Infinix and MOONTON Games have expanded their partnership to strengthen the competitive ecosystem of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports across Southeast Asia.
Under the agreement, Infinix will serve as the Presenting Partner of the MPL Indonesia Season 17, the Title Partner of MDL Indonesia Season 13, and the Official Sponsor of the inaugural MSL Thailand Season 1.
The partnership marks a major regional push for Infinix, positioning the brand deeper within Southeast Asia’s mobile esports scene.
Strengthening MLBB’s Regional Ecosystem
The collaboration builds on previous partnerships between Infinix and MLBB esports in markets such as the Philippines and Malaysia. Through its expanded role, the company will supply tournament-grade gaming devices and support localized fan engagement activities across several leagues.
Infinix will also help power competitions across multiple regional tournaments, reinforcing consistent competitive infrastructure for professional players.
According to Adrian Cher, Global Head of Partnerships for MLBB Esports at MOONTON Games, the collaboration plays a key role in maintaining competitive standards across leagues.
“MLBB esports operates one of the most competitive mobile esports ecosystems in the world, and maintaining consistent competitive conditions across them is critical. Partnerships like this ensure our players compete on infrastructure required for world-class mobile esports,” Cher said.

Community and Fan Engagement Initiatives
Beyond professional competition, Infinix and MLBB Esports are also launching programs aimed at strengthening community participation and grassroots esports development.
These initiatives include fan club tournaments inspired by the MPL PH FANsiklaban, where supporters of official MPL teams compete using Infinix GT series devices.
The partnership will also introduce campus-focused activities such as gaming master classes and the Infinix Campus Cup, a regional inter-school MLBB competition designed to help students explore esports and gaming careers.
In addition, Infinix plans to integrate its AIoT devices into tournament environments to support game analysis and enhance broadcast segments.
