The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines (PH) is fast approaching. While the exact release date is yet to be revealed, teams have already finalized their rosters for the upcoming season. Some surprising roster reveals include Blacklist International’s main squad making a comeback and ONIC PH completely revamping its roster and signing amateur players and a popular content creator to its lineup. The defending champion RSG PH may face tougher challenges in the upcoming MPL PH Season 10. Teams will also be aiming to secure a slot for the prestigious M4 World Championship slated to be held in January 2023.
The return of the legendary lineup has been officially announced. The main squad of Blacklist International shall aim to reclaim its throne in the upcoming season.

With the return of the full roster, the M3 World Champion is looking to prove to the fans that it is still one of the best teams in the world.
