MPL PHILIPPINES S8 DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED

The production and broadcast of MPL Philippines Season 8 will be postponed due to the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) that will be in effect in Metro Manila from August 6 to August 20.

Only essential services are permitted to operate in the country’s capital during this lockdown period, which is why the Regular Season, as well as the Playoffs, will begin much later than originally planned.

The MPL Philippines team will adhere to all applicable government regulations and safety protocols, as well as take additional precautions during the tournament to ensure the players’ health and safety on and off the field.

Because of the MPL’s official transition into a franchise model earlier this year, this season marked a significant shift in the Mobile Legends landscape in the Philippines, with the goal of ensuring a more promising future for esports development in the country.

The franchise will allow for a more professional and standardized management system as well as team operation, providing players with the much-needed stability that they need to succeed in the league.

This includes the complete protection of the rights and interests of players. Over the course of the next three years, the diversified revenue model will see over US$ 8,000,000 distributed among franchise teams.

The prize pool for the upcoming season will be USD 150,000, and the rulebook and tournament format will have been revised. For teams, the model will establish new professional standards, which will improve their respective branding and marketing operations as a result of the model.

From Season 9, the league will also introduce the Minor League Development League (MDL), which will allow community teams to join and compete.
