The 2025 MPL Philippines season is the eight year of professional and the third year of amateur gameplay in the Philippines for the multiplayer online battle arena game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang . This year collates two season splits for both MPL Philippines and MDL Philippines.

The year began with the inaugural Magic Chess Go Go World Championships where new teams competed for a new world title. The Magic Chess world championships was announced during the announcement portion of the MLBB M6 World Championship in Malaysia. ^[1] Following the world championship is MPL Philippines Season 15 and MDL Philippines Season 5, the two regional competitions for the professional and amateur scenes of the Philippines. Eight teams are competing for a chance to qualify for second iteration of the Esports World Cup in Riyadh where the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup or MSC 2025 will be held coinciding with it. The Philippines has yet to win MSC since 2022 when RSG Philippines won the country's last title. ^[2]

With the conclusion of MSC 2025, the second split—MPL Philippines Season 16 and MDL Philippines Season 6—will be held. MPL Philippines will feature the same eight teams to compete for two slots in the upcoming MLBB M7 World Championship. The multinational tournament will be held in different regions across the globe with the Grand Finale being held in Indonesia. The tournament will return to the Southeast Asian giant for the first time since M4. ^[3] However, similarly to M3, the M7 World Championships will be held in 2026 to avoid scheduling conflicts with the 2025 SEA Games.

Background

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League of the Philippines (MPL Philippines) is a professional esports league managed by Moonton Games. MPL Philippines was established with sister-leagues MPL Indonesia and MPL Malaysia (formerly known as MPL MYSG) to accommodate the growing population of esports players for the sports discipline. Since its establishment nine different teams have won the MPL Philippines championship title from Aether Main to most-recently ONIC Philippines. ^{[4] [5]} Currently, Blacklist International holds the most number of championship titles by any organization in the Philippines with 3, winning Season 7, Season 8, and Season 10. ^{[6] [7] [8]}

Since Season 8, the league has transitioned to a franchise-based system, thereby effectively removing the qualifier portion of MPL Philippines. Their transition to a franchise-based league was with their fellow-sister league MPL Indonesia. ^[9]

Venue

Season 15

MPL Philippines Season 15 was held at the Green Sun Hotel in Makati, the same venue for the MPL Philippines Season 14 Regular and Playoffs season. MDL Philippines would remain an online event with the Finals being played offline.

Season 16

MPL Philippines Season 16 will once again be held at the Green Sun Hotel in Makati.

MPL Philippines would halt the season from the period of April 13 to April 20 in observance to the Holy Week. Moreover, the league halted its matches to make way for the ESL Snapdragon Mobile Masters 2025 for teams who qualified for both the play-ins and playoffs. ^[31]

Playoffs

After a three-week break, the Season 15 playoffs began to determine the Philippines' two representatives for MSC 2025.

Play-in Tournament

(#3) ONIC Philippines vs. (#6) Twisted Minds PH

Defending champions ONIC Philippines are matched up against Twisted Minds PH who barely made the playoffs with a 3–11 record. ONIC Philippines came in as the overwhelming favorites for the series. After a 2–0 lead over Twisted Minds, the underdogs tied up the series for the first of four-consecutive game-five series in the playoffs which ultimately went to ONIC Philippines. ONIC eliminated Twisted Minds and advanced to the next round against Aurora Gaming.

(#4) Team Falcons PH vs. (#5) TNC Pro Team

For the second matchup, it's M5 world champions roster now under Team Falcons PH against TNC Pro Team who qualified for the playoffs for the first time since their franchise-best 9–5 record during MPL Philippines Season 9. In another best-of-five series against the former world championship roster Team Falcons, Team Falcons held the advantage at a 2–1 series but with a rally in Game 4, its series became the second-consecutive five-game series. Team Falcons however would win Game 5 over TNC Pro Team which qualified them for the playoffs, the first time in a while that the Top 4 were included in the playoff picture.

Upper Bracket Semifinals

(#2) Aurora Gaming vs. (#3) ONIC Philippines

Defending champions ONIC Philippines would face off the super team Aurora Gaming in a rematch from the Grand Finals. In another close-series of trading games left and right, ONIC PH would prevail and hold a 3–0 head-to-head record in the playoffs. In Season 14, they lost in two series—including the Grand Finals—to then Fnatic ONIC Philippines and this becomes their third series loss against ONIC Philippines in a series in the playoffs. ONIC would make it to the Upper Bracket Finals in a 50-50 chance to qualify for MSC.

