Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) mobile game, developed and published by Shanghai Moonton Technology. It was first released in November 9, 2016; the game has become popular in Southeast Asia and was among the games chosen for the first medal event esports competition at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines.
The two opposing teams fight to reach and destroy the enemy's base, while defending their own base for control of a path, the three lanes known as top, middle and bottom, which connects the bases. Weaker computer-controlled characters, called minions, spawn at team bases and follow the three lanes to the opposite team's base, fighting enemies and turrets. Each team constitutes five players, who each control an avatar, known as a hero, from their own device. Heroes are grouped into 6 different roles, Tank Tank Icon, Fighter Fighter Icon, Assassin Assassin Icon, Marksman Marksman Icon, Mage Mage Icon, and Support Support Icon.
