Play In/Qualification Round is Back at MDL Season 4!

play-in round mdl season 4

The MLBB Development League tournament or commonly known as MDL will soon enter its newest Season 4. There's something special about MDL Season 4 this time, namely the holding of the qualifying round or Play In again.

The last Play In took place in MDL Season 1, and the following MDL season no longer uses qualifying rounds.

Play In itself is a qualifying round specifically for new teams who wish to take part in or participate in the Indonesian MDL event.

Oiya, could it be that there are still people here who are unfamiliar with the term MDL because they hear MPL more often?

MDL is the official tournament of the second MLBB caste from Moonton. Later in this MDL, there will be eight MPL academic teams that will compete, plus other teams outside of MPL.

It is certain that from the MDL Season 4 tournament, there will be many new talented young faces who will fill the MLBB pro scene in the future.
