The week of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League (MPL) Philippines Season 16 Playoffs was exceptional. To watch the most exciting MLBB games, fans from all over the nation flocked to Pasay City's Cuneta Astrodome from October 20–26. Every game put strategy, talent, and collaboration to the test as the best teams battled for the crown. With cheers, clutch plays, and moments that will never be forgotten, the atmosphere both in the arena and online was electrifying, demonstrating once more why MPL PH is the home of legends.
Infinix took center stage during the thrilling Grand Finals on October 26 to celebrate the fervor and energy of the Filipino gaming community. Several activations that demonstrated how gaming transcends competition and thrives on skill, passion, and shared experiences were introduced by Infinix in collaboration with MPL Philippines.
“Infinix has been a steadfast partner of MPL Philippines for six consecutive seasons, equipping our athletes with devices crafted for competitive play. As the Season 16 Grand Finals approach, our partnership enters another milestone. Infinix remains deeply integrated in our superfans’ experience through immersive activations such as FANSiklaban and XLaban. Infinix’s impact is firmly rooted in the core memories of the MPL PH community.” ~Lee Viloria, PH Esports Head of Business Development and Partnerships at MOONTON Games

A New Era for Everyday Gamers
The attention was also drawn to the recently released Infinix GT 30, the newest model in the company's potent gaming portfolio that is specifically targeted for casual gamers. By providing flagship-level performance at an affordable price, the GT 30 built on the success of the GT 30 Pro, which was the official tournament phone for the MPL PH. The device enabled players to maintain their competitiveness and enjoy fluid gameplay both inside and outside of the arena because to its high refresh rate display, sophisticated cooling system, and long-lasting battery.
“MPL PH has always been the home of champions, a place where performance, prestige, and passion meet. Through this project, we wanted to create something truly meaningful, a symbol of excellence that celebrated not only professional players but also the fans who make the community shine.” ~Irish Del Rosario, Infinix Philippines Public Relations Supervisor

Not only does Infinix fuel the event, but it also honors the amazing people who contribute to each season's unique character. These include the Mythic Media Award, which honors creators who continue to inspire and expand the gaming community, the All-Star Team 1, which highlights the league's best athletes, and the Most Improved Player award, which honors the up-and-coming star who has stepped up their game.
Community at the Core
With participatory community events that honored fans just as much as the pros, Infinix blazed up the event, staying true to its purpose of making gaming accessible to all.
A highlight of the event was the XLABAN Showmatch, which included MPL PH commentators Athena and Uomi alongside gaming personalities Cherizawa and Jayat. Team #CheriNa and Team #JayMi were formed by fans who joined forces with their favorite MLBB icons. Highlight-worthy plays, laughing, and comradery abound in the bouts, demonstrating how gaming brings people of all skill levels together. The bragging rights were eventually won by #Team JayMi following an exciting set of games.
