The former EVOS Legends coach, Bjorn "Zeys" Ong, recently leaked two Chinese (CN) teams who are most likely joining the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) esports scene soon. One of the teams mentioned has been confirmed as it is currently recruiting potential players to fill its roster. According to Zeys, there are a total of 10 Chinese esports organizations looking to compete in MLBB esports soon. However, the former EVOS Legends coach did reveal the full list as it is confidential.
Given that Chinese teams are currently in their preparation stage, it appears less probable that China will participate in the M5 World Championship alongside the other competing regions.
LGD Gaming and Nova Esports among 10 Chinese teams to join MLBB esports, says Zeys
Through an Instagram post, former EVOS Legends coach Zeys unveiled how many Chinese teams are looking to hop on the MLBB esports hype train.
The former EVOS Legends coach received an invitation to visit the Chinese headquarters of Moonton where he also made a Question and Answer (Q&A) session for the fans and answered a few questions about the future of the Chinese MLBB esports scene.
According to his post, a total of 10 esports organizations are currently building an MLBB esports team in preparation for future tournaments. While Zeys did not reveal the full list of teams, he unveiled that LGD Gaming and Nova Esports are two of the teams on the list.
LGD Gaming is one of the oldest esports organizations in China and currently holds teams from various competitive titles such as Dota 2, Honor of Kings, League of Legends, Overwatch, and PUBG.
Nova Esports, on the other hand, has been confirmed to join MLBB esports through its recruitment post on Twitter (now known as X). The esports organization is considered one of the household names in China and also hosts various esports teams for PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM), Arena of Valor, and League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Considering how China is one of the biggest markets for competitive gaming, it will be interesting to see how the MLBB esports scene evolves with the addition of Chinese teams competing in future tournaments.
