MPL Philippines Season 11: Who are the teams competing?

Eight teams will compete in the MPL Philippines regular season before the winning top six teams head to the all-important playoffs. Here are the eight teams that will be participating in MPL PH Season 11.

Blacklist International

Blacklist International won their 3rd title in four consecutive seasons after triumphing 4-2 over ECHO in the previous playoffs held at the Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan, Quezon City, Manila. Blacklist and ECHO's rematch is highly-anticipated and will set the tone for MPL PH Season 11's duration.

Blacklist's roster shuffle was announced on Twitter, and is built around their tandem core of OhMyV33nus and Wise. Overall, their composition consists of strong, well-rounded players ready to defend their MPL Philippines title.

• Edward Jay Dapadap - "EDWARD"
• Dexter Louise Cruz Alba - "Dex Star"
• Aniel Jiandani - “MasterTheBasics”
• Danerie James del Rosario -"Wise"
• Jonmar Villaluna - "OhMyV33nus"
• Renejay Barcase - "RENEJAY"
• Kenneth Tadeo - “Yue”
• Red Bordeos - “SuperRed”

Yue joins the champion-caliber team with a plethora of experience. He was a former member of the rookie-team Maharlika Esports. Renejay is a former Nexplay EVOS talent and was previously a stand-in for Blacklist. Super Red completes the squad.

Master The Basics takes on the mantle of head coach, while Dex Star will serve as Blacklist’s assistant coach.  

Blacklist International has some interesting strategies they implement into their MLBB matches, the most famous of which is their UBE tactic, pioneered in Season 8. An acronym for Ultimate Bonding Experience, UBE was a deciding factor in the Blacklist's rise to success.

UBE sees the team moving as a collective unit, sticking together as much as they physically can. Whether they are hunting down enemies, engaging in an initial team fight or falling back, the UBE strat means they all need to stay together. OhMyV33NUS and Wise have an unbreakable bond as a duo. It will be interesting to see how effective their UBE synergy will be with the new recruits.

ECHO

ECHO Philippines, or ECHO, have a point to prove as they will face off in a rematch against Blacklist International for their first game.
