League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) acting president and Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte on Tuesday launched the first-ever Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) Tournament at the Solaire Resort North.
Belmonte declared open the league’s 1st MLBB competition, which will run from November 12 to February 2025.
The tournament is geared towards finding a talent among the youth to build bonding moments or relationships with all of the city mayors across the country.
“E-sports is a new thing brought about by technology. Too much of anything is bad. But if it’s done in moderation and if it’s good for the child, then it’s okay,” Belmonte said.
LCP national chairperson and Bacolod City Mayor Alfredo Benitez said the competition’s goal is to find a top athlete in the field of e-sports.
At least 149 cities of the country will participate in the tournament.
The overall champion will receive a cash prize of P3 million.
