The widely popular mobile game is the


first title to be confirmed for the esports
events of the 2019 SEA Games

MANILA, Philippines – Mobile


Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) or Mobile
Legends is the first title to be
announced as a medal game in the
inaugural esports tournament of the
2019 Southeast Asian Games (SEA
Games).

Here’s what you need to know about the game.

What is Mobile Legends?

Mobile Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) for iOS and Android
devices developed and published by Shanghai Moontoon Technology, a game
development company based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The game was launched in
2016.

How do you play?

At its core, Mobile Legends pits 2 teams of


5 against each other, with the main
objective being to destroy the opponent’s
base.

At the start of the game, each player gets to


select a hero. Each hero has a unique set
of attributes and skills. There are currently
92 heroes in the game, grouped into 6 \
different roles: tank, fighter, assassin,
marksman, support, and mage.
These roles determine the
responsibilities of players for their
respective teams. Support heroes, for
instance, can buff or heal their
teammates. That’s why they should stick
with their allies to keep them alive or
strong in battle.

Players must also level their heroes up by defeating enemy forces, specifically
computer-controlled minions, turrets, and heroes. Doing so earns them in-game money,
which they can spend on items that boost the stats of their heroes.

A typical game of Mobile Legends runs an average of 10 to 15 minutes, unlike MOBA


titles for PC like Dota 2 and League of Legends, which can last anywhere from 40
minutes to an hour.

How popular is it?

The game has reportedly amassed over 500 million downloads and 75 million active
players since it first launched. Much of its popularity is centered around Southeast Asia,
where the game has established itself as a major esport.

The Philippines, for example, has its own Mobile Legends esports league called MLBB
Professional League. It recently concluded its 4th season, with Sunsparks winning the
championship and nabbing the lion’s share of the $54,000 prize pool.

Non-professional players, meanwhile, have MLBB LIGA, a street battle event where
fans can compete against each other for prizes and bragging rights.

Outside of the country, there is MLBB World Championship 2019, or M1 for short, which
features 16 professional teams from 14 different countries.
