MOONTON has introduced its first-ever Cellular Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) esports league in Thailand, bringing the Tremendous League (MSL) to the Southeast Asian nation.
Season 1 of the MSL Thailand is about to kick off quickly, with eight groups invited to compete. Notably, this contains some important organisations from the nation.
The inaugural individuals for MSL Thailand Season 1 embody Bacon Time, Buriram United Esports, eArena, FULL SENSE, TALON, Hydra, King of Players Membership, and SOLYX.
The Tremendous League isn’t a brand new event sequence. MOONTON already operates an MSL in Myanmar. The important thing differentiator between it and the MPL seems to be that the latter is for extra established and bigger areas, whereas the MSL caters to creating or newer ecosystems.
Whereas the official format of the MSL Thailand hasn’t been introduced but, it’ll doubtless be just like Myanmar’s, which follows a single round-robin Common Season main into the Playoffs. In Myanmar, the entire variety of groups is 10, out of which two are from open qualifiers.
MOONTON will doubtless introduce an open qualifier for the MSL Thailand as nicely.
MLBB Esports in Thailand
This event marks the primary time since 2017 {that a} standalone competitors by the developer is being organised in Thailand. The earlier one was the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup (now rebranded to the Mid-Season Cup), the place a Thailand qualifier was held.
Actually, the winner of the Thailand qualifier, IDONOTSLEEP, went on to win the inaugural SEA Cup 2017. Thailand, the place Enviornment of Valor has dominated by way of participant base, has all the time been a part of the MLBB esports ecosystem, however it was bundled into different areas similar to Laos and Vietnam.
All eight invited groups are main names in Enviornment of Valor’s ROV Professional League (RPL), which is hosted by Garena. Their entry into MLBB marks a big win for MOONTON because it goals to develop its participant base in Thailand.
Extra particulars concerning the MSL Thailand Season 1 ought to be coming quickly. Within the meantime, the M7 World Championship is underway in Indonesia to crown a brand new world champion.
