This marks the sixth Southeast Asian country to be included in the MPL structure. The competition will be broadcasted via TikTok, Facebook, Nimo TV and YouTube.
Trinity Wu, Cambodia Marketing Team of MOONTON Games, spoke on the announcement in a release: “We are elated to bring the MPL league to Cambodia and serve the local esports community.
“We’d like to thank our partners for helping to bring this exciting development into fruition and are looking forward to uplifting the esports community with our esports expertise.”
The tournament will feature a total of 16 teams, including Impunity Cambodia, Seeyousoon, Burn Gaming, and NewBlood, among others. Teams will be battling it out for a share of the competition’s $40,000 (~GBP28,664) prize pool.

The announcement follows the expansion of MPL to Brazil, the first MPL competition outside of Southeast Asia
Esports Insider says: Given the popularity of mobile titles in Southeast Asia, it’s no surprise to see the developer expanding its esports league to another SEA country. The expansions of MPL to Cambodia and Brazil follows the acquisition of MOONTON Games by Chinese technology company Byte Dance, which clearly shows the company’s intentions of further developing the MLBB esports scene.
I have learned some important things via your post. I might also like to convey that there might be situation in which you will make application for a loan and don’t need a cosigner such as a Federal Student Support Loan. In case you are getting financing through a common banker then you need to be ready to have a cosigner ready to allow you to. The lenders may base that decision over a few aspects but the biggest will be your credit ratings. There are some loan providers that will additionally look at your work history and decide based on that but in most cases it will hinge on your score.
