As the countdown begins to the opening of MPL Philippines Season 17 on March 20, teams are unveiling their rosters, signaling a season of renewed strategies and high-stakes competition.

Team Falcons is among the squads making bold moves and implementing significant changes to their lineup. The veteran midlaner Angelo Kyle “Pheww” Arcangel will no longer be competing, paving the way for fellow icon Salic “Hadji” Imam to join the roster.

The Falcons officially announced their updated lineup:

• Salic “Hadji” Imam – Mid lane

• David “FlapTzy” Canon – EXP lane

• Edferdz "Ferdz" Fernandez – EXP lane

• Michael “KyleTzy” Sayson – Jungler

• Marco “Super Marco” Requitiano – Gold lane

• Rowgien “Owgwen” Stimpson Unigo – Roamer

Hadji brings an impressive track record to the team. He is a two-time NPL champion with Blacklist International and a key member of the squad that won the M3 World Championship, promising a potent boost for the Falcons this upcoming season.

Meanwhile, APBREN has confirmed the return of SP-laner Kiel “Kielvj” Cruzem, who has spent nearly three years competing abroad. The two-time MPL Philippines champion joins a revamped APBREN lineup with the goal of bouncing back from a challenging 4-10 record in Season 16.

Other teams who have announced their latest lineup include Smart Omega featuring Jeymz (EXP Laner), Minguin (Mid Laner), Perkziva (Roamer), Netskie (Gold Laner), Raizen (Jungler), and Peuder (Multirole).

Twisted Minds PH announced their loud, fearless roster, including Lansu (EXP Laner), Sionnn (Mid Laner), Caloy (Roamer), Nosia (Gold Laner), MPtheKing (Jungler), and Owl (Sub-Gold Laner).

Meanwhile, ONIC PH champions their new chapter with a leveled-up roster including SuperFrince (Mid Laner), K1NGKONG (Jungler), Brusko (Roamer), Savero (Gold Laner), Kirk (EXP Laner), Ryota (Sub-EXP Laner), and BLUFFZY (Sub-Gold Laner).

With the new season fast approaching, fans can expect high drama and fresh strategies as teams enter MPL Philippines Season 17 carrying the weight of roster revamps and championship ambitions.
