The Esports Foundation has officially confirmed the roster submissions for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tournament at the Esports Nations Cup aka ENC 2026. Scheduled from November 2 to November 29, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this event will feature national teams competing against each other.
Notably, as per the original press release, a total of 107 countries and regions have submitted their teams. For this tournament, players are taking a break from their professional teams to represent their nations internationally.
Philippines Forms MLBB Squad for ENC 2026
One of the most buzzed-about lineups is the Philippines’ team, built by bringing together top players from the nation’s leading gaming orgs.
Jaypee, Sanji, and KarlTzy come from Team Liquid PH, while FlapTzy and Super Marco represent Team Falcons PH. This squad really shines because KarlTzy and FlapTzy used to be teammates at the M2 World Championship back in 2021, so they have that killer chemistry.
They’ve got several international titles and loads of experience under their belts. That’s why many see the Philippines as one of the top contenders entering the competition.
Indonesia and Myanmar Bring Strong Cores
Indonesia has a strong national team thanks to players from top MPL groups. They have Yakuzee, Arfy, and alekk from Alter Ego, along with ONIC’s Lutpiii and S A N Z.
Myanmar’s squad mixes talent from the region’s top teams too. Hann, Blink, and Ying are from Yangon Galacticos, while Alitaaa and Niko come from Mythic Seal. This creates a well-rounded team with solid experience.
As the host nation, Saudi Arabia aims to make a statement on home soil. The roster is built around Team Falcons’ MENA core, featuring Saano, Trolll, and Cuffin, alongside K7 and Arshven.
The team enters the competition with strong chemistry and will be looking to prove that the MENA region can compete with traditional Mobile Legends powerhouses from Southeast Asia.
Though all rosters are finalized, qualification for the main event isn’t quite done yet. On August 2, 2026, the official rankings will wrap up and reveal which sixteen teams get a direct invite to the ENC Finals.
The others still have a shot through online qualifiers set for August 14-16. Plus, there are two more wildcard spots available.
Expect the upcoming Mid Season Cup at the Esports World Cup 2026 to shake things up too. It could seriously impact the rankings before invites lock in.
