MLBB Philippines is hosting the first-ever Lakbay Pasulong Showmatch on May 12, featuring MDL PH and MWI PH players and MPL PH Team Correspondents.

They were coming from the successful SILAB Qualifiers, the MWI: Road to Finals 2024 will serve as a platform to put the spotlight on the greatness and grit of Filipino women players. The Grand Finals will be held on Sunday, 12 May 2024.

The participating teams are 2023 SEA Games Silver Medalist Smart Omega Empress, Franchise Team Qualifier winner TNCZ4 FE, Open Qualifier top teams ONIC ZOL, and Super Monching FE.

The winning team will represent the Philippines in the MWI 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a prize pool worth USD 500,000, one of the largest prize pools for women’s tournaments in history.

“This is just the beginning of our path to make MLBB esports in the Philippines more inclusive. With MWI: Road to Finals 2024, we hope to encourage our aspiring young female athletes out there to follow their dreams and become professional players in MLBB,” says Baizhou Ning, MOONTON Games Head of Esports.

MDL Philippines Season 3 playoffs start from May 10-11, 2024, at 4 pm. The matches will feature six teams namely RRQ Kaito, SMART Omega Neos, Blacklist Academy Rough Era, ONIC Arsenals, ECHO Proud, and TNC Z4. They will vie for the championship title and the biggest share from its prize pool worth USD 20,000 or more than PHP 1 million.

The competition has become tougher this time with the implementation of the Global Ban system which allows teams to use a particular hero during the series for one time only. Once a hero has been played by a team, it becomes unavailable for that team for the remainder of the series. However, the opposing team can still choose to pick and use that hero if they haven’t used it.

Recognizing the talent and hard work of the young broadcast talents of MDL PH, the league will once again bestow the Best Talent award to a caster or host, which Bridgitte “Brigida” Alexandra Ramos has received for two consecutive seasons already and is now part of the MPL Philippines caster pool.

Last season, ECHO Proud took home the title which also led to the discovery of its amateur players who are now part of the MPL Philippines.

Those who wish to watch the matches can purchase their tickets from slashevent.com, the official ticketing partner. The following ticket options are now available for purchase:

All ticket holders are entitled to watch all three matches of the day. Those who will register on-site will receive in-game diamonds worth 100.

This will be followed by the MDL Philippines Grand Finals and MWI PH Grand Finals matches, respectively.
