The Most Controversial MLBB Player in 2024: Hate, Hype, and the Pressure of Fame By Game Story PH In the world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), where fans are fiercely loyal and passionate, heroes are made—and sometimes torn down—in a blink. And in 2024, one player stood out not just for their gameplay, but for becoming one of the most polarizing figures in the MLBB esports scene. Let’s talk about the most "hated"—or perhaps misunderstood—MLBB player of 2024 , and why their journey reveals so much more about the esports community than just gameplay. 🎮 Who Is This Player? Let’s call him Player X (to maintain neutrality and avoid direct targeting). Player X is no stranger to the spotlight. He was once a celebrated jungler in a rising team during MPL Philippines Season 12 and 13. Known for his mechanical prowess and calculated aggression, he quickly rose in popularity—but just as fast, he became one of the most criticized names in the community. In Reddit threads,...

But sometimes, we miss out on the roots — where these players come from, the humble beginnings that shaped their game.

MPL Philippines: The Evolution of a Nation’s Esports Pride When Mobile Legends Became More Than a Game Back in 2016, when Mobile Legends: Bang Bang first hit Philippine smartphones, nobody could’ve predicted how massive it would become. What started as a fun pastime for barkadas turned into a full-blown competitive scene. Suddenly, ML wasn’t just for fun — it was a career path, a community, and for some, a dream come true . By 2018, this passion needed a bigger stage — and thus, the Mobile Legends Professional League Philippines , or MPL-PH , was born. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and explore how MPL-PH grew into the biggest esports league in the country , shaping a new generation of Filipino legends. Season 1 (2018): Humble Beginnings The very first MPL-PH season launched in 2018. Back then, it was a new and risky concept — could Mobile Legends be more than just a "larong pambarkada"? Eight teams battled it out for a modest prize pool of $20,000. The competition was ra...

The King of the Land of Dawn: The Rise of the Most Paid Filipino MLBB Player From Barangay Courts to Battle Arenas Mobile Legends: Bang Bang isn’t just a game in the Philippines — it’s a lifestyle , a community, and for some, a career . Almost every barkada has that one friend na laging nagso-solo lord, that one tank who never backs down, and of course — that one carry na laging MVP. But what if I told you that for some Pinoys, MLBB is more than just late-night ranked games and trashtalk sa GC? For a select few, it's a passport to financial freedom . And at the very top of that elite list is one name: Karl “Karltzy” Nepomuceno — widely considered the highest-paid Filipino Mobile Legends player as of recent years. The Early Days: A Gamer’s Dream Born in the Philippines, Karl Gabriel Nepomuceno , or Karltzy , grew up just like any other batang Pinoy — attending school by day, then rushing home to play with friends in online or mobile games. MLBB became his arena, his playground...

But in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, that battlefield isn't just in the Land of Dawn — it’s in the stories of the players, the passion of the fans, and the pressure of the stage. And in the Philippines, there’s one arena that continues to shape legends and break boundaries: the MPL Philippines . 🎮 The Beginning of a Dream The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League - Philippines , or MPL PH, was born in 2018 — a time when mobile gaming was still carving out its place in the competitive esports scene. MLBB had already gained massive popularity across Southeast Asia, but it needed structure, stakes, and something bigger. Then came Season 1 . A small yet determined start, with teams fighting not just for the prize pool but for pride. Nobody knew that this local tournament would eventually become one of the most respected and watched esports leagues in the world. 🌱 The Rise of Rivalries As t...

The Rise of the Gold Lane King: Oheb's Dominance in 2024 Gold lane is war. If you’ve ever played Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) competitively — or even just solo ranked — you’d understand how brutal the gold lane can be. It’s a one-on-one, sometimes do-or-die situation that can decide the outcome of a game in just minutes. And in 2024, no one mastered that battlefield better than Kiel Calvin “Oheb” Soriano . As a long-time MLBB fan, I’ve watched many gold laners come and go. Some are flashy. Some are safe. Others are aggressive to the point of recklessness. But Oheb?

The Gold Lane: A Test of Skill and Mentality Before we get into Oheb’s rise, let’s talk about the gold lane itself. The gold lane is for marksmen or mages , and it's designed to le...

The Best Jungler in the Philippines (2024): Who Dominated the Meta? If 2023 was wild for MLBB junglers, 2024 was a battlefield of precision, aggression, and fast decision-making. As someone who plays solo queue almost daily and follows the PH esports scene religiously, I’ve seen how the jungle meta has shifted — and who truly reigned supreme. From flashy assassins to reliable tanky cores, 2024 showcased a wide range of viable jungle heroes. But among all the contenders, one name consistently stood above the rest — Martis . Let me walk you through why Martis was the best jungler in the Philippines in 2024 , based on ranked experience, pro-level usage, and community love .

The Best Mage Heroes in Mobile Legends 2023: Who Ruled the Midlane? If you were part of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) scene in 2023 — whether casually playing with friends or grinding the solo queue — you’d know that 2023 was a crazy year for mage mains. The meta constantly shifted, assassin dives became more brutal, and roamers turned more aggressive. But in the heart of every game, there was still one hero that dictated the pace: the mage. As a dedicated mage main since 2019 (yes, I was that annoying Gord spamming lasers), I’ve seen mages come and go — from OP picks to forgotten benchwarmers. But 2023 stood out as a year of intelligent positioning, spellburst dominance, and fast rotations. In this post, let me take you through the best mage heroes of 2023 , based on real experience, community picks, and solid performance in ranked and pro scenes. 1.

The Reign of Nana: The Most Used Hero in MLBB 2023 When you think of the most used heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang , your mind probably goes straight to the flashier, high-skill-cap favorites like Lancelot, Chou, or Ling. But 2023? It was Nana’s year. Yes — Nana , the mischievous and adorable Feline Wizard, ruled the Land of Dawn not by sheer power alone, but by her unique playstyle, surprising effectiveness, and frustrating Molinas that turned enemy assassins into helpless plushies. I didn’t want to believe it either at first, but the data and the gameplay told the same story: Nana became the most used hero in MLBB throughout 2023 . Let me tell you why — and how I personally got swept up in the Nana hype too. My First Time Playing Nana I remember the first time I picked Nana — honestly, it was just for fun. I had seen memes about how annoying she was, especially that infamous "auto win with Molinas" post. I wasn’t even planning to take her seriously. But after jus...

Mobile Legends in the Philippines: A Personal Look at a Gaming Revolution When I first heard about Mobile Legends: Bang Bang , I didn’t expect much. It was just another game I saw trending on Facebook, shared by friends who usually didn’t even play games. But little did I know, this game was about to become one of the most iconic parts of Filipino gaming culture — and a big part of my own gaming journey. The Early Days: How It All Began Mobile Legends launched in July 2016, developed and published by Moonton, a Chinese gaming company. It was simple enough: a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) made for mobile phones. At that time, most popular MOBAs like Dota 2 and League of Legends required a PC and a strong internet connection — something not everyone in the Philippines had access to. But Mobile Legends ? All you needed was a smartphone, a decent mobile connection, and some free time. That’s it. It didn’t take long for word to spread. Suddenly, internet cafés were half-emp...
