MDL PH Betting | Best Mobile Legends Odds
As a relatively new kid within the esports industry, Mobile Legends brings the thrill of MOBA games to mobile, so players can dive into games while on the go. Aiming to expand the esports ecosystem in Southeast Asia, Moonton's MLBB development league MDL PH is back with a bang with Season 4.
Just ten teams will compete, but only one will emerge victorious. MDL PH boasts a humble prize pool of $20K, but that's nothing compared to the adrenaline of competing. Players have chances to be subbed in to compete in the illustrious Tier-One MPL Philippines tournament, provided their performance is up to par.
By the end of this betting guide, MLBB fans should have a fountain of knowledge about the MDL PH and everything they need to know to before they place bets on MDL PH. Dive into the tournament's format and the teams competing, gain valuable insights using our helpful betting tips, and learn why you should choose Rivalry as your number-one trusted and best esports betting site around!
MDL PH: A Brief History
Since MLBB's release in 2016, Chinese game developers Moonton have been heavily promoting the competitive scene to increase their sphere of influence, beginning with smaller-scale esports competitions.
At the beginning of 2023, Moonton expanded the esports ecosystem in the Philippines by launching the Mobile Legends development league, MDL Philippines. As a second-tier professional tournament, it works as a feeder series for the MPL PH, bringing fresh talent into the competitive MLBB scene. Just like the MPL Philippines, MDL PH will happen two times a year: once in January/February and again in August/September.
MDL PH Season 1 kicked off with a bang on February 15, with the regular season ending on April 1. Eight franchised MPL Philippines' teams took part, with two invited amateur squads, making for a complete roster of ten teams. ECHO Proud claimed the throne for the inaugural MDL PH season, taking home the lion's share, $4,550, of the $20,000 overall prize pool.
MDL Philippines Season 2 followed a similar story, seeing ECHO Proud claim their second MDL PH title. Will there be a three-peat with the third season of MDL Philippines? Only time will tell. Follow along with the story with Rivalry, and see the full schedule and standings.
MDL PH Season 3: Format & Schedule
Like previous seasons, MDL PH Season 3 will have two stages: the Regular Season and the Playoffs. The Regular Season begins on March 12, 2024. All competing teams will compete in a single round-robin format, where all matches will be best-of-three.
The MDL PH features a unique points system, based on their performance in individual games, to decide each team's place in the standings and who advances to the Playoffs.
- Three points for winning 2-0 games
- Two points for winning 2-1 games.
- One point for losing 1-2 games
- Zero points for losing 0-2 games.
The top six teams with the most points advance to the Playoffs, which features a hybrid elimination system. 3rd-6th are seeded into the Playoffs Lower Bracket, while 1st-2nd are placed in the Upper Bracket. The top two teams will battle it out in the Grand Final for the lion's share of the pool

- Map Winner: In a similar way to match winner, users can also bet on the winner of each individual map. MLBB matches/maps are usually pretty short, around 15 minutes each, so the match is usually decided by playing more than one map, especially when the matchup is Bo3, Bo5, etc.
- Totals: For any risktakers out there, you can also bet on the total maps played over or under. This is great for predicting your favorite team getting an advantage over the opposing team, beating them by a landslide.
- Handicaps: Handicaps are a betting market that evens up the playing field. You can pick which side you want to gain an advantage over the other, and rake in some huge winnings.
