Falcons AP.Bren is no more as Team Falcons and Bren Esports ended their partnership.
Yet another Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) that was a product of a partnership between two esports organisations has ceased to exist. The MLBB Professional League (MPL) Philippines announced on Friday (January 17) that Falcons AP.Bren is no more as Saudi Arabia-based Team Falcons and Philippines-based AP.Bren have decided to end their partnership after six months.
The announcement was made by MPL Philippines through its official social media accounts, with the league also thanking Team Falcons for their participation and bidding them good luck in their next chapter in MLBB esports.
During their partnership, the Falcons AP.Bren team was known as one of the best MLBB teams in the world, though they failed to win a single MOONTON-hosted tournament under their name.
Falcons AP.Bren were the runners-up in Season 13 of MPL Philippines, losing to Team Liquid PH in the grand finals. In the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2024, hosted as part of the Esports World Cup 2024, the team once again finished second after losing to Selangor Red Giants. And in MPL PH Season 14, they failed to reach the grand finals as they lost to Aurora in the lower bracket finals, depriving the champions of the M5 World Championship the chance to defend their title in the M6 World Championship.
While MPL Philippines is already saying goodbye to the team, the Filipino MLBB esports community speculated that this wouldn't be the last they'll hear of Team Falcons. Rumours are already circulating regarding the organisation's inclusion in the league if an empty spot is present.
RSG Philippines already showed signs that they will sign off from MPL Philippines after holding a garage sale of equipment from their boot camp. Meanwhile,
Blacklist International coach Kristoffer “BON CHAN” Ricaplaza also signaled that his team has finished its last dance. With that said, the two aforementioned teams have yet to officially announce their departure from the Philippine's top domestic MLBB league.
