The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines (MPL PH) Season 17 is set to open with an exciting blockbuster match as reigning champs Team Liquid Philippines take on Aurora Gaming PH in the heavyweight opener on March 20 at the Victoria Sports Tower.
Team Liquid welcomes back their Indonesian import Sultan “Aeronnshikii” Muhammad to reinforce a strong lineup led by Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, along with veterans Alston “Sanji” Pabico, Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya, and Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz as they aim to defend their title despite the absence of Kiel “Oheb” Soriano, who is taking an indefinite break.
Aurora Gaming, meanwhile, kept its championship roster intact following international success in the M7 World Championship, with stars like Edward “Edward” Dapadap, Jonard “Demonkite” Caranto, Kenneth “Yue” Tadeo, Jan “Domengkite” Del Mundo, and Dylan “Light” Catipon returning to compete.
The clash between these two powerhouse teams will kick off Season 17 and set the tone for what promises to be a thrilling campaign in Filipino esports.
