The MPL Philippines just leveled up! Two esports titans from Saudi Arabia, Twisted Minds (TWIS) and Team Falcons (FLCN), have officially entered the league. Yup, you read that right—these global heavyweights are ready to challenge the best MLBB players in the country.

So, why the Philippines? TWIS CEO Ibrahim Bin Jibreen spilled the tea:
“We want to compete on the highest level in MLBB esports, and the Philippines is the right country to be in.”
And he’s not wrong. The Philippines has long been hailed as a powerhouse in MLBB, with some of the best players and the most passionate fans in the world. Grant Rousseau, FLCN’s Global Esports Director, couldn’t agree more:
“The Philippines is the strongest region for MLBB players from a competitive point of view. We are ready to pick up our own franchise and team to compete and to win.”

For Moonton Games, this move is a huge step toward taking MPL PH to the next level. Matthew Chan, PH Esports Head of Operations, shared their excitement:
“We are thrilled to welcome Twisted Minds and Team Falcons into the league. This partnership aligns with our mission to expand the ecosystem and create a sustainable environment that benefits our teams.”

It’s clear TWIS and FLCN aren’t here just to participate—they’re here to dominate. And honestly, it’s hard not to get hyped when even the teams themselves are fired up. “We’ve fallen in love with the fans, the game’s popularity, and the connection between teams and supporters,” Rousseau said.

With these new additions, expect the competition to get even fiercer. The MPL Philippines is entering a brand-new era, and we’re all here for it. Buckle up, MLBB fans—this season is going to be wild!
