Filipino esports giant TNC Predator has officially entered the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang professional scene, tapping Work Auster Force for the upcoming MPL Philippines Season 8 on Tuesday, July 13.
TNC owner Eric Redulfin previously told Manila Bulletin that they were planning to join the MPL which is reported to implement a franchise-based model.
TNC is looking to carry its dominance in the local Dota 2 landscape into the Mobile Legends competitive ground.
“Being widely known for their great achievements in Dota 2 and being Southeast Asian multi-gaming organization of Philippine net cafe chain, we are proud to announce that TNC has now entered the Mobile Legends scene and we are honored to be its new banner holder,” Work said through Facebook.

Work Auster Force has not stepped into the MPL Philippines Season 7 arena yet but expectations are already soaring high for this rookie in the big league.
Well, that wasn’t surprising especially with reigning MPL king and world champion Bren Esports paying respect to this team.
Two-time world title winning coach Francis “Duckeyyy” Glindro confidently picked Work to qualify for Season 7 and join them in Moonton’s professional league.
And Work did not let Duckeyyy down as it utterly crushed the opposition in the Main Qualifiers held back in January.
Marksman/assassin Daniel “Chuuu” Chu and the crew never dropped a single game in three upper bracket series, taking 2-0 sweep over Laus Playbook Esports, Season 1 champion team Aether Main and Season 3 winning organization ArkAngel in the winners’ finals.
