In an exciting and monumental move, MLBB Publisher Moonton has invited the new Team Vitality MLBB roster to participate in their Franchise League. As part of the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) the all-female roster will compete in the upcoming MDL Season 10 against the top Indonesian teams.

“We are thrilled to announce the integration of Bigetron Era into Team Vitality, marking a significant strategic move for us. It’s an immense honour to welcome one of the world’s premier teams, regardless of gender, into our family.

THE AMBITION TO WIN NEW TITLES AT THE EWC

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) women’s competition takes place during the last week of July at the Esports World Cup 2024. This is the only women’s scene to be represented at this major event. With their qualification for the event secured and their status as one of the favourites for the competition, the new Team Vitality players will have an outstanding opportunity to shine on the international stage.

The acquisition of this new team is also a major asset in terms of the EWC Club Championship in which Team Vitality will be competing for a total of $20,000,000 prize pool. This programme offers participating clubs the opportunity to collect points based on their performances across several different games during the competition. The overall winner will be crowned the inaugural Esports World Cup Champion at the end of August in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 

EXPANDING AND STRENGTHENING THE TEAM VITALITY COMMUNITY WORLDWIDE

The addition of this new roster to the Team Vitality family marks another significant step in the club’s global expansion strategy. By joining MLBB’s competitive scene with Bigetron Era, the organisation is strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, where esports enjoys unprecedented popularity. 

The game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has crossed 1 billion downloads with peak monthly players of 100 million and more. In terms of esports, the MPL ranks amongst the most watched esports events ever, recording an impressive 5,067,107 peak viewership during their most recent M5 World Championship. MLBB therefore offers a great opportunity for Team Vitality to engage further and extend its reputation in mobile gaming, following its presence in Call of Duty Mobile with Vitality India.

It is also Team Vitality’s second women’s team. Like the Rising Bees, the League of Legends women’s roster, Team Vitality is continuing to develop women’s esports by integrating talented players such as this new roster.  Team Vitality hopes to develop and empower young women everywhere to take an interest or a career in gaming and esports.
