3. Three MPL Philippines Championships

Blacklist International etched their name in the annals of MLBB history by clinching three MPL Philippines titles.

Their dominance in Seasons 7, 8, and 10 showcased their consistency, resilience, and mastery of the evolving meta, solidifying their status as one of the league’s greatest teams.

 

4. MLBB 2021 SEA Games Gold Medal

Representing the Philippines on the international stage, Blacklist International’s core roster claimed the gold medal at the 2021 Southeast Asian Games.

Their triumph not only brought glory to the nation but also proved their superiority on the regional stage, further cementing their legacy.

This also started the Philippines' three-straight SEA Games gold medal run in MLBB.

The pinnacle of Blacklist International's journey came in 2021 when they conquered the world at the M3 World Championship.
