Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), the star game of international video game developer, MOONTON Games, has joined forces with Visa and GCash to power up the esports and gaming community as Team Philippines represent the nation at M7 World Championship, the world's biggest and most prestigious MLBB tournament of the year.
Team Philippines, represented by Team Liquid (TL) and Aurora Gaming PH (RORA PH), is bidding to secure a sixth consecutive championship title for the country. TL continues its Golden Road journey, an elite achievement that requires winning all major domestic and international titles within a single competitive year.
Through its partnership with Visa and GCash, MLBB aims to rally nationwide support for the teams by elevating fan engagement around M7. As part of this initiative, MLBB will host its largest watch party to date, jointly presented by Visa and GCash, from 23–25 January, at the Music Hall, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City, Philippines.
The Official M7 Watch Party brings the energy and excitement of the M7 World Championship closer to Filipino fans, creating a shared space where the Philippine MLBB gaming and esports community can come together to celebrate their teams and experience M7 as one.
Beyond live match viewing, the event will also showcase "Gigil," a KOL-produced music video and localized adaptation of the official M7 theme song "Sizzle," created by Fuego Gaming and Trippings, set for release soon. The video features cameo appearances by M6 World Champions and MLBB stars Cyric "Kingkong" Perez and Grant Duane "Kelra" Pillas, and captures the passion and pride of the Philippine MLBB community as fans unite in support of the country's representatives at M7.
Adding to the spectacle, the watch party will feature special appearances by MPL Philippines on-air talents Odin and Uomi, ONIC Philippines professional players, and popular MLBB content creators.
What's more, participants can win exclusive rewards from event partners, including realme smartphones, Fairrie products, and premium gaming chairs from Secretlab. In addition, limited-edition M7 merchandise items will be given on-site, available exclusively to Official M7 Watch Party attendees.
Lee Viloria, Head of PH Esports Business Development and Partnerships at MOONTON Games, said: "Each year, the MLBB World Championship is a special moment for the Philippine MLBB community, and it's something we want fans to experience together. Collaborating with Visa and GCash allows us to go beyond the competition itself and create meaningful touchpoints for fans, whether through our biggest watch party yet or on-ground activities that bring everyone closer to the teams. As our representatives compete on the global stage, this partnership helps turn M7 into a shared celebration for Filipino fans everywhere."
Alongside the main venue watch party in Pasay, MOONTON Student Leaders (MSL) Philippines is rolling out the M7 Watch Party Campus Edition, a nationwide grassroots initiative designed to extend the M7 World Championship's reach into schools and universities across the Philippines. The program strengthens MLBB's presence within the student ecosystem while reinforcing its position as the leading esports title among young people and on campus.
On-site campus watch parties will be staged concurrently across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, covering key regions including the National Capital Region (NCR), Central and South Luzon, Eastern, Western, and Central Visayas, as well as Northern Mindanao, Davao, and Caraga. Participating institutions will host live match screenings complemented by on-ground engagements such as mini-tournaments, interactive activities, partner booths, merchandise distribution, and brand-led giveaways.
