World champions will collide on the opening day of MPL Phl Season 12 when the league resumes on 8 September at Shooting Gallery Studios in Makati City.

Defending champion and M4 world champion ECHO is slated to lock horns with M3 world champion and three-time MPL champion Blacklist International at 1:30 p.m.

Fans will get to witness two more matchups on that day as RSG takes on ONIC PH while TNC Pro Team dukes it out with AP Bren.

"With the surprising roster updates, new emblem system, and comeback of iconic players for both MPL and MDL Philippines, this season will definitely be historic," said Moonton Games Marketing Lead for Esports Harry Leonardo.

"It is not the end of the domination in the world of MLBB esports yet, as all teams are gigil to prove that we remain to be the strongest region, especially now that we are hosting the upcoming M5 World Championship this December."
