Hardcore fans are crying foul after Blacklist International’s OhMyV33nus, Wise, and OHEB were left out in the voting of The Greatest 10 list of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang competitive history.
A three-time MPL PH champion and M3 world champion, the VeeWise duo and OHEB did not make the cut in the list of MPL PH player nominations which included world champions Yawi, Bennyqt, Hadji, KarlTzy, Pheww, and Ribo.
According to Blacklist International, leaving out OhMyV33nus and Wise had caused a division in the Mobile Legends community.
“The discussion around The Greatest 10 Players has become a source of negativity in the community. While we respect the decisions behind creating the initial list, we believe there has been a lack of communication and recognition for some of the game’s best players,” Blacklist International said in the statement.
“Even though the criteria for this list were announced, inconsistent implementation and lack of communication only created more confusion and misunderstanding. Legendary players and their achievements deserve better and this applies not only to Blacklist’s OhMyV33NUS, Wise, and Oheb but to Myanmar’s ACE as well,” it continued.
“Though they are unable to participate in this official list at this time, we want to recognize them and call on fans to unite in celebrating them, instead of spreading hate.”
The Greatest 10 list is aimed to pay tribute to the greatest players of all time in Mobile Legends. Through votes, The Greatest 10 list will be determined by fans and experts alike before the conclusion of the M5 World Championship in December.
And while OhMyV33nus, Wise, and OHEB were left out, Blacklist International stressed that they are some of the greatest players to play the game.
“To VeeWise and Kiel (OHEB): Regardless of any lists, videos, or sentiments—nobody can take away your achievements. To us, you will always be remembered as some of the greatest players we’ve ever seen in Mobile Legends,” Blacklist International said.
