"MPL Singapore remains committed to our aim of enabling professional esports athletes to compete at the highest levels of sportsmanship. Given the right resources and support, we believe that our esports players can surpass other regional and international teams," stated Jaime Cruz, Esports Lead, Singapore, MOONTON Games.
"We had an awesome run in Season 4, achieving a record-breaking PCV and a full house for our Playoffs," said Lee Jian Ming, Managing Director of Zenway. "Season 5 will expand on our fans' experiences, where we aim to continue enhancing the viewing experience online, while also improving the onsite fan experience to ensure accessibility and space for a larger audience."
Opportunities to perform on an international level
The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional Leagues serve as pathways to regional and international stages, such as the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) and the M-Series World Championship. In previous seasons, local teams such as RSG SG and Slate Esports (formerly known as EVOS SG) represented Singapore on the international stage.
"Local esports athletes have a lot of passion and talent to offer," said Mr. Lee. "We always look at ways to raise the level of our league and players, and one of the ways is to expose the teams to international events where they can benefit from the experience."
