Blacklist International will field familiar, battle-tested players when it competes in the M4 Mobile Legends World Championship from 1 to 15 January in Jakarta, Indonesia.
A three-time Mobile Legends Professional League Philippine champion, Blacklist will parade Johnmar "OhMyV33nus" Villaluna, Danerie James "Wise" Del Rosario, Edward Jay "EDWARD" Dapadap, Salic "Hadji" Imam, Kiel "OHEB" Soriano as its main five for the grandest stage of competitive Mobile Legends.
Meanwhile, MPL veterans Mark Jayson "ESON" Gerardo and Dexter "Dex Star" Alaba will be on the bench as the Blacklist's sixth and seventh man.
"This team is battle tested when it comes to the world stage," Blacklist head coach Kristoffer Ed "BON CHAN" Ricaplaza told Daily Tribune.
"You will never see them get nervous even when it is a do-or-die match. There was no process in making this selection, it is just the same old team that made us champion."
The world championship roster that Blacklist would be playing in Jakarta has surpassed expectations again and again.
Spearheaded by the real-life couple OhMyV33nus and Wise, Blacklist became the first team in MPL history to win a championship thrice when it won Season 10 in October.
