While in the past, AP.Bren, now known as Team Falcons PH, has dominated the rankings as the highest-earning team in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, a new challenger has climbed up the rankings. Team Liquid PH burst onto the MLBB esports scene in 2024 after acquiring the roster of ECHO. Since then, the team has found major success, claiming two MPL Philippines championships, a top four finish at the MSC 2024, and finally their first international title at the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2025.
The MLBB Mid Season Cup 2025, held as part of the Esports World Cup, boasted one of the largest prize pools in MLBB history. With over $3,000,000 on the line, the grand finals between Team Liquid PH and SRG.OG was a hardfought battle for the first place $1,000,000 prize. Ultimately, TLPH claimed the top spot, but SRG.OG still received a significant chunk of change themselves, which kept some of their longer-standing players high on our ranking.
Some of Team Falcons PH players, such as FlapTzy and Pheww maintained their spots as some of MLBB’s highest-earning players. The two were instrumental in the dominant legacy of the AP.Bren roster, highlighted by multiple world championships and a victory at M5 World Championship in 2023, where they took home a substantial share of the $900,000 prize pool. In addition to their world titles, AP.Bren consistently secured top results in prestigious events like MPL Philippines, further boosting their players’ earnings and solidifying their place at the top of the competitive scene.
Profiles of the top Mobile Legends Bang Bang players by tournament winnings
#10 - Mark "Kramm" Rusiana ($290.4K)
Mark "Kramm" Rusiana has established himself as one of the strongest EXP laners and in-game leaders in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports. After a short stint with ONIC Philippines, Kramm moved to the Selangor Red Giants, where he has earned massive success. Most significantly, he helped his team to a $1,000,000 prize and first place at the EWC X MLBB Mid Season Cup 2024.
Despite his short but successful career, he has not achieved much outside of this massive international victory. A podium place at the recent M6 World Championship earned his team only $90,000, and his multiple MPL Malaysia championships amount to even less than this in winnings. The team’s luck turned around with a second place finish at the recent Mid-Season Cup, where the team took home another half-million in prizes. SRG.OG’s time at the top is clearly not over, and Kramm and his teammates could continue to climb the rankings on the back of international successes.
#9 - Angelo “Pheww” Arcangel ($295.2K)
Angelo "Pheww" Arcangel, a standout figure in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, has earned $295,200 throughout his career, establishing himself as one of the most skilled and strategic players in the game. Together with the rest of his team, he has achieved numerous championships throughout his long career. Since 2018, he has competed passionately in the regional scene and earned numerous championships along the way.
Although Pheww and his legendary teammates like FlapTzy, who now compete with Team Falcons PH, have achieved historic results, their time with Team Falcons has been less than ideal. While nationally a strong competitor, the team has been unable to claim the top spot in their local MPL, and also failed to achieve strong results internationally throughout 2025.
Nevertheless, Pheww is one of the longest-standing legends of the Filipino MLBB community, and in early 2025, he was inducted into the Hall of Legends for the circuit. Throughout his years under the Bren banner, he has earned a massive purse of prizes.
#8 - David "FlapTzy" Canon ($310.3K)
David "FlapTzy" Canon solidified his place as one of the most successful and dominant players in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, earning $310,300 throughout his career. In 2019, he began competing in MLBB and slowly climbed his way to the top of the game. Under Bren’s banner, he achieved numerous world championships and regional titles and was named MVP at numerous events throughout 2023 and 2024. Just recently, alongside his teammate, he was inducted into his region’s MPL Hall of Legends.
Together with his new squad Team Falcons PH, FlapTzy and his teammates have struggled to achieve the same dominant success they previously enjoyed. With international competition heating up within MLBB esports, Team Falcons PH have their work cut out for them to work their way back to the top of the mobile gaming esports scene.
#7 - Muhammad "Yums" Suhairi ($214.5K)
Muhammad "Yums" Suhairi is a member of the currently dominant Selangor Red Giants roster, which he joined at the end of 2023. He has been instrumental in the team claiming an MPL Malaysia championship and titles at international events. His time with the Selangor Red Giants has been most profitable, eclipsing the rest of his career.
He previously played for the Malaysian organization TODAK for years, even achieving numerous MPL Malaysia championships during his tenure. However, the Malaysian circuit is not profitable in comparison to this new wave of international events. Yums’ current career with the Selangor Red Giants will likely continue to be extremely profitable, benefiting from his dominance as a Roamer.
