audience of 130,000 viewers. The sale of their MPL franchise slot is yet another major step in that direction. 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?
