As the Mobile Legends Professional League’s twelfth season approaches for the Philippines, the teams are confirming their finalised rosters – and Blacklist International is next on the cards. While Blacklist has definitely had quite a successful year, it has been one of the second-place finishes, with ECHO getting the better of them at both the M4 World Championships and Season 11 – while their elusive MSC title still awaits them, as ONIC Esports claimed it at the last hurdle. But with a refreshed roster, the Agents look to Break the Code.
One of the most important aspects of the Blacklist roster change is the absence of 
Johnmar “OhMyV33NUS” Villaluna and Danerie “Wise” James, as both players have decided to take a break for Season 12. While very capable individuals fill their positions, the last time the two took a break was in Season 9 – Blacklist did not make the playoff stage back then, so we can only hope that the same does not occur once again. With that in mind, let’s delve into the roster coming in for Season 12.
Some old favourites return this season for Blacklist, with both Hadji and OHEB returning to the main roster. The team also additionally brought in Sensui, previously of ONIC Philippines, as well as a few players from the Blacklist Academy, while Renejay remains a fixture on the roster too. The full Blacklist International roster for MPL PH Season 12 is as follows:
- Edward Jay “Edward” Dapadap
- Salic “Hadji” Imam
- Kiel Calvin “OHEB” Soriano
- Kenneth Carl “Yue” Tadeo
- Owl
- Renejay “RENEJAY” Barcarse
- Stephen “Sensui” Castillo
- Kimpoy
- Eyon
- BON CHAN (Coach)
The final aspect of this roster is the welcomed return of Coach BON CHAN after he too took a short break for the first half of 2023. The upcoming season is definitely going to be quite difficult for Blacklist, with the absence of their star duo, but we have seen this team overcome the biggest obstacles before and we expect them to still throw everything at it. We will have to wait just a few more days to see Blacklist in action when MPL PH Season 12 kicks off.
