A new organization will grace the competitive Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) scene in the Philippines next season.
Philippine-based esports organization TNC will enter the mobile MOBA scene for the first time. This comes after they announced a major partnership with Work Auster Force for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League PH Season 8 (MPL PH S8).
TNC’s debut season in MPL PH S8
TNC, most well-known for fielding its Dota 2 squad, hinted before that it was interested in securing a slot for MPL PH S8, which will now run on a franchise-based model.
Yesterday, it formalized its partnership with a young and promising squad, Work Auster Force, acquiring all of its players, including coach Laurence “Lift” Ruiz, and a few newcomers to complete the 10-man team.
“We are back and this time we’ll give you something new in the mix, see you around,” TNC wrote on their Facebook page.
