History of Blacklist ML
BLCK, the abbreviation of Blacklist International, is a multi-gaming esports organization originating from the Philippines, which has many divisions, one of which is ML or Mobile Legends. Reporting from Liquipedia, the team was born in 2020 and currently has a total winning prize of around $449.155 USD or equivalent to Rp. 6.6 billion.
The beginning of the increasing popularity of the ML Blacklist team was winning the MPL Philippines Season 7 in 2021. After that, they also won 2nd place or became runners up in an international tournament, namely the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup 2021.
Many Mobile Legends esports activists are curious about the team's achievements. Winning the MPL in a country is not easy, especially winning 2nd place in the 2021 MLBB Southeast Asia Cup international tournament.
Before becoming a team called Blacklist International, the team captained by OhMyV33nus often changed names. For the first time, the team was named SXC Imbalance and started to enter the competitive Mobile Legends scene in the MPL Philippines Season 2 tournament.
This team was actually part of the EVOS esports organization. One season after becoming SXC Imbalance, EVOS made an acquisition. While being part of EVOS, this team has the name EVOS PH. However, many problems came to the EVOS PH. One of them is an indication of corruption by the management of EVOS PH and they finally disbanded after MPL Philippines Season 4 ended.
After the disbandment of EVOS PH, an esports organization called Tier One Entertainment acquired several rosters and finally announced the name of a new team, namely Blacklist International.
