The year 2023 has been a banner season for AP.Bren, having toured around the world and claimed titles one after another. 

But as if the Southeast Asian Games gold medal, the IESF World Esports Championship and the MPL Philippines Season 12 title were still not enough, the Bees from the Hive went on and capped the already incredible run with the M5 World Championship.

In the process, AP.Bren also broke some curses and made plenty of firsts in MLBB Esports history. The MPL Philippines Season 12 champions not only became the sole team with two M-series titles under their belt but also emerged as the lone host team to bag the title.

The Filipinos were also the first to achieve two world titles through the M-series and IESF in the same year and undoubtedly extended the once doubted Philippine era in the scene.

Asked about the splendid run, roamer Rowgien “Owgwen” Unigo said the team simply believed that they can all get the job done.

“Katulad ng sinabi ni Kyletzy, sa amin ang taon na ito. Naniwala lang ako, kami sa sinabi ni Kyletzy,” said Owgwen while wearing a wide smile on his face.

Having achieved all of it in just a year span was a humbling experience for the part of head coach Francis “Duckeyy” Glindro especially with all the struggles the team had in the past few seasons.

“This year has been amazing for us. We've been all over the world literally. We're really thankful to all the opportunities that were given to me and my team as well as the organization that I'm in, currently AP.Bren,” said the Hall of Legend coach.

“It is really humbling to be the one that actually won all those tournaments. I hope this is not our peak,” he added.
