Revamped MDL-PH arena, bigger challenges

MDL Philippines, the country's proving ground for amateur MLBB esports athletes will begin its third season on 12 March 2024. All Regular Season matches start from 3 pm on Tuesday, Thursday, and Wednesday, and will run until 25 April 2024.

Ten participating teams will be dared to showcase how they level up their strength in-game and compete to take home the biggest share of the prize pool worth 20,000 USD.

 

This season's participating teams are Blacklist Academy Rough Era (BLRW), ECHO Proud (ECHO), RSG El Ganador (RELG), AP.Bren Xia (APBX), ONIC Arsenals (ONIC), Smart Omega Neos (OMGN), TNC Z4 (TNZ4), Minana Archives (MNNA), GameLab x Desolators (GLAD), and RRQ Kaito (RRQ).

 

Among the major upgrades that fans will witness is the implementation of the Global Ban System.

 

The Global Ban System allows the team to use a particular hero only once during the series. This means that the hero, once used by a player in the team, cannot be used again in the same series by the same team. However, the opposing team can still choose to pick and use that hero, provided they haven't used it.

 

Moreover, the league will hold its Playoffs Season offline, for the first time, to bring the tournament to the big stage.
