Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Malaysia Season 15 Kicks Off
New Playoffs Format: A Step Towards Improved Fan Experience
Kuala Lumpur, March 25 — The new season of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Malaysia, which commences on April 19, will see the playoffs split across two phases. The playoffs will take place over two weekends, with phase one running on May 30 and 31, and phase two on June 14 and 15.
Rationale Behind the New Format
Head of e-sports (MY and SEA Incubation) of MOONTON Games, Siew Hao Zhen, explained that the new format was introduced to improve fan experience. "In previous seasons, the playoffs would take place from Thursday to Sunday, which led to some fans not being able to attend the weekday matches due to commitments such as school and work," he said. "Now, we will do on both weekends, Saturday and Sunday. We believe the new format aligns more closely to our league’s brand of being an inclusive and family-friendly community."
Season 15 Format
Season 15 will follow the same two-staged format, with the regular season preceding the playoffs. The regular season will feature 10 of the nation’s top MLBB teams, who will compete every week from April 19 to May 25. The top six teams from the regular season will advance to the playoffs.
The match opener on April 19 will be a rematch of last season’s grand finalists, SRG versus Team Vamos.