(#1) Team Liquid PH vs. (#4) Team Falcons PH

Top seed Team Liquid PH saw themselves in an 0–2 hole over Team Falcons. However, Team Liquid would prevail in three-straight matches over Team Falcons, play after play that sent the Falcons down to the lower-bracket semifinals against Aurora and in a potential elimination match for them.

Upper Bracket Finals

(#1) Team Liquid PH vs. (#3) ONIC Philippines

Team Liquid Philippines and ONIC Philippines qualified for the Upper Bracket Finals and was the first time that a first seed would matchup with the three-seed in the upper-bracket in a long while. The only three-seed who prevailed in the upper-bracket finals against another team were ONIC during Season 5, Execration in Season 7, and Blacklist International in a back-to-back campaign in Seasons 11 and 12.

Lower Bracket Semifinals

(#2) Aurora Gaming vs. (#4) Team Falcons PH

After both teams' loss early in the upper-bracket semifinals, former M6 representatives and grand finalists Aurora Gaming matched up against former MSC 2024 representatives and M5 champions Team Falcons in the lower bracket semifinals. As reflected by the upper bracket finals, Team Falcons PH, with their extensive playoff experience and veteran leadership of its players, swept the second-seed Aurora Gaming 3–0 to face Team Liquid PH in the lower-bracket finals and in another chance to qualify for MSC.

Lower Bracket Finals

(#1) Team Liquid PH vs. (#4) Team Falcons PH

The two former MSC 2024 representatives were battling each other in the lower bracket finals in a best-of-seven series. This is the second-consecutive season where the lower bracket finals is a best of seven. Team Liquid PH orchestrated a 2–0 lead early in the series which was then countered by Falcons after a Game 3 dominant win. However, TLPH would still win Game 4 to get match point until a Game 5 win over the squad that pushed the series to six games. In Game 6, Falcons would be eliminated as TLPH qualified for MSC and their fifth finals appearance.

Grand Finals

(#1) Team Liquid Philippines vs. (#3) ONIC Philippines

Team Liquid PH and ONIC Philippines were the grand finalists for MPL Philippines Season 15, a rematch of the upper-bracket finals where ONIC swept Team Liquid that qualified them for MSC 2025. The best of seven series saw an immediate back-and-forth of game wins from both sides but ultimately, Team Liquid PH won in seven games over ONIC Philippines, denying ONIC a chance to repeat as champions.

Other Events

ESL Snapdragon Pro Series

The ESL Snapdragon Pro Series for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang began during the offseason of MPL Philippines Seasons 15 and 16. The tournament is on its sixth season split into three different tournament levels: The Open Finals, the Challenge Season, and the Challenge Finals with the finale being the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series Masters, in Jakarta. ^[43] Both amateur and professional teams from MPL Philippines competed in these tournaments.

Season 6: Open Finals

In the Open Finals, three professional squads competed for a slot in the challenge season: Aurora Gaming, Omega Esports (stylized as Smart Omega), and ONIC Philippines, and four amateur squads: Gamerpact Ascend, Gamerpact Chiefs, Lazy Esports, and RRQ Kaito. The seven representatives played a Best-of-3 Swiss-stage tournament with the top four teams qualifying for the challenge season. Indonesia's Alter Ego and the Philippines' Aurora Gaming both went unscathed in the Swiss stage, going on a perfect 4–0 record while ONIC Philippines had a 5–1 record, dropping only one series to Indonesia's RRQ Hoshi who subsequently qualified as the eight seed. Among the seven representatives, three of them qualified for the Challenge Season. ^[44]

Season 6: Challenge Season

The Challenge season featured the eight qualifying teams from the Open Final and eight invited teams from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. All teams were split into four groups with the top two advancing to the Challenge Finals. Among the four Philippine representatives, two teams qualified for the Challenge Finals in ONIC Philippines—who went undefeated in their group—and Aurora Gaming—who only lost two games in their Best of 3 matches.

