Mobile Legends Franchising – MPL Malaysia Joining Up?
Esports franchising is commonly referred to as a failed venture in the Western world, with countless examples of money-hungry organizations biting off more than they can chew with the esport suffering for it. However, Mobile Legends franchising has been an incredible success, so much so that MPL Malaysia looks to upgrade it’s model – read on to learn more.
Mobile Legends Franchising – It’s Possible
Under the watchful gaze of MOONTON Games, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has blossomed into the undisputed best mobile esports in the world with plenty of Mobile Legends betting opportunities. Moreover, a few of the MPL leagues transitioned to franchised models earlier in this decade as listed:
- 2019 – MPL Indonesia
- 2021 – MPL Philippines
Unlike other esports, where franchising tanked the esport, these regional leagues took off with the announcement of franchising. Moreover, their viewership numbers continue to explode after 14 iterations.
Accordingly, MPL Malaysia, although a smaller region compared to Indonesia and the Philippines, is thinking of switching up to franchising. At just 870,000 peak viewers in the past years, here’s what Mahruddin, MOONTON Game’s Malaysia Esports Lead had to say:
Looking at MPL ID and MPL PH, they have demonstrated the value of a franchise model.
It provides more stability and financial security for teams by giving them a longer runway to secure investment and fruitful partnership, a more structured ecosystem for athletes to pursue their dreams and overall a more sustainable esports ecosystem. I think all the benefits would bring MPL Malaysia and Malaysian esports to the next level.
To add to the statement, this would also add further Mobile Legends betting opportunities and Mobile Legends odds.
Indeed, the question here is simple – is MPL Malaysia ready for franchising? In our opinion, with the direction Mobile Legends is heading and how well MOONTON is managing the franchised system, it’s worth a shot.
