His soon-to-rise house will be up to two storeys high. According to Edward, “Nothing beats the happiness of seeing your dreams slowly coming true through your hard work. This is the fruit of playing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang at the age of 17.”
Edward is one of the youngest MPL-Philippines players from Blacklist International, an esports organization that was the first back-to-back MPL PH league champions, and the M3 World Championship title. MPL-Philippines is a franchise league that provides teams, players, and talents greater financial stability through its revenue-sharing model that provides a minimum salary and weekly subsidiaries.
