MPL PH finally goes onsite!

Happy Valentines! MPL Philippines is definitely getting some love as the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) finally approved to have week 5 of MPL PH be played onsite.

“The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League – Philippines (MPL-PH) Season 9 gets the green light from Games and Amusements Board (GAB) to go offline from the 3rd week of the regular season up to the playoffs. GAB initially confirmed the approval to have the games onsite from Week 5 onward,” read MPL PH’s press release.

According to the organizers, they will implement safety protocols to ensure everybody’s safety. Swab tests, limited personnel, and others will be implemented to ensure health safety.

“During the period, strict health and safety protocols will be implemented such as having swab tests and limiting the number of personnel entering in the venue. There will also be a roving safety officer to ensure everyone follows the rules. Safety and sanitation kits will be shared with all attendees and potential cases will be isolated,” they told.

MPL PH will also be implementing some limits, even to the players, including the casters. Despite this, the audience will still not be allowed on the venue. With this, fans are still encouraged to watch the games through the streams which will be uploaded through Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.

As of this moment, fans are actually excited for the upcoming season of MPL PH. Many are very eager to see many changes in teams, especially for ECHO Esports whose players are all-star level.
