Team Falcons takes home the MPL MENA Season 5 championship trophy

Team Falcons successfully enacted their sweet revenge against Twisted Minds to win the MPL MENA Season 5 trophy.

Team Falcons finally won their first MPL MENA trophy after beating Twisted Minds in the grand final of Season 5. The Saudi super organisation dominated their opposition into a 4-1 victory to take home the trophy in their second try after failing to do so in MPL Mena Fall 2023. This successful campaign in Season 5 netted them $30,000 and a chance to represent the MENA region in the Mid-Season Cup 2024.

Team Falcons and Twisted Minds secured their spots after battling their way into the Grand Finals of the fifth season of the MLBB Professional League (MPL) MENA. These teams will bring the home-ground buff to the MSC 2024, held in conjunction with the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this year, where a life-changing, one-time $3,000,000 prize pool awaits.

Following an overhaul of the league in April, MPL MENA achieved new audience viewership benchmarks by all metrics this season. According to Esports Charts, Season 5 had 35,365 Peak Concurrent Viewers, 4,198 Average Viewers, and 438,280 (Hours Watched), surpassing all previous records set by the league. In particular, this season's PCV benchmark is more than four times higher than the previous high of 7,961 PCV set last season.

Team Falcons' victory over Twisted Minds in the Grand Finals was their first victory against them. Twisted Minds took them down twice, first during the regular season with a scoreline of 1-2 scoreline and again in the upper bracket semi-finals. Despite their second defeat dropping them to the lower brackets, Team Falcons showed resilience and mental fortitude to fight their way to the summit,  overcoming R8 Esports and Geekay Esports comprehensively.

Team Falcons' Fabito “Goodnight” Jelo was named MVP of the Match after controlling the midlane throughout the series. It was a case of "third time's the charm" for the Filipino, who finally secured the league title after twice coming short in the Grand Finals previously – with Team Falcons in the 2023 MPL MENA Fall Split and with Okami Esports in the 2023 MPL MENA Spring Split. 

MPL MENA Season 5 was organised by MOONTON Games and supported by the Saudi Esports Federation (SEF) and Global Presenting Partner, Qiddiya. The fifth edition of the region's premier MLBB esports event brought together the region's top 10 teams to compete for a USD 100,000 prize pool. The Grand Finals were held at VOV Gaming at ROSHN Front.

Can Team Falcons and Twisted Minds surprise everyone at MSC 2024 with their home turf buff?
