MPL Malaysia is the pioneering esports league for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, which saw IDNS SG become the first champion for its inaugural season. Geek Fam finally took home the national crown in Season 4, followed by many esports giants – such as RSG MY, TODAK, Team SMG, and more who have managed to dominate the competition and become national champions.
Over the last few seasons, the national league has introduced new partners such as McDonalds, Joe & Barbers, Nescafe, and more to create more opportunities to reach out to a younger demographic through esports. MPL Malaysia has also provided support to its players and inspired local esports organisations to develop their esports ambitions further, through various marketing and social media amplification campaigns in partnership with TikTok. This season, ten teams will fight for a lion's share of USD 100,000 and a spot to proceed onto the M4 World Championship held in Jakarta from 1 to 15 2023.
