Esports powerhouses Team Falcons and Twisted Minds announce their official entry into the MLBB PH scene

MANILA, Philippines – Esports organizations Team Falcons and Twisted Minds from Saudi Arabia have officially entered the Philippine Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) scene.

During a private business luncheon in Makati City on Friday, the globally recognized teams confirmed that they have secured slots previously held by Blacklist International and RSG Philippines.

Both teams have expressed their intention to make a significant impact in the Philippines' esports community, citing a shared reason for choosing the country as their entry point: it is the strongest MLBB region.

Grant Rousseau, the Global Director of Esports for Team Falcons, stated, "The Philippines is the strongest region for MLBB players, from a competitive point of view."

Grant Rousseau further explained, "After an initial test year with AP Bren, the organization now understands the market's competitive nature, and we are ready to pick up our own franchise and team to compete and win."

Ibrahim Bin Jibreen, Twisted Minds' CEO and founder, shared, "We wanted to have our own journey in the Philippines' MLBB esports scene as it is the best one, especially when it comes to community building and competition."

He also expressed excitement about providing opportunities, saying, "We're excited to bring opportunities for players, coaches, and managers — all of them will be composed of Filipinos. It will be an opportunity for us to know the Filipino market by working with them, and we will provide them with a place to work in."

Both teams are set to compete in MPL PH Season 15, which will begin this March.
