This was unveiled on Wednesday in a joint press conference with the Department of Tourism, which the game developers will be partnering with in organizing the event. M5 in the Philippines marks the first time a major esports event will be held at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. &quot;We got a lot of requirements in mounting tournaments. It&#x27;s not easy to find a venue that meets all requirements in broadcasting, logistics and others. We need to have a lot of rooms to acommodate the players, and we need to check the Internet infrastructure since we rely on the internet so those are some of the infrastructure,&quot; Keith Medrano, Moonton Games Regional PR Manager said. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/05/07/23/echo-asserts-mastery-of-blacklist-bags-first-mpl-title">Echo asserts mastery of Blacklist, bags first MPL title</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/01/15/23/m4-echo-decodes-blacklist-for-landmark-world-title">M4: Echo decodes Blacklist for landmark world title</a></li></ul>Early bird ticket selling will start this Wednesday right until November 3.

The country&#x27;s representatives to M5 will be determined in the MPL Season 12 playoffs currently being held at the EVM Convention Center.
