Liyab Esports Unveils Wild Rift Roster Featuring Former LoL PC Pro Players

Liyab Esports reveals its League of Legends (LoL): Wild Rift team roster composed of former LoL PC pro players. The organization holds one of the most successful LoL PC esports teams in the Southeast Asian (SEA) region. The team’s previous Wild Rift roster was not able to maintain its momentum and missed its chance to participate in last year’s Wild Rift Horizon Cup 2021. Shortly after the tournament, the organization decided to release its team roster and rebuild it from scratch. With its new Wild Rift roster, Liyab aims to dominate the Wild Rift Champions SEA - Philippines and secure a spot in the upcoming Wild Rift Icons Global Championship 2022.

Who is Liyab Esports?

Liyab Esports is an esports organization from the Philippines. It is sponsored by telecommunications provider, Globe Telecom, and one of the prominent esports organizations in the region, Mineski.

Its Wild Rift team originally debuted on 29th Jan 2021. However, the team was not able to find success in the Wild Rift esports scene. The only championship title the team acquired was from a local esports event, Metro Manila Bakbakan, where they finished with a clean sweep victory score of 3-0 against Berjata Dragons in the grand finals.

As one of the biggest esports organizations in the Philippines, Liyab Esports has always been a fan favorite due to how it engages with its fans and for its commitment towards molding promising local esports talents. With its return to the Wild Rift esports scene, it will be interesting to see if the organization finds success this time around.