Throughout 2025 so far, Yums has claimed a second place at the MSC 2025 and another MPL Malaysia title with his team SRG.OG; during his championship MPL MY Season 15 run, he achieved a 100% win-rate with one of his signature heroes, Kalea. This all followed off the back of a third-place finish at last year’s M6 World Championship. SRG.OG are poised to continue dominating MLBB esports, so keep an eye out for their players rocketing up our rankings.
#6 - Alston “Sanji” Pabico ($324.3K)
Alston "Sanji" Pabico is the Middle player and in-game leader for Team Liquid PH, whose roster previously played under the ECHO banner. After debuting with the team in 2022, Sanji rapidly became a pivotal part of ECHO’s success, helping lead them to a world championship at the M4 in 2023. For his performances through MPL PH Season 13 and 15 Sanji earned multiple MVP awards.
Sanji’s largest prize chunk came from the recent MLBB Mid Season Cup 2025, where his team claimed the $1,000,000 prize for first place. This result, as well as a top four finish at last year’s MSC and their world championship, make up the majority of Sanji’s total prize money. As it stands, Team Liquid PH are in a position to continue dominating both regionally and internationally.
#5 - Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya ($327.9K)
Sanford "Sanford" Vinuya is an EXP laner who rose to prominence with ECHO, earning Knockout Stage awards at the M4 World Championship and Finals MVP awards in MPL Philippines Seasons 11 and 13. His time with ECHO, and now Team Liquid PH, has seen him contribute to some of the team’s highest peaks. At the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2025, where the team took home a $1,000,000 prize, Sanford was given the MVP award on the back of his team’s victory.
Sanford has quickly become one of MLBB’s top EXP laners. On both the regional and international stage, he has often proven himself to be a cut above the competition, and for the coming international events, he and his teammates at TLPH will be looking to prove their prowess once again.
#4 - Jaypee “Jaypee” Cruz ($330.1K)
Jaypee "Jaypee" Cruz is one of MLBBs oldest professionals, who has been competing in the esports scene since 2018. Jaypee first competed in the MPL Philippines in Season 2, but his first successes would come with Sunsparks during Season 4, when they claimed the regional title and even finished top 6 at the M1 World Championship. Since then, Jaypee has continued his legacy of top results in MLBB.
After claiming multiple MPL Philippines titles, he claimed his first-ever world championship with ECHO at the M4, and went on to claim more MPL Philippines titles, as well as some top results internationally. As one of the older players on the Team Liquid PH roster, his wealth of experience has been crucial in driving this team to the top.
#3 - Muhammad "Sekys" Zaman ($338.5K)
Muhammad Haqqullah "Sekys" Ahmad Shahrul Zaman has risen to prominence as one of the highest-earning players in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, amassing $338,516 in prize money through his stellar performances as a Jungler. A key member of the Selangor Red Giants, Sekys played a pivotal role in their deep tournament runs recently.
Sekys has long made himself known as one of Malaysia’s strongest talents, and he can now prove this fact on the international stage. After joining the Red Giants in early 2023, he was crucial in turning their roster into world-leading competitiors. Now, he can reap the rewards and continue to impress as one of MLBB’s strongest players, continuing to enjoy top results with SRG.OG.
#2 - Kiel “OHEB” Q.Soriano ($357K)
Kiel "OHEB" Soriano is a Filipino gold laner known for his consistent performances in both domestic and international competitions. One of TLPH’s older players, he previously was part of the dominant Blacklist International Roster, before being signed to Team Liquid PH in early 2025.
Across his career, he claimed numerous MPL Philippines titles with Blacklist International, and even a world championship at the M3 World Championship. These results, as well as other top finishes like second place at the M4 and third place at the M5 set him slightly ahead of many of his other teammates. Now, with Team Liquid, he has already achieved his first MPL Philippines title with the team, and claimed his first-ever Mid Season Cup title.
#1 - Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno ($376.3K)
Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno is one of the most decorated Junglers in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. He began his professional career in 2018, his big break came when he signed to Bren Esports in 2020. On top of claiming a world title at the M2 World Championship in 2021, he then moved to ECHO, where he achieved another title at the M4 World Championship.
KarlTzy's reign of dominance in MLBB is unlikely over. Team Liquid PH are poised to stand at the top of MLBB competition, and KarlTzy could become a MLBB world champion for the third time, with three seperate teams each time. Across his historic career so far, he has earned $376,284 in prize money, setting him ahead of the other top-earning players.
These players have not only earned impressive prize money but also helped shape the landscape of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports with their exceptional skill and dedication. Each of these top earners has left an indelible mark on the game, inspiring future generations of players. As the competitive scene continues to grow, these stars will undoubtedly remain at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in MLBB and further solidifying their legacies in the esports world.
