MPL Malaysia Season 17 Roster List Announced

The MPL Malaysia Season 17 roster was announced during a press conference last Thursday. All 8 franchise teams are present with their lineups.

The enfranchised league will consist of two Chinese teams, two Indonesian teams, three Malaysian teams, and one Singaporean team.

Their team lineup is pretty diverse, dominated with Malaysian players as well as imports from Indonesia and the Philippines. There is no homogenous, all-Malaysian team in this tournament.

We can expect an exciting and tight league as MPL Malaysia Season 17 starts on April 3. Meanwhile, let us check what’s interesting on this season’s roster.
