Community Gaming has announced the launch of MLBB Academy, a year-long initiative in partnership with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) and Forkast. Set to begin in March 2025, the program brings structured learning, competitive play, and blockchain-driven prediction markets to the growing LATAM esports scene. MLBB was the most watched game in Esports World Cup with 210 million viewers and the 3rd most rated esports event in 2024.
Developing Esports Talent in LATAM
The MLBB Academy is designed to support both aspiring players and longtime fans through a mix of educational content and grassroots tournaments. A 48-video training series, available in Spanish and Portuguese, will provide expert guidance on everything from basic mechanics to advanced competitive strategies. These lessons, produced by experienced players and casters, aim to help players sharpen their skills and gain a deeper understanding of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Beyond education, the initiative includes community tournaments scheduled for March and April 2025. Open to players of all skill levels, these competitions offer in-game diamond rewards for top performers. A dedicated LATAM MLBB Discord server will also be launched to serve as a central hub for tournament updates, strategy discussions, and community interaction.
Forkast Brings Prediction Markets to Mobile Legends Esports
One of the standout features of the MLBB Academy is its integration with Forkast, a crypto-based prediction platform from Community Gaming powered by the Ronin Network. With Forkast, fans can predict match outcomes for tournaments like MPL LATAM and the MLBB Academy series, earning rewards for accurate forecasts.
This interactive addition allows fans to engage with Mobile Legends esports beyond just watching matches. By merging prediction markets with competitive gaming, MLBB Academy and Forkast introduce a new way for fans to stay involved and interact with the competitive scene.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s Continued Growth
With over 641 million lifetime downloads and a surge of 7.6 million new users in the past month alone, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang remains a dominant force in mobile gaming. The game frequently ranks among the top esports titles, making it an ideal fit for initiatives like the MLBB Academy.
By combining training, competition, and engagement, Community Gaming aims to build a more connected esports community in LATAM, creating new opportunities for both players and fans.
A New Chapter for LATAM Esports
With structured training, open tournaments, and blockchain-powered fan engagement, the MLBB Academy is taking a fresh approach to esports development. Players will have a clear path to improving their skills, while fans can enjoy new ways to interact with the game’s competitive scene.
As the LATAM esports scene continues to grow, initiatives like this are shaping a more interactive and competitive future. With March 2025 just around the corner, players and fans alike have plenty to look forward to in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
