The Philippines will field elite and experienced Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) national team at the Esports Nations Cup (ENC) 2026, bringing together top players from Team Liquid Philippines and Team Falcons Philippines for the global tournament set in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from Nov. 2 to 29, 2026.
The Esports Foundation confirmed that all roster submissions for the MLBB competition have been finalized, with 107 countries and territories set to compete. Each nation is building teams by combining its strongest professional players, and the Philippines is leaning on two of its most successful club cores.
The Philippine lineup features members of reigning Esports World Cup champions Team Liquid Philippines, including Jaypee, Sanji, and KarlTzy, alongside Team Falcons Philippines standouts FlapTzy and Super Marco. The mix brings together some of the country’s most decorated MLBB players, many of whom have already proven themselves on the international stage.
KarlTzy and FlapTzy also share a long competitive history. KarlTzy’s in-game name was inspired by esports player Arteezy, while FlapTzy adopted a similar naming style when both played for Bren Esports in 2020. The pair went on to help lead Bren Esports to the M2 World Championship title in 2021, making their reunion under the Philippine banner a notable storyline heading into ENC 2026.
The roster also shows the depth of the Philippines’ MLBB ecosystem, which has consistently produced world-class talent and championship-winning teams across major international events.
The Philippines is also expected to renew its rivalry with Indonesia, one of MLBB’s most dominant regions. Both countries are expected to field lineups built around established professional players, setting up another high-stakes meeting between two of the game’s most followed national fan bases.
In total, 107 national rosters have been submitted for the tournament, with final rankings set to determine direct invitations to the ENC 2026 Finals. The cutoff will be based on performances leading up to Aug. 2, with remaining slots filled through regional online qualifiers and wildcard stages.
The MLBB Mid Season Cup at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris will also be crucial in shaping the final lineup of qualified nations, alongside regional qualifiers scheduled for August.
