- MLBB’s Golden Month returns with 10,000 smartphone giveaways
- MLBB’s M7 World Championship is the fourth most watched esports event
However, unlike MPL Philippines and Indonesia, which operate under fully accredited systems, MPL Malaysia will have a new ‘partnership system’.
MOONTON did not draw a clear distinction between the two. However, Crystal TanThe Head of Business Development for Malaysia Esports at MOONTON Games, shared that the eight teams were “selected” with “the long-term growth of Malaysian esports at heart.”
This stands in contrast to the MPL Philippines and Indonesia, where teams had to pay buy-in fees.
The eight teams that will compete in the Mobile Legends Professional League Malaysia are as follows:
- Selangor Red Giants (SRG)
- Vamos group (VMS)
- Team Rey (TR)
- Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ)
- Bigetron MY by VIT (BTRM)
- Everything is a Combo (AC)
- Invictus Gaming (G)
- Team Flash (TF)
“The Partnership Program is the first step beyond MPL Malaysia,” Tan said in a press release.
“By bringing together local and international teams to compete domestically, we are not only raising the level of competition, but creating a strong league that puts Malaysia firmly on the global sporting map—inspiring the next generation of players and our fans can continue to be proud of.”
