The Mobile Legands: Bang Bang Season 9 is commencing this weekend with the first schedules of battles slated this Friday, February 18. The first teams to break the ice are Blacklist International and ONIC PH from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Considering the stellar performance of both teams as finalists of the M3 World Championship, this duel is undoubtedly one of the most awaited fights in this season. However, Blacklist International would go on with the absence of power duo ‘OhMyV33nus’ Villaluna and Danerie ‘Wise’ del Rosario. Can KentXAvier ‘Kevier’ Lopez take the reins for this legendary team? We’ll find out.
