MDL PH Season 1 to kick off sometime in 2023
The MLBB amateur esports scene in the Philippines is filled with promising youngbloods looking to show off their skills and get signed to an official pro team. The competition is tough for each amateur as there are only a few pro teams who are part of the MLBB Professional League (MPL), resulting in very limited slots and chances to get recruited for each team.
Aspiring MLBB players who are looking to experience the big leagues will soon make their dreams a reality with the arrival of the MDL PH Season 1 sometime in 2023. This was teased through its official Facebook post on 28th December 2022.
Fans and popular MPL PH personalities flocked to the post and partook in the hype for the upcoming amateur league. However, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for more updates in the future as Moonton is yet to announce an official date for the start of the MDL PH Season 1.
According to a press conference, Antonio Silva, a member of Moonton’s marketing team, revealed that the tournament may kick off in the first half of 2023.
“We cannot share exactly as of the moment but do know that we are planning out the MDL for now and our target is to launch an event probably by Q1 or Q2,” he said.
It will be interesting to see how much the amateur scene grows once the first season of the MDL officially kicks off.
