TheMobile Legends: Bang BangGOAT is back.
Bren Esports starCarlito “Ribo” Ribo Jr.is returning to pro play with Z4 Esports, the esports organization owned by Smart Omega playerBilly “Z4pnu” Alfonso, the organization announced yesterday.

After a one-season hiatus, Ribo joins Z4pnu’s esports team
The announcement was posted on the organization’sFacebook page, officially welcoming the 27-year-old to the new squad.
“He will be playing under our management and he’ll be with us throughout our journey on this scene,” they wrote.
The veteran presence of one of the most accomplished MLBB players in MPL PH would be a valuable addition to the team.
The organization has already been dominating the amateur scene since its inception. To date, it has won theMLBB Supremo League,Underground League Season 6,Codashop Global Series Tournament,Lakandiwa Cup Season 11, andTambay League Summer Cup.
The team is looking forward to adding more trophies to their collection as they compete at theJuicy Legends Tournament Q2 playoffs lower bracket finalon June 25.
However, it’s still unclear whether Z4pnu’s esports team will join MPL PH Season 10 or continue to compete in amateur tournaments.
In avlogposted last year, Z4pnu said that he was interested in joining MPL PH’s franchise league should they open up more slots.
“It’s still uncertain if Z4 Esports will be joining the franchise league because there’s still no update from Moonton if there will be 8 or 10 teams,” said Z4pnu. “But if there will be 10 slots, we will join the league.”
Considered one of the best players in the region, Ribo is a two-time MPL PH champion, winning first with Aether Main during MPL PH Season 1 and then Bren Esports inMPL PH Season 6.
He picked up his biggest trophy yet last year, clinching theM2 World Championshipwith Bren Esports.