Season 6: Challenge Finals

The Challenge Finals was the third phase of the Snapdragon Pro Series held in February 2025. One team from six different regions were invited by ESL to compete with the six qualifying teams from the Challenge Season. The Philippines had three representatives in the Challenge Finals in ONIC Philippines, Aurora Gaming, and the debutant Team Falcons PH. Among the Philippines' representatives, Team Falcons PH and ONIC Philippines qualified for the ESL Snapdragon Masters with FCON placing fourth and ONIC Philippines in the deciding Grand Finals match against sister team ONIC Esports. ONIC Philippines swept their sister team ONIC Esports to claim the Challenge Finals trophy and a shot at Masters in the middle of the split. ^[45]

Mobile Masters 2025

The Snapdragon Mobile Masters 2025 was an international tournament held by ESL Snapdragon Pro Series. It was the last iteration of that year's ESL Snapdragon Pro Series competition and is similar to that of the Master's Tours Championship. ONIC Philippines qualified for the Mobile Masters as the champions of the Challenge Finals. In the group stage, ONIC Philippines had an equal-best record with Indonesian team RRQ Hoshi but RRQ edged them out by just one game. ONIC had a 5–0; 10-1 standing while RRQ had a perfect 5–0; 10–0 record.

Both teams would meet in the Grand Finals and ONIC Philippines won the series in 5 games. ^[46]

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational

See also: MSC 2025 § Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational 2025

The second iteration of the women's division for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in the 2025 Esports World Cup will be held again coinciding with MSC 2025 —the men's division. Teams from the Philippines qualified through the Athena League which served as the first official female tournament for MLBB for the female division and the qualifying tournament for Philippine teams to EWC.

In the Athena League, defending MWI champions Omega Empress—the women's division for Smart Omega —was acquired by Natus Vincere midway through the Athena League. ^[47] This comes after NAVI's own entry to both MLBB in Indonesia ^[48] and Malaysia. ^[49] NAVI PH was swept by North American representatives Gaimin Gladiators during the quarterfinals while Team Liquid were swept by Burmese representatives Terror Queens for the third-placer match. ^[50] This is the Philippines' worst team placement in the MWI tied with Risk Velkhana's fourth-placement in MWI 2023. ^[51]

Awards

In every split, MPL Philippines announces awards for players across the league such as all star teams and the individual awards such as Regular Season MVP and Finals MVP.

Season 15

Similarly to Season 14, 2 All-Star Teams will be awarded to ten different players from the five different lanes in-game while one All-Fan Vote team would also be announced. For the second-consecutive season, one team dominated the fan's all-star team.

Controversies

MPL Philippines Season 15 champions medals

Fans online—specifically on Facebook communities—have called out MPL Philippines for their "cheap" looking medals that were given to the champions Team Liquid PH. Previous iterations of these medals were hard metal-like medals that were evident during MPL PH Season 7 and MPL PH Season 8. However, during the Season 15 awarding ceremony for the champions, the medals were reportedly made out of acrylic or some type of plastic which caused dismay among fans and players alike. Players including Johnmar "OhMyV33Nus" Villaluna and Setsuna "AkoSiDogie" Ignacio publicly expressed dismay with fans calling out MPL Philippines for cheeping out on the medal. ^[52]

MLBB Exodus

See also: Honor of Kings

On July 2, 2025, Renejay Barcase, Tristan Cabrera, John Paul Salonga, and earlier Setsuna Ignacio—collectively known as the original members of the Nexplay EVOS Big Three and one of the most-influential streamers in the Philippines—has collectively departed its teams, organizations, and sponsors related to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang . Barcase, Cabrera, and Salonga in particular left their teams: Aurora Gaming, TNC Pro Team and Smart Omega, respectively. A day later, it was announced that the four of them alongside Oscar "Sumpak" Romero was joining Honor of Kings , the direct competitor of MLBB in the mobile scene. This is so far, the largest departure of star talents, players, and personalities from one game, following the lead of original casters Manjean Faldas, Shin Boo Ponferrada, Edgar "ChooxTV" Dumali and Mara Aquino. ^{[53] [54] [55] [56]}

Since 2024, many former personalities and content creators of MLBB have switched to Honor of Kings citing different reasons on why they've decided to transfer.
